The experience of learning English

When I first learned learnt to write in English,_I ran into many difficulties.__The main problem was that I always thought think in Chinese and tried to translate everything into Chinese.__My teacher advised me to keep diaries. I follow her advice.__Happily, it worked.__Soon I began to enjoy talking to myself on paper as I wrote and was learning to express myself in simple English.__One day, I wrote a short story and showed it to my teacher. She liked it so much that she read it to the class. Everyone said the story was a good one.__I was greatly encouraged by their words.

Your teacher did you a great favour.  Except for minor mistakes and the way of expressing things, you are doing very well.  Another piece of advice.  If you have time, also provide a Chinese translation.  This way, in future, when you look back, you can not only see your improvement but also to be able to understand what you had written in case you could not decipher your English.  I had been keeping diaries since I was 12 and is still continuing everyday.
