Hey Summer! This is very good :) Just pay attention to how we write a comma. There is always a space after it:


Hi everyone, (I would move it to the end of the line here)

This is the first time that I write a diary in English, I feel a little bit nervous but I am also excited about it. I hope that there is someone who can help me with my English. (Since you are ending a sentence here, I would put a full stop at the end).

Thank you


Here are also some rules applied when we write letters - and your entry reminded me of that, which is why I'm mentioning it :)

(http://www.sussex.ac.uk/informatics/punctuation/essaysandletters/letters)

In British English, the greeting is always followed by a comma:

Dear Esther, or
Dear Mr Jackson,

In American usage, only a personal letter takes a comma here, while a business letter takes a colon:

Dear Esther, but
Dear Mr. Jackson:

If you are writing to a firm or an institution, and you have no name, you may use the greeting Dear Sir/Madam.

The closing always takes a comma:

Yours lovingly, or
Yours faithfully,
