Hi Ting, I read your piece and thought it was amazing! However, for some reason my laptop is not allowing me to correct you work. I am very sorry about it. Instead, I will rewrite a cleaner version of your writing.
I didn't write my diary and I didn't remember my English words yesterday. Maybe because I was in a bad mood. (1) Now, I am thinking I can't be emotional, life is still underway. So I will continue to write my diary.
Yesterday, I watched the news about the terrorist attack on the British Parliament in London. I thought about how the British people were feeling.
Last year, I saw a similar attack happen in China on the news. I can remember how it affected the people in China when we saw the news. People were fearful and guarded in the beginning. Some people were scared and cautious of the people who came from Xinjiang. (2) They were living in coloured glasses in that period. (3)
We had become so conditioned to the news because we could always watch it. People will become numb if they hear something often, but they can never be affected as much as the family who were attacked by terrorists. I am not saying people should have to feel the pain they have because that is a bad thing. I am just saying that the news can bring good things but also very bad things.
(1) Bad mood means that you are angry or a bit irritable. If you mean you were unhappy, say you were sad or upset.
(2) I am not completely sure of what you meant here. Did you mean everyone was scared of the people in Xinjiang?
(3) Again, I am not sure of what you meant here. Perhaps it is a Chinese translation?
I need someone to correct my writing. Thank you.
I didn't write a diary entry or revise English words yesterday. (remember is different from revise, remember simply means to recall something from memory). Maybe it was because I was in a bad mood. I think I can't be too emotional, life goes on. So, l will continue to write in my diary. I thought that was what the British also thought after seeing some news about the congress building being attacked by terrorists in London. In the last few years, terrorist attacks have also featured in the news in China. I can remember the mood when we saw that news. People became fearful and guarded in the beginning. Some people were guarded and fearful around people from Xinjiang. During that period, they had been wearing rose-tinted glasses. We had become so conditioned to hearing of terrorist attacks overseas, because we often hear about this news. (Not sure if this is what your are trying to say). People will become numb if they often hear something, but they can't appreciate the gravity when their own family is attacked by terrorists. I don't say all people should feel the mood, that is a bad thing for everyone. I just want to say that the news brings significant benefits, but also some disadvantages / problems.Want to progress faster?
