Diary in English ♡ On the 7th of Nov.
It was freezing and raining today. I don't want to go out such a day. I studied at school as usual. I learnt "used to, be used to, get used to" in the grammar part.
e.g.
I used to got up at 6 when I worked in Japan.
I'm getting used to using pounds.
It's difficult for me to get used to listening English.
I'm used to drinking tea instead of coffee.
I'll never used to wearing a half sleeve shirt in such a cold day.
On the way to home, I dropped in a supermarket and bought two packages of rice. I missed rice because I usually eat pasta for lunch. I'll try to cook a fried rice tomorrow!

It was freezing cold and raining today. I didn’t want to go out on a day like this. I studied at school, as usual. I learnt "used to”, “be used to” and “get used to" in the grammar part of the lesson.

1‘Learnt’ is used in British English. ‘Learned’ is used in both British and American English. Other examples are: burnt/burned, spelt/spelled, spoilt/spoiled.
2 ‘I used to got up’, the form is used + infinitive when talking about something that you did regularly in the past but don’t do anymore.
I used to go out every Friday night before I got married.
3 ‘I’ll never used to wearing’, the form is get used to ….-ing.
I’ll get used to driving on the left. It'll just take a bit of time.
4 ‘Short-sleeved’ the hyphen helps clarify that it is the sleeves that are short not the shirt. ‘Sleeved’ is more common in Britain and ‘sleeve’ in the U.S.
5 In + day implies a period of time. I can write a 5000-word essay in a day!
6 ‘drop in’, with reference to a supermarket, may be used more in the U.S. I use ‘pop into’ or ‘stop off at’. ‘Stop off at’ can be used when you are going from one place (A) to another (C) but stop somewhere (B) on the way. You stop off at B.
Leave A ------stop off at B-----à arrive at C
Package, with regards to food, is American English. Packet is used in British English for smaller items e.g. a packet of crisps, a packet of biscuits. A larger size would be a bag of... So, a bag of rice or a bag of sugar.

NOTES:
1) In English, the word "rice" is plural. So, we usually say "some rice" and never say "a rice".
2) 半袖 is usually said as "short sleeve" or "short sleeved".
3) Depending on who you are speaking to, it is probably better to say "British pounds" to be clear that you are speaking about the currency. Here in the United States, the word "pound" is a unit of weight, like a gram, kilogram or similar.
I hope this helps. :)
