One Day Without The Internet
Yesterday when I was feeling guilty about wasting too much time on the internet , a bold idea flash into my mind, spend twenty four hours without the internet. It was ten o'clock afternoon yesterday that I had all my electronic devices free from the internet. And then I went to bed. But I failed to fall asleep, just tossed and turned in bed. For I was used to playing my iPhone before bed, it was too cruel for me to sleep straightly. Luckily, I succeeded finally and woke up at eight o'clock. After breakfast, I found that I had nothing to do. Just hanging out in my house aimlessly, I felt I had been imprisoned. I would rather I was killed. Having realized that I was just wasting my time in another way, I calmed down and decided to find something significant to do. So I went to the library to read books. An hour later, I should be absorbed in the book and not want to surf the internet any more. How wonderful it was! From then on, I decided to reduce the time surfing the internet everyday.

Diary
Today I surfed the Internet nearly a whole day!
Staying up late last night, I got up at the half past eight. When I woke up, I found electricity has been cut off. How terrible it was at such a hot day. With nothing to do, I bagan to play on my Iphone after breakfast. I was excited to see wheather there were someone having replied to me, for I wrote the first diary on italki yesterday. What upset me was that I hadn't received any messages from italki. So I continued to wait for several hours more. Nothing happened! I began to suspect wheather italki could help me with Engish. After lunch, I surfed the internet to find how to make full use of italki, and started to find a language partner. However, lots of messages sent to different people, I only received from two. One said she had already had a language partner and refused me, the other one was better. I chatted with her about half hour and felt pretty good even though I typed slowly due to my poor English. Having finished the chat, I was happy to find my yesterday's diary had been corrected. Not only did the correcter point out several mistakes, but also gave me some advice. I was excited.
Would you mind correcting my today's diary and giving some suggestions from diary genres?
I will be very grateful.
