My first diary

Sep 7th, 2016



Today I decided to start keeping a diary. Im not sure when it will end (actually this one could be the last). I hope that it helps my English skills to improve. The thing is how I can know which sentence is correct or not. ( You can know because teachers like me will help you! :) Ok let’s think even just trying like this could be a really big step for improving my English. Actually I’ve known about this way for a really long time ago. But Ive never tried before cuz I knew I would probably  stop this pretty soon. That’s why I’ve never tried. Today I saw a Youtube video saying that keeping a diary will let u know what u want to say in English and u can learn some English phrases for what you want to say easier. I totally agree with this. The reason I know some useful English phrases and words is I really wanted to say them to my boy friend who is spanish. There are some moments where I wanted to express my feelings through Korean cuz I couldn’t find the exact expressions in English. So every time I find  useful expressions that I need to memorize for using them with my bf on the Internet, I write them down in my notebook and try to remember these. It helps me a lot with expressing my opinions or feelings to my bf. Now that I've begun keeping a diary, I want to believe its gonna be more helpful than ways I’ve tried before. Ok.. see u tomorrow my diary…

This was a great first entry, hanata, and I really liked reading it. You made very few errors and seem to have a really strong grasp of English! I hope this one isn't the last. I wish you the best of luck with English- you're doing a wonderful job with it already!

Agreed! There are many steps to planning a lesson but the first and most important one is always to find out what your students are looking for! Do they want a casual conversational lesson? Do they want more formal lessons with reading,writing, homework, etc. Are they learning for business purposes? To communicate better with friends? What is their level? All of these should affect a teacher's lessons so they can adapt them towards their students' needs.

First work day

Hi. Yesterday was my first day at work and I'm very happy because I think it's a good opportunity for my career path and the best thing is that it's close to my house. At my last job my commute was 1 hour more or less but now my commute is only 15 min. That's amazing and  that's why I feel fantastic. My first day I was very lucky because some directors [ I'm not sure director is the right word here. I think managers might be closer to what you're looking for] from other countries were visiting us and they invited us to have lunch at a fancy restaurant and after that we went bowling. To resume [ I also don't think this is the right word to use. I think " in conclusion or " to sum it up" might work best ] I didn't work in my first working day :)

I can tell you've worked hard at your english! There are very few real grammatical errors and it's mainly just nit picking on syntactical stuff. Awesome job Gerardo! Sounds like work went great for you :)

The city by night

I like to travel by bus at night.It's different than mornings and afternoons because in the nights I can enjoy the cold wind from my seat and  I can see the variety of people (because at that time a lot of people go back home after a hard day of work), I like to see people, maybe because I like to imagine stories, so when I look at a specific person I imagine what kind of life he or she has.

I also like to see the streets, the buildings, the houses and even the old bars, because everything changes when night comes. The enviroment changes totally. The city seems like an old and dirty painting and I love it.

This was a wonderful read :) I really enjoyed it. I just got off the bus home from work and night and I know exactly what you mean!
