Question

Diary Entry : You have recently returned from a school trip to shimla where you witnessed snowfall for the first time. Describe your experience in the form of a diary entry.

Answer 1

Since diary entries are like chapters in a book, you first have to decide what your book is going to be about. Brainstorm ideas for your diary, like whether you want it to be just about you or about a specific topic. Once you have a theme, then you can begin!

1. Date your entries

Since your diary will be kept over a long period of time, each of your entries should be dated based on when you write them. Penzu’s free diary software does this for you.

2. Pick a topic

Like chapters in a book, you want your diary entry to have some sort of theme or direction. Is it about what you did today? Is it about an upcoming event? An event that already happened? Try and stay focused when writing.

3. Write naturally

Don’t feel like your entries need to impress anywhere. They are just for you, so relax and go for it.

4. Be truthful

The worst person to lie to is yourself, so when writing your entry try and be as honest as you can.

5. Be friendly

When you’re writing, try and write as if you’re writing to a friend. How would you tell a story to your best friend? That is how you should be writing about it in your digital diary.

6. Keep writing

If you feel like you’re at a loss for words, just keep writing through it. Feel free to record your train of thought. Think about why you have hit a wall. What is getting in the way? Think about what you’re writing about and how that could be effecting your entry – and write about that thought process!

7. Re-read your entry

Once you have finished your entry, re-read your entry and maybe list some things you hope to focus on in your next entry. Reflect on what you have just wrote. Maybe some new things will come to mind that you can jot down before you put your diary down.

8. Make it a habit

The more frequently you write entries in your diary, the more you will enjoy doing it and the more you will learn from them. Set a certain time during the day that you want to write in your diary and try to keep to that schedule. The more you practice writing diary entries, the better you will become at it.

Now that you have read these tips, create your online diary with Penzu and start adding entries! Practice makes perfect, so start practicing your writing today!

This school was a boon to me as I was able to enjoy as well as learn something new. I, along with my friends, went on a trip to Shimla for five days and the climate was really snowy. It was the first time that I ever saw snow. I had a lot of fun skiing and playing with the snow. We made snowman and played with snow. We even made balls out of snow and hit each other. It was really fun. We also experienced snow fall for the first time. It was so beautiful and amazing. The climate was very cold and I always wore sweaters and jackets. It was a memorable trip.
