日記（Diary）
日記是把自己在當(dāng)天生活中經(jīng)歷的有意義的事以及見(jiàn)聞感受記錄下來(lái)的書(shū)面形式。文體自由，不拘一格。通常用第一人稱記寫。
英語(yǔ)日記的格式與漢語(yǔ)相同。在正文上方自左起頂格寫上日期、星期幾和天氣情況。正文另起一行，內(nèi)容應(yīng)有所選擇，記有意義、感受最深的事，切忌流水賬。有話則長(zhǎng)，無(wú)話則短，甚至三言兩語(yǔ)亦可。通常采用一般過(guò)去時(shí)或可靈活運(yùn)用。日記的寫作格式如下：
1）
sept 23, 1991, wednesday cloudy
it is three months since i began this diary…
2）
friday, may i fine
today is may day…
月份除may, june, july外，其余可用縮寫形式。常用來(lái)表示天氣的詞有fine, cloudy, rainy, windy, snow等。
【范例】
oct 3, 1999, sunday rainy
it was raining outside when i got up early in the morning. it's too bad, i had to go to school by bus. i said to myself. it was almost seven o'clock before i left home. i put on my raincoat and ran to the bus stop in a hurry, for i thought a lot of people might be waiting there. hardly had i got there when a bus was coming. i got on the bus immediately, hoping it was possible for me to take a seat. i saw an empty seat and took it. but i found an old lady standing behind me. i stood up at once and was about to ask her to take the seat when a young girl in a modern skirt made a dive for it. i could hardly believe it. i glared at her, thinking“what bad manners! she cares for nobody but herself. won't she grow old in the future?”
【解題要點(diǎn)與技巧】
1）注意日記的格式。應(yīng)用第一人稱來(lái)寫。
2）多數(shù)句子為過(guò)去時(shí)，因?yàn)槭虑榘l(fā)生在過(guò)去。
3）日記必須根據(jù)所給的兩個(gè)提示和十個(gè)詞語(yǔ)來(lái)寫。
4）語(yǔ)言要通順、簡(jiǎn)練，表達(dá)要清楚、準(zhǔn)確。
