英語で日記を書いてみよう！

A日記を書くときのポイント

・日記を書くにあたってルールはありません。誰かに見せるものではありませんから、自分が思いついたことを思いついたままに書いてよいです。ひとり言を言っているようなつもりで書くと書きやすいです。

・日記は時系列に沿って、その日に起こったことを順に書いてもよいですし、その日に特に印象に残った出来事を書いてもよいです。その際に、自分がどう感じたかも書き残すのがポイントです。

・日記は、すでに起こったことを振り返って書いているので、時制は原則として過去形です。

B　日記の例

April X, 20XX

I had such a busy day at work today.  First of all, I was late for work due to a train accident.  The train was so crowded that I got really tired.  But luckily, I arrived just in time for a very important meeting.  At the meeting, I had to give a presentation on my new project in front of the management.  I was so nervous.  After my presentation, I got about 30 questions, but I couldn’t answer even half of them.  How embarrassing!  I’ll have to revise my plan and give a presentation again next week.  At lunch time, I went to an Italian restaurant with my colleagues.  We ate spaghetti and talked about our plans for Golden Week.  I had such a relaxing time.  In the afternoon, I had to interview 40 job applicants.  It took about 4 hours.  How exhausting!  But it was pretty interesting to hear so many fresh ideas from them.  After that, I picked my son up at the kindergarten and went home.  I hope tomorrow won’t be as busy as today.
