Hi can you please check my answers? Joan
I started keeping a diary when I was eight years old, and have done it for almost ten years now. The first few entries were all about my first ever trip abroad- I went to New York with my family and remembered so many new experiences while we were there. These days I try to spend around half an hour on my diary evening, writing about the day. But after I caught my brother trying to read my diary a few years ago, I wrote all sort of horrible things about him.

I’ve just started writing a diary again. I stopped for two years because I had lots of school work and only lately I missed it. I think writing everything down on paper gives you a chance to reflect on your own life, and to become a better person. If I look back at a page I can tell how I was feeling that day- from the size and shape of my hand writing, or from how neat and tidy it looks. And sometimes am totally amazed by the detail of things I’ve written- who I met, who I talked to, what I ate even.

I’ve always got a diary and a pen with me. It means that when there’s something I want to note down, I don’t have to worry about remembering it until later. I’ve always loved reading the diaries of celebrities like actors and singers. And there are two or three blogs that I look at quite regularly, though I’ve never thought about writing one myself. It’s fun because I’m quite happy to read all about someone else’s private life.
