日記的格式
英文日記通常由書(shū)端和正文兩個(gè)部分組成。日記常以第一人稱(chēng)記下當天生活中的所見(jiàn)、所聞、所做或所想的事情。中、英文的日記三格式大致一樣。英語(yǔ)日記的書(shū)端是專(zhuān)門(mén)寫(xiě)日記的日期、星期和天氣的。左上角是日期(年、月、日)、星期。右上角寫(xiě)上當天的天氣情況，如：sunny, fine, rainy, windy, snowy, cloudy等。
1、日期表達有多種形式。年、月、日都寫(xiě)時(shí)，通常以月、日、年為順序，月份可以縮寫(xiě)，日和年用逗號隔開(kāi)。例如： december 18, XX 或者 dec. 18, XX
a) september 1, XX或september 1st, XX也可省略寫(xiě)成sept. 1, XX或sept. 1st, XX;b)the 1st of september in XX(月份不可以縮寫(xiě))
b)只有月、日
september 1或september 1st(月份可以縮寫(xiě))
c)只有年、月
september XX或the september of XX(月份不可以縮寫(xiě))
以上的1或1st都應讀作the first。
2.星期也可以省略不寫(xiě)，可將其放在日期前或后，星期和日期之間不用標點(diǎn)，但要空一格，星期也可縮寫(xiě)。如：
saturday, october 22nd, XX;october 22nd, XX saturday
3.天氣情況必不可少。天氣一般用一個(gè)形容詞如 :sunny, fine, rainy, snowy 等表示。寫(xiě)在日期之后，用逗號隔開(kāi)，位于日記的右上角。如：
saturday, march 4, XX, windy;1st january, XX, fine
日記的要求
日記的正文是日記的主要部分，寫(xiě)在星期和日期的正下方，可以頂格寫(xiě)，也可以?xún)瓤s3至5個(gè)字母的空間。由于記載的內容通常已經(jīng)發(fā)生，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞多用一般過(guò)去時(shí)。但也可根據具體情況，用其它時(shí)態(tài)。如：記敘天氣、描寫(xiě)景色，為了描寫(xiě)生動(dòng)，可以使用現在時(shí)，以表現當時(shí)的情景。再如文后發(fā)表感想或評論可用現在時(shí)態(tài)或將來(lái)時(shí)態(tài)。記日記力求簡(jiǎn)單明了，有連貫性。若有文字
提示，則應重視
提示，把握要點(diǎn)。在句式上盡量使用簡(jiǎn)單句，以防繁雜，造成語(yǔ)法、句型錯誤。
日記的類(lèi)型和訓練
日記分為記事型、議論型、描寫(xiě)型和抒情型。建議大家在學(xué)習寫(xiě)日記的過(guò)程中，可按以下步驟進(jìn)行：
�、賹⒁惶焖�(jīng)歷的主要事情和過(guò)程依次簡(jiǎn)要地記下來(lái)，不附加任何感情色彩，這是最簡(jiǎn)單的記日記的方法;
�、陂喿x別人的日記，并利用所學(xué)過(guò)的句型來(lái)表達個(gè)人在一天中觀(guān)察到的或感受到的事情。

I am free now as I am spending my winter holiday.
Although we have some homework, we can finish them in several days. And the rest time we can make good use of. My god! We have been very tired after hard studying. In winter holidays, I want to have full sleep and eat good food in order to replenish myself. Last but not the least, I will have a good rest.
I have rested for a week. I began to feel bored. So I went out with my friends. They are my best friends in the middle school. We didn’t go to someplace special. We just saw the other. We had lunch together. While we were having lunch, we were still talking about the new school and new friends. Yes! A year later, we have grown riper. And we learned much more things and got new life. We haven’t enough time to play, to waste and to lose the way. We only have two years. Two years to go, we will get the real life which belongs to us.
