Dear Diary,
Today was a strange day. I looked out the window this afternoon and knew a big storm was
coming. The sky was dark. A thin, yellow line stretched across the horizon. The air felt sticky
and thick.
Suddenly, I heard a loud knocking on the ceiling and the windows. Tiny, icy chunks of hail
were falling from the stormy sky. When I looked out the window, I saw the hail bounce off the
top of a red car, a city bus, and a large umbrella.
A minute later, the lights went out. Mom put new batteries in our flashlights, and she found
some old candles in the junk drawer. We made turkey sandwiches and had a candlelit dinner.
The lights came back on just in time for bed. The heavy rain had stopped, and I fell asleep to the
quiet pitter-patter of raindrops on the roof of our building

Here is my example (Do not copy)
I remember a time when I was caught in a snowstorm. It was a few years ago, during the winter
season. I was walking home from work, and it started to snow heavily. The snowflakes were big
and fluffy, but they quickly turned into a blizzard. The wind was so strong that it was hard to
walk, and I could barely see in front of me. I was freezing cold, and my clothes were soaked
through. I had to stop and take shelter under a tree until the storm passed. It was a scary
experience, but it also made me appreciate how powerful nature can be.
