order.
Start with events that happened
early in the day, and end with
events that took place in the
evening.

Write in the first person
• Use pronouns such as I, We, Us,
We´re, I´m.
• This will make you feel part of the
story!

Detailed description
• Give detailed information about
places, objects, people and events.
• Avoid describing what is not needed!
Your diary has to include your
personal touch, so you are not going
to write about something you are not
interested in.

Familiar events
• Talking about events that
involved you, or your familiar, or
close friends.
• Avoid talking about strangers, and
events you were not involved in.

Explain why…
• If you are sad, remember to explain
why (Don´t write just “I´m sad
today…”)
• If you are happy, tell your diary
why you are happy!

And last but not least…
• Don´t be afraid to write about your
feelings and emotions. Áfter all, it
´s a personal diary and you share
everything with it!
