Keeping a diary in English is the effective way to improve our English writing ability.
First, it takes little time to finish a diary than other writings.By keeping English diaries, we can easy form the habit of thinking about in English.

After that there was no turning back.A five-year-old girl, wearing a dress several sizes large and broken shoes, followed Barrett around, mesmerized(着迷).He couldn’t stop .Later he said , “I wish I could speak French.” I was — this from a boy who hated and French classes throughout school.

Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance.But in fact, a lot of guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror.They care just as much as girls do about their body image.
Body image is a person’s opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance. 1. You appreciate your body for its capabilities and accept its imperfections.
2. Here are some ideas.
Recognize your strengths.Different body types are good for different things.What does your body do well? Maybe your speed, strength, or coordination(协调) makes you better than others at a certain sport.That may be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing or even running.Or perhaps you have non-sports skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing, or acting. 3.
Exercise regularly.Exercise can help you look good and feel good about yourself.Good figures don’t just happen. 4. A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to 1 hour three days a week.Working out can also lift your spirits.
Respect your body.Practicing good habits-regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin; wearing clean clothes, and so on-can help you build a positive body image.
5. Your body is just one part of who you are.Your talent for comedy, a quick wit, and all the other things make you unique.So try not to let small imperfections take over.
A.Be yourself.
B.Just explore talents that you feel good about.
C.What can you do to develop a positive body image?
D.Use this as an opportunity to discover what you are good at.
E.They take hard work, regular workouts and a healthy diet.
F.The good news is that self-image and body image can be changed.
G.Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you look.
In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老)treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news.However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.
Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations.Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing.As we walked light-heartedly out the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh boy, bad day for a picnic.The weatherman says it’s going to rain.” I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches.Not for his stupid weather report, for his smile!
Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus.As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile, “Oh that bus left five minutes ago.” Dreams of head-cutting !
It’s not the news that makes someone angry.It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered.Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude.A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way.A boss informing an employee he didn’t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone.Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.
Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this.When you’re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.
Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warming. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, ” Oh, that’s all right.I’ll catch the next one.” Big winners, when they bear bad news ,deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轰炸的)person is sure to have.
