It is recommended that one of the effective ways to make your English writing skills improved should be keeping a diary.
   (compare) with other form of writing， it takes       (little) time as well as being shorter. It is      (general) recognized that you will get to learn how to express yourself in English if you insist on practising. Apparently you may meet with      good many difficulties at times. The trouble is        you can not find appropriate words and phrases to give expression to your mind. In addition, there are lots of idiomatic ways of Chinese appearing in your diary.
  my point of view, a piece of good advice is that there should be no  way more suitable than keeping a notebook and an English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something      (beat) you, put     down and then consult the dictionary. Certainly you can get help from your English teacher if necessary. I’m sure it is of great use to keep a diary in English for the   (improve) of writing abilities.
