Hints for writing a brilliant diary:

Write in the past tense and in chronological order. Use pronouns, e.g. I, we, us, we’re, I’m. Use sequential connectives to help the reader understand

the order of events. Add lots of details about the people, places, events and

objects that you’re writing about. Remember to include personal thoughts and feelings

about things that happened. Explain why events happened and your feelings about

them. Use your senses (smell, taste, etc.) in descriptions to help

the reader feel like they were there too.

This may help you!
