§課文原文 Passage
1Friday, 20 June - Rainy. The sky was grey and the streets were wet. Dear Diary, it rained heavily this morning. I forgot my umbrella, so my friend Ken shared his with me. We walked to school together under one umbrella and jumped over the puddles.
2In the classroom, we watched a video about typhoons in our General Studies lesson. I learned that typhoons can be very strong, and we should stay inside during a storm. After school, the rain stopped and a rainbow appeared in the sky. Everyone ran outside to see it.
3At home, Mum made hot chocolate for me and my brother. I finished my maths homework before dinner, and then I wrote this diary entry. My teacher says a good diary has a capital letter and a full stop in every sentence. I checked my spelling twice tonight. Today I learned that a good friend is like an umbrella in the rain. I will share my umbrella with others too. Good night, dear diary.

3逐步講解 Steps
- 開頭：日期加天氣舉個例子：日記第一行寫 Friday, 20 June - Rainy.，一行包含星期、日期與天氣。這行是日記的標準格式，星期與月份第一個字母要大寫，日期用數字；天氣詞用 Rainy、Sunny、Cloudy 等。寫下天氣是為了日後重溫時能回想當天情景，這是英文日記與中文日記共同的傳統，也是老師批改時第一眼看的格式。
- 稱呼 Dear Diary舉個例子：Dear Diary, 日記其實是寫給自己的一封信，收信人就是自己，所以用 Dear Diary 開頭，後面加逗號。這個稱呼令日記有傾訴的對象，寫起來更自然親切；逗號不能漏，因為它標示稱呼結束、正文開始。下一行便寫正文，格式與信件相同，只是永遠不用寫收信人的名字與地址。
- 用過去式寫今日事舉個例子：It rained heavily this morning. I forgot my umbrella. 日記記錄當天已發生的事，所以正文主要用過去式：rained、forgot 都已經發生，不能寫 It rains 或 I forget。易錯位是寫到一半忘了轉時式，前句過去式後句又回到現在式；寫每句前先問：這件事發生了沒有？發生了就用過去式。
- 按時間排次序舉個例子：this morning 在學校、after school 在操場、at home 做功課，一件一件按時間寫下去，一天便記得有條有理。時間短語放句首或句尾都可以，但最好每件事都帶一個，讀的人才知道事情發生在何時；次序錯亂是日記常見問題，動筆前先在腦中把當天的事按時間排一遍。
- 寫感受與學到的東西舉個例子：Today I learned that a good friend is like an umbrella in the rain. 日記不只是流水帳，最重要的是寫下感受與領悟：今天開心還是難過？學會了什麼道理？放在日記後半部，一兩句就夠；用比喻會令日記更動人，例如把好朋友比作雨傘。多年後重讀，這些感受才是最珍貴的部分。
- 結尾加晚安舉個例子：Good night, dear diary. 日記以一句道別收結，就像睡前與老朋友說晚安，格式完整又有溫度。寫完正文與感受後，另起一行寫這句晚安語；最後照例檢查一遍：日期天氣、Dear Diary、過去式、時間順序、感受、晚安，六個部分齊全，這篇日記便合格了。
5例題示範 Example
問題：怎樣寫一篇五句而格式完整的簡單日記？
- 第一步：寫日期與天氣：Saturday, 21 June - Sunny，一行交代日子與天氣。
- 第二步：稱呼 Dear Diary，然後寫第一句總起：Today was a busy day.
- 第三步：用過去式寫細節：I had six lessons and played basketball after school.，兩件事都已發生。
- 第四步：寫晚上的事：I did my homework at night.，按時間繼續推進。
- 第五步：以感受收結：I am tired but happy.，說出當天此刻的心情。
- 答案：示範答案：Today was a busy day. I had six lessons. I played basketball after school. I did my homework at night. I am tired but happy.——前四句記已發生的事用過去式，最後一句說此刻感受，用 am 是正確的。
