建议先通读一遍，再回看题目、开头、过渡和结尾，更容易提炼出可借鉴的写作框架。
This week, I decided to keep a simple journal in English to track my progress. It’s not always easy, but writing a few sentences each day helps me feel more comfortable with the language.
On Monday, I watched a short YouTube video about British slang. I learned words like “chuffed” (happy) and “gutted” (very disappointed). I tried using them in a chat with my friend Tom, but he just laughed and said I sounded like a Londoner from a movie.
Wednesday was grammar day. I reviewed present perfect tense—when to use “have been” vs. “have gone.” My teacher said practice makes perfect, so I wrote five example sentences. One was: “I have never eaten sushi, but I have gone to Japanese restaurants.” It still feels a bit confusing, but I’m getting there.
By Friday, I felt tired. Instead of studying, I listened to an English pop playlist. The lyrics were fast, but humming along made me happy. Sometimes, learning doesn’t have to be all textbooks and exercises.
Saturday morning, I joined an online language exchange. I spoke with a girl from Canada about weekend plans. She said she was hiking in the mountains. My speaking was slow, and I messed up the word “weather” (I said “wether” like a sheep!), but she understood me. We laughed and promised to talk again next week.
Looking back, this week was a mix of small wins and little mistakes. I didn’t learn dozens of new words, but I used English in real conversations. That’s what matters most. Keeping this journal reminds me that every sentence I write is a step forward. I’ll try to add more details next week—maybe describe a movie or a dream in English. For now, I’m just glad I kept going.
