December 7th Writing

Original
Diary

I have been writing diary for sixteen years. In fact, when I was in primary school, I has already wrote my first diary, but it was just a homework from school. I started own diary from my study abroad in Japan. I went to Japan for study alone when I was 23 years old. I had a lot of first times in this year. It was the first time I left my country to overseas, and it was the first time I was living alone. This meant that nobody can help me and I have to face to any problems by myself and must learn how to solve them. But I lived in a new country and everything was fresh for me . I tried to write down these fresh things and problems to record in my memory, because I was very forgetful.

Plan: Jim needs to write half his story or article at home and finish telling the rest of the story in class. He takes a little too much time to make sentences. Needs to gain more confidence and “spit words out”.
