Do you keep a diary(日记)? Do you know keeping a diary is good for children's writing?
The UK charity(慈善机构) National Literacy Trust did a study about children's diary writing.
It studied over 30,000 children aged between 8 and 16. The study found that if a child keeps a diary, he or she may be a better(更好的) writer than(比) others of that age. About 27% of children who keep diaries are better writers than others of that age. Only 15.5% of children who do not keep diaries are better writers than others of that age.
You may ask, "What should I write in a diary?" Jacqueline Wilson has someadvice. Ms. Wilson is a very popular children's writer from the UK. She says, "You can write about people you love, or people you don't like. You can also write about your hopes and great dreams. And if you are really good at sports and watch a lot of games, why not write about them in your diary?"
