Hi, can you please check my answers? Joan
I started keeping a diary when I was eight years old, and have done it for almost ten years now. The first few entries were all about my first ever trip abroad- I went to New York with my family and remembered so many new experiences while we were there. These days I try to spend around half an hour on my diary evening, writing about the day. But after I caught my brother trying to read my diary a few years ago, I wrote all sort of horrible things about him.

I’ve just started writing a diary again. I stopped for two years because I had lots of school work and only lately I missed it. I think writing everything down on paper gives you a chance to reflect on your own life, and to become a better person. If I look back at a page I can tell how I was feeling that day- from the size and shape of my hand writing, or from how neat and tidy it looks. And sometimes am totally amazed by the detail of things I’ve written- who I met, who I talked to, what I ate even.

I’ve always got a diary and a pen with me. It means that when there’s something I want to note down, I don’t have to worry about remembering it until later. I’ve always loved reading the diaries of celebrities like actors and singers. And there are two or three blogs that I look at quite regularly, though I’ve never thought about writing one myself. It’s fun because I’m quite happy to read all about someone else’s private life.

final draft

we know that when we laugh we feel better; when something is making us laugh it means we thought it was funny at some point, even if it was not meant that way. what we know is that it made us feel good. that is something we all can realize easily, but is it a chemical explanation for it to happen? of course there

according to joe bluett, laughter has a way of instantly connecting people and is one of the most basic and fundamental ways in which we communicate as human beings. also, he says that laughter can increase confidence, self-esteem, creativity, positivity and resilience, bringing positive changes to all aspects of our lives.
