Diary Entry

Diary Entry

1.0Introduction

A diary entry is a form of writing in which a person records an account of the day. We write about important and significant events of our lives. As a diary entry is a record of our personal feelings it is considered to be a personal document. It is a record of events, and observations in a highly personalized manner. It is wrapped around creative thoughts and is basically the outpouring of what one feels or has experienced. A diary entry can be written on a daily basis or at intervals, depending on the inclination of the writer.

2.0Value Points for Writing a Diary Entry

  • A diary entry is personalized so it is usually written in the first person.
  • Stress on feelings, emotions, reactions rather than on the event itself.
  • Day and date are mentioned on the left-hand side.
  • Time can also be written on the right-hand side.
  • The writer's name should be written at the end, on the left-hand side.
  • The subject matter described should seem to be natural.
  • It should look as if the writer is a part of the situation.
  • It shouldn't sound fake or pretending.

3.0Format of A Diary Entry

Example

1. You are going to participate in an Extempore Competition. Whole night you sit up preparing an various topics. You are shaken awake by a bad dream. Write about this experience in 150 words for the diary.

Ans.

Sunday, 10 January, 20×× 5 a.m. Dear Diary Gosh! What a dream! I'm still sweating. What a strange grip dreams have on people like me. And who says they are far from reality? I hope nothing happens, the way everything happened in my dream. I am on my way to school as usual. Surprisingly, the roads are absolutely deserted. No honking, no jostling, no traffic. I manage to reach the school and the guard smiles at me mysteriously. I run to my classroom and I find that there are bags, but no children. When I peep out of the window, I see the morning assembly is in progress. Surprisingly, I can't hear the prayer or the school band. I wonder, why? After sometime, I approach my House teacher, Mrs Was an. Thankfully, her face lights up the moment, she sees me. "Arun, I hope you are well-prepared!" I nod in the affirmative. Arun
