English Diary: Why Aren't My Skills Improving?
You've probably heard "Practice makes perfect," especially when it comes to writing in English. But many of you diligently write in your English diary every day, only to feel stuck, wondering why your skills aren't getting better.
The problem often isn't the act of writing an English diary itself, but how you're doing it. Today, we'll introduce 3 common mistakes many learners make and how to fix them.
1. Constantly Repeating Incorrect Sentences
Even wrong expressions become habits if repeated.
Many people don't review what they've written in their English diaries. This can lead to incorrect grammar or awkward phrasing becoming ingrained, which can actually be counterproductive.
✅ Solution:
- After writing, get feedback using grammar check tools or proofreading apps.
- Make a separate note of sentences you repeatedly get wrong.
📌 The Reno English Diary app provides real-time sentence correction to help you refine your writing with natural and accurate English expressions.
2. Using the Same Expressions Every Day
Sticking to familiar phrases limits your progress.
Repetitive sentences like "Today I went to work. It was good." are common for beginners in English diary writing, but continuing this way can stagnate your expressive abilities.
✅ Solution:
- Try to include 1-3 new words in your diary each day.
- Experiment with different tenses (past/present/future).
- Practice sentence structures that add details like feelings, reasons, or thoughts.
The Reno app offers diary topic suggestions and hints for new expressions to add variety to your writing.
3. Just 'Writing' Without a Purpose
Writing without a goal slows down improvement.
Writing a diary out of habit can be helpful for 'recording' events, but it might not significantly contribute to improving your English skills.
✅ Solution:
- Set a goal for today's diary. (e.g., "Practice expressing emotions.")
- Once a week, review your diaries to analyze your English patterns.
- Look up unfamiliar expressions immediately and try using them again.
The Reno app helps turn your daily writing into accumulated English proficiency through review and proofreading feedback.
Conclusion: You Do Improve by Writing in English, But…
'Writing correctly' is far more important than just 'writing a lot.' When combined with feedback, diverse expressions, and goal setting, your diary can become the best tool for enhancing your English skills.
