Expressing emotions in writing isn't easy, especially when it's in a language that isn't your native tongue, like English. However, emotional expression is a key element that enriches your English diary. In this article, we share tips on how to naturally improve your English writing skills through various methods and examples for expressing today's mood in English.

Start Your English Diary with Emotions

Many people say, "I don't know what to write about today." The best starting point then is ‘your mood’.

Examples:

  • I felt really calm this morning.
  • Today was frustrating, but I’m proud that I didn’t give up.

Emotions are a topic you can write about anytime during the day, and because they contain personal stories, the writing flows more naturally.

Common Emotional Expressions

Here are some common emotional expressions often found in English diaries:

EmotionEnglish Expression
Joyhappy, joyful, excited, thrilled
Sadnesssad, down, depressed, gloomy
Angerangry, upset, frustrated, annoyed
Nervousnessnervous, anxious, stressed
Satisfactionproud, content, satisfied

You can express them in sentences like these:

  • I’m feeling a bit down today because I didn’t do well on my test.
  • I was so thrilled when I heard the good news.
  • I felt anxious before the presentation, but it went well in the end.

Expand by Combining Emotions + Reasons

Adding reasons to simple emotional expressions creates much richer sentences.

Examples:

  • I was frustrated because I forgot my umbrella and got soaked in the rain.
  • I felt proud after I helped my friend with her homework.

The Reno app helps you write in this way, starting with simple sentences and naturally expanding them, improving your English writing.
