Hi Kevin and all interested in this thread, So where's your diary? I've been looking forward to reading them since my absence...
It's a brilliant idea,Kevin,and you haven't been out of your line at all! That was how I improved my English when I was in high school keeping a diary in English. It's about how you feel at that specific day. It doesn't have to be long at all. I know at least Pablo,Anu,Josney,Briana,Claire and I will take turns correcting yours if needed.;) Who'd like to be the brave one to start this MY DIARY thread? Nice weekend,everyone! It's a strange day that 2 American celebrities died on the same day...Such intensive coverage of Michael Jackson's death!
