26、The power of keeping a diary From Anne Frank to Samuel Pepys, diaries have given us a window into some of the most important moments in our history. Now, as the world is disturbed by coronavirus, experts are asking more of us to put pen to paper to chronicle（按时间顺序记录）these life-changing times.

Michael Ward, a Senior Lecturer in Social Science for Swansea University, started CoronaDiaries. 164 participants, aged from 11 to 84, submitted entries（作品）of their experiences of the pandemic. Michael says: “Some of the documents have made me cry, especially those from already seriously ill people, but others have made me laugh and have been a jog to read.”

Michael adds that these diaries also address the important changes that COVID-19 continues to create. “They could help people better prepare for future problems. When the pandemic first hit, may historians, and even scientists turned to the diaries kept by people living through the 1918 influenza pandemic. These diaries help them understand how previous generations survived such changes and what challenges might still be to come. ”

As well as capturing the past, the real beauty of a diary is that it recounts（叙述）honestly and openly how we feel at a given moment. It can give the most intimate, lived experience of how the pandemic has affected our lives, our minds and our moods.

All the more reason then to grab a pen, scribble the date and get writing. Dear diary…

Make the most of your diary

Whether you have never kept a diary before or jot your thoughts down every night, here’s some top tips to get the very best out of a diary—writing habit:

Start small

You don’t have to spend hours on a diary. Start with a sentence a day and go from there. Or set a timer and write for just 30 minutes every Sunday summing up the week.

Use your senses

When you’re describing an event or memory, think about what you could see, hear, taste, smell and feel. Including lots of detail will really help you relive the moment

Think off the page

If a conventional written diary doesn’t work for you, pen and paper isn’t the only option. You could record or film yourself talking about your day. Or if you’re online, you could write a diary on a free online blog with the potential to share this with family and friends.

【1】What can we know about CoronaDiaries?

A．It records how people survived the 1918 influenza pandemic.

B．It was started by some seriously ill people who were fighting against COVID﹣19.

C．It mainly attracts young people to submit their stories from the pandemic.

D．The documents from CoronaDiaries include both sad and pleasant stories.

【2】Which of the flowing statements is true about how to write a diary?

A．You need to prepare a pen and paper to start a diary.

B．You should set a topic for what you want to write every day.

C．You should spend a certain period of time every day writing in your diary.

D．It is better for you to describe in more detail the things you have experienced.

【3】The aim of the passage is to .

A．encourage us to keep a diary

B．discuss the importance of diaries

C．teach us different ways to write a diary

D．introduce the benefits of a diary—writing habit

27、   Good evening, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends!

Thank you all for coming on this very special day for every student on this stage. I know how proud you must be. As we have grown over the years, there are many steps and stages we all have gone through.
