1week past

I'd like to write a diary every day but often the day goes by when I
hesitate to write.I have a lot of things to write here sometimes but I
forget them when I'm in front of my laptop.

I have spent 1 week already without writing a diary.December is kind
of busy so it's O.K. I'm talking to myself.

By the way I took TOEIC test. The total score is 555.Listening is
260.Reading is 295.Actually I disappointed myself because the score is less
than I expected.....I am going to study English harder that's why.

Thanks for reading.

Hi Masato!

Your English is pretty good. You write well, but you seem to miss the occasional word. I'll help you out:

>I'd like to write a diary every day but the day goes by when I hesitate to write.

You should put an adverb somewhere "but the day goes by", for example: "but occasionally the day goes by" or "but often the day goes by".

>Actually I disappointed because the score is less than I expected.....I am going to study English harder that's why.

You should say "Actually I *am* disappointed" because you are using disappointed as an adjective there and not a verb. To use it as a verb you would say: "I disappointed myself because the score was less".

Good work!

Hi almostaphd!
Thank you for telling!It will be my assets.


>I'd like to write a diary every day but the day goes by when I hesitate to write.

You mean I should put a frequency word.I should have put "often" in this sentence. :)

>I disappointed
I was supposed to write "I disappointed myself" but I forgot to write it because I am not used to writing English.....Also I didn't realize I could write "I was disappointed". So I believe I can write that kind of way since you told me!Thanks!

Actually I was of two minds whether I should use "less" or "fewer".
I heard "less" was sometimes used for both countable words and uncountable words so I used "less",haha.
