日記是人們對(duì)日常生活的記錄，即用來(lái)記述自己一天生活的所見(jiàn)、所聞、所問(wèn)、所思、所感。英語(yǔ)日記格式通常由兩部分構(gòu)成，即書(shū)端和正文。下面就是英文日記格式各部分的書(shū)寫(xiě)格式示意圖：
Date(日期) Weather(天氣)
Title(標(biāo)題)
The body of the diary(日記正文)
那么，小學(xué)生寫(xiě)英語(yǔ)日記還應(yīng)注意哪些問(wèn)題呢?
1. 注意日期、星期和天氣的書(shū)寫(xiě)位置。
日期和星期要寫(xiě)在正文的左上角，其順序多是“星期 + 月、日、年”，也有把星期放在后面的，如“ 2014 年 11 月 22 日，星期一”可寫(xiě)為“ Monday November 22， 2014或 November 22， 2014 Monday ”。天氣情況應(yīng)寫(xiě)在正文的右上角，如： Fine， Rainy， Cloudy， Windy 等。
2. 關(guān)于標(biāo)題的書(shū)寫(xiě)。
在日期和天氣的下一行中間可以寫(xiě)上日記小標(biāo)題，也可以不寫(xiě)標(biāo)題。
3. 關(guān)于正文的書(shū)寫(xiě)。
正文是關(guān)于一天生活的記載，也是日記的主題。在書(shū)寫(xiě)正文時(shí)要做到： 1 )要選擇當(dāng)天感受最深刻、最有意義的事件來(lái)描述，不要寫(xiě)成簡(jiǎn)單的流水帳; 2 )日記的內(nèi)容多是親身經(jīng)歷和耳聞目睹的事情，所以要用第一人稱(chēng)來(lái)寫(xiě); 3 )日記多是在當(dāng)天晚上來(lái)記述當(dāng)天發(fā)生過(guò)的事情，因?yàn)閯?dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)常使用過(guò)去時(shí)，但使用時(shí)必須靈活掌握，如景物描寫(xiě)、議論某事、對(duì)話引語(yǔ)等要使用現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài); 4 )日記應(yīng)以時(shí)間發(fā)生的先后順序來(lái)展開(kāi)，并且要簡(jiǎn)明扼要，條理清楚，寫(xiě)出真實(shí)感。

Going on a Picnic
Today was Sunday. The weather was fine and warm. The sky was very clear and blue. My classmates and I were very happy， because we went out for a picnic at Nanshan Hill. We went to Nanshan Hill by bike with fruits， eggs， meat， vegetables， knives and some other things.
About one and a half hours later， we came to a nice place at the foot of the hill. There were many beautiful flowers and green trees. Birds sang their sweet songs. How pleased we were! Then we were busy with the picnic. Some of us were getting water， some were cutting the meat and vegetables and cook， others were sitting on the grass and waiting for nice lunch. At about 13 o"clock， our lunch was ready. We all sat around on the green grass， singing， talking， eating and drinking. At about 16：00 we began packing for our return.
What a nice time we were having!
