(keep) a diary in English is one of the effective ways to improve our English writing abilities.
Compared with other forms of writing, it is shorter and takes(little) time. It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English. If we keep doing this， (gradual)we'll learn how to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English，we will certainly meet many difficulties. First, it often happens that we have difficulty(find)proper words and phrases to give expression to our mind. (two), there are so many idioms(成語)in Chineseit is extremely hard for us to put them into English properly.
In my opinion，my(suggest)is that we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something(beat)us，we can first put it down in our notebook and then refer our dictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher for help，if necessary. In short，I believe that it is of great use to keepdiary in English for the development of our writing skills.

Great Britain consists of four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. On the 13th century Wales was linked to England. In 1603, they were joined to Scotland. They were united in peace instead of by war. Furthermore, just as they were going to get Ireland connecting to form United Kingdom, the southern part of Ireland was broke away, so only Northern Ireland joined with England.

Food safety is a problem in all places around the world and people in different areas of the world prepare foods in different ways. The WHO released five simple rules for preparing food in a safe way.
Key 1: Keep clean.
The first key tells about the importance of washing. People should wash their hands often—before touching food, while they are preparing food, and any time after they go to the toilet. People should wash all surfaces and equipment used for preparing food.
Key 2:
People should separate raw, or uncooked food from foods that are already cooked and foods that will not be cooked. People should store raw meat, chicken, and fish in containers, or in separate areas. Raw foods should not touch prepared foods.
Key 3: Cook completely.
People should cook eggs and meat, like birds, seafood, and animals, especially carefully. These foods may carry more micro-organisms than other foods. Food like soup must be boiled for at least a minute to make it be cooked completely. It is also important that people re-heat cooked food completely.
Key 4: Keep food at safe temperatures.
When people are finished with eating, they should keep the left food in a refrigerator below 5℃ and shouldn't store it for too long. At room temperature, about 20℃, the amount of micro-organisms can increase very quickly.They cannot grow as quickly in a very hot or very cold environment.
Key 5: Use safe water and raw materials.
Damaged or old food may develop harmful chemicals as it gets older.

B. They call these rules the “Five Keys to Safer Food.”
C. Separate raw and cooked.

E. Keeping everything clean helps people to avoid micro-organisms.
F. People should also protect cooking areas and food from insects and animals.
G. But temperatures above 60℃ or below 5℃ control the growth of micro-organisms.

Mattie celebrated her 6th birthday earlier this month. For her birthday, she wanted to do something for other children.
“We (talk) about Mattie's birthday cake when she said that she wanted a big one so no one was hungry at her party,” her mother said. “She didn't want anyone to be hungry and she got big tears in her eyes and asked if we could donate food people.”
For her party, Mattie's friends arrived (quick) with gifts, but the packages weren't filled with toys, instead (can) and boxes of food. Once her party was over, Mattie, with some help, took donations of food to the Maryville Ministry Center.
Mattie was not the only local child recently did so. Her best friend Eliana celebrated her 5th birthday in February and decided that she wanted to give back as well.
Mattie and Eliana are still children, though, and enjoy (play) with their dolls and stuffed animals just like every other kid does.
“For being so young, it's a blessing (have) kids that are living for something more than themselves,” Wall said. “I'm pretty (hope) that it will continue over time and it's amazing to see (we) kids doing things for others.”

Though this would seem to be a wonderful solution,there are two big problems about taking pictures.Firstly, we're likely to be so busy taking the pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest inspire us to take a photograph in the first place.And secondly,because we feel the pictures are safely stored in our phones,we never get around to look at them.

These problems would seem to be very much of today,a consequence of the tiny phones in our pockets.But they were noticed right at the beginning of the history of photography,when the average camera was the size of a grandfather clock.The first person who noticed them was the English art critic,John Ruskin.He was a travelling lover who realized that most tourists failed to notice or remember the beautiful things they saw.

He argued that humans have a born tendency（傾向）to respond to beauty and desire to keep it,but that there are bad expressions of this desire.At worst,we get into buying souvenirs or taking photographs.But,in Ruskin's eyes, there's one thing we should do and that is attempting to draw the interesting things we see,and it doesn't matter whether we happen to have any talent for doing so.

Before the invention of photography,people used to draw far more than they do today.It was an active necessity. But in the mid-19th century,photography killed drawing.It became something only "artists" would ever do,so Ruskin spent four years on a campaign to get people drawing again.

So if drawing had value even when it was practiced by people with no talent,it was for Ruskin because drawing can teach us to notice properly rather than watch absent-mindedly（心不在焉地）.When describing what lies before our eyes with our own hands,we naturally move from a position of observing beauty in a loose way to one where we acquire a deep understanding of its parts.

It's the story in Alaska that I'll remember best,though.It was the story about the loss of wild land,during which my wife Kathy got cancer.That's the one that made time stand still.With anxiety,I stopped taking pictures on the day when she found that tumor（腫瘤）.Cruelly,it was Thanksgiving Day.Early examination saves time.But ours was not early.By the time you can feel it yourself,it's often bigger than the doctor wants it to be.

Cancer is a thief.It steals time.Our days are already short with worry.Then comes this terrible disease,unfair as storm at harvest time.But cancer also has the power to change us,for good.We learn to simplify it,enjoying what we have instead of feeling sorry for what we don't.Cancer even makes me a better father.My work has made me a stranger to my three kids.But now I pay attention to what really matters.This is not a race.This is a new way of life and a new way of seeing,all from the cancer.

In the end each of us has so little time.We have less of it than we can possibly imagine.And even though it turns out that Kathy's cancer has not spread,and her prognosis（預斷）is good.We try to make it all count now,enjoying every part of every day.

I've picked up my camera again.I watch the sky,searching for beautiful light.When winter storms come,Kathy and I gather our children and take the time to catch snowflakes（雪花）on our tongues.After all,this is good.This is what we're living for.
