Diary Entry (Sample)

Question 1. All the news channels are reporting the flood in Bhutan that deteriorated the entire country on 13th August 20XX. Having heard a lot about that misadventure through NEWS channels on TV. Write a diary entry about what you are feeling at that point in time. You are Radhika.

Solution :

13th August, 20XX
8 AM, Tuesday

I have been watching the news about flood in Bhutan since morning. Reportedly, a lot of buildings are damaged and many people have been homeless due to this calamity. My best friend Ram lives there and I hope he is fine there. I have been trying to contact him but unable to do so. I wish he is absolutely safe and praying for others who are still stuck there. It is very difficult time for the people of Bhutan but I am sure, they will overcome all their problems.

Giving rest to my pen,

Radhika

Question 2. It was your first time traveling by a local bus in Delhi. Record the events in your diary which you experienced in about 100-120 words. You are Rashmi.

Solution :

13th August, 20XX
8 AM, Tuesday

The local buses in Delhi are the worst. I had a terrible experience on one of them during my first visit to the capital of the nation. Although it’s a nice place but I don’t like its public transportation. The roads are small and there’s a lot of traffic on the roads. After catching the bus, I realized it was very crowded. At one point, someone almost pushed me off the bus. It was very dangerous. Hope I don’t have to catch a local bus in Delhi again.
