Writing a journal is a good way to improve one's English skills. The author, although she did not feel good at writing in English at all, discovered that, once she began keeping a journal in English, she progressively became able to write longer, more accurate, and more detailed sentences. Through keeping a journal she became aware of errors she commonly made, increased her vocabulary, and became used to writing in English. She recommends that all English learners try to keep a journal.
