Diary entry

Saturday, 12th July

Dear Diary,

Today I had the scare of my life. I was walking along the shore of Loch Ness, taking photos of the sunset, when the water suddenly went quiet. About twenty metres away, a long, dark neck rose out of the lake. I saw a huge head with two small eyes and wet, grey skin. It looked straight at me. My heart was pounding and I could not move; I felt terrified but also excited. After a few seconds, the creature dived under the water and disappeared. I ran to the nearest café and told everyone, but they just smiled. I know what I saw, and I will never forget it.

Почему это подходит

• Where & what doing: I was walking along the shore… taking photos.
• Exactly what saw: a long, dark neck… a huge head with two small eyes… wet, grey skin.
• How felt: my heart was pounding… terrified but also excited.
• What happened next: the creature dived… I ran to the café… nobody believed me.

Как писать похожее задание

1. Начни с даты и обращения Dear Diary, — это дневник, поэтому тон неформальный.
2. Сначала дай фон: Past Continuous (I was walking…), затем неожиданное событие: Past Simple (the water went quiet, the creature rose).
3. Описывай не просто «страшного монстра», а конкретные детали: размер, цвет, часть тела, движение.
4. Чувства показывай через реакцию: my heart was pounding, I couldn’t move, my hands shook.
5. Для 5 минут достаточно 90–120 слов. Проверь, что все четыре пункта из задания есть.
