Dear diary,Cher journal,
Today we went to the beach.Aujourd'hui, nous sommes allés à la plage.
I saw a dolphin!J'ai vu un dauphin !
We ate fish and chips.Nous avons mangé du fish and chips.
It was amazing!C'était génial !
In the afternoon, we visited a castle.L'après-midi, nous avons visité un château.

Un journal de vacances (a diary) commence souvent par Dear diary, et raconte la journée au prétérit : verbes réguliers en -ed (visited, played, walked) et irréguliers à apprendre (went, saw, ate, had, swam). Pour organiser le récit : In the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, then, after that. Et pour donner son avis : It was amazing / boring / funny!

Mise en situation : le journal d'Emma

Emma : Dear diary, today was our first day in Cornwall.
