HOW TO WRITE
A DIARY ENTRY
1. Put yourself in the character’s shoes.
L’auteur du journal est le
personnage principal qui :
-décrit des personnes de son
entourage proche ou intime, les circonstances de sa vie et ses
actions ;
-livre ses pensées ;
-dévoile ses émotions.
2. What are you going to write about ?
Le sujet principal est dans le texte ou
le sujet. Vous devez le développer dans le journal.
Vous pouvez commencer avec une
courte description du début de la journée, et finir avec la
fin de la journée.
Vous devrez écrire sur les
personnages présents ou mentionnés dans le texte. Il se peut que
vous ayez à développer la
personnalité d’un personnage. C’est de la fiction après tout !
3. Grammar tools.
Laissez les temps vous guider : passé,
ensuite présent, ensuite futur.
Vous devez écrire sur des
actions passées, donc vous utiliserez le prétérit simple.
(vous pouvez aussi essayer
d’écrire au présent pour ajouter une touche d’originalité)
Un journal est une façon utile
de faire le bilan donc vous pouvez avoir besoin d’utiliser le
‘present perfect’.
Vous aurez aussi besoin du
présent simple pour exprimer des sentiments.
4. Make it look like a real diary !
- Narrateur:
‘1st person narrative’
- Le journal en
tant que personnage : il peut parfois avoir un nom et être traité comme une
personne par son auteur, comme un confident. C’est
une technique utile, qui vous permet
de vous adresser à un personnage fictif
comme dans une lettre : ‘Dear Diary…’
- L’entrée doit
se concentrer sur une journée particulière.
- Exprimez des
opinions et des émotions. Utilisez les modaux (‘I should’), des adjectifs
et
des adverbes (« quietly »,
« kindly », « joyfully », « impatiently »,
« curiously », etc ).
-Utiliser des ‘Gap fillers’
tels que « You see… », « You know… », « Well,
er… »,
« Actually (à direvrai)…, etc.
- Construisez
des paragraphes avec une idée dans chaque: il doit être facile à lire.
- Rendez-le
plus animé en utilisant quelques (mais pas trop) questions et exclamations
(‘How+adj. !’).
- Le discours
rapporté : l’auteur écrira sûrement sur ce qui a été dit par d’autres
personnages.
Mais n’écrivez pas tout le
texte au discours rapporté !
- Style : Vous
pouvez utiliser des contractions, des phrases sans sujet (‘Never thought
she’d
be so angry’) et parfois sans verbe (‘Dinner
with Tom’).

L.1 My
story began about seven years ago, in 1875. My name is Jonathan Harker, and I
live and work in London.
My job is to buy and sell houses for other people. One day a letter arrived for
me from a very rich man who lived in Transylvania.
He wanted to buy a house in England
and he needed my help. The man was Count Dracula, and I agreed to help him.
L.6 I found a house for him, and he asked me to
take all the papers to Transylvania. I did not know then of the terrible danger
waiting for me in Transylvania.
L.9 On May 4th, I arrived at a little
town called Bistritz. Transylvania was a
strange and beautiful country. There were mountains, trees and rivers
everywhere. And somewhere high in the mountains was the Count’s home, Castle
Dracula. I had six hours to wait before the coach came to take me there, so I
went into a little hotel. Inside the hotel, it was warm and friendly. The
people there were all laughing and talking.
L.15 “Where are you going?” they asked me.
“To
Castle Dracula,” I replied.
L.17
Suddenly the room was silent and everyone turned to look at me. I could not
understand why they all looked afraid.
“Don’t
go there,” someone said.
“But I
have to,” I answered. “It’s business.”
L.21 Slowly the hotel keeper’s wife took the gold
cross from her neck and put it into my hand.
“Take
this to protect yourself,” she said. “There is danger at Castle Dracula.
Perhaps this will help you.”
