Record a day in a few short sentences using a consistent polite style.
The idea
Start with 今日 or a date, then say when and where something happened. Use a polite past verb such as 食べました for a completed action; 楽しかったです and よかったです express past impressions. Join separate sentences in the order you choose.
| Part | Example |
|---|---|
| 時 | 朝 |
| 出来事 | パンを食べました。 |
| 感想 | 楽しかったです。 |
Examples

Watch out
For the past of いい, use よかったです, not いいでした. A private diary may use plain style, but these examples consistently use polite endings.
