日记是把自己在当天生活中经历的有意义的事以及见闻感受记录下来的书面形式。文体自由，不拘一格。通常用第一人称记写。
英语日记的格式与汉语相同。在正文上方自左起顶格写上日期、星期几和天气情况。正文另起一行，内容应有所选择，记有意义、感受最深的事，切忌流水账。有话则长，无话则短，甚至三言两语亦可。通常采用一般过去时或可灵活运用。日记的写作格式如下：
1）
Sept 23, 1991, Wednesday Cloudy
It is three months since I began this diary…
2）
Friday, May I Fine
Today is May Day…
月份除May, June, July外，其余可用缩写形式。常用来表示天气的词有Fine, Cloudy, Rainy, Windy, Snow等。
【范例】
Oct 3, 1999, Sunday Rainy
It was raining outside when I got up early in the morning. It's too bad, I had to go to school by bus. I said to myself. It was almost seven o'clock before I left home. I put on my raincoat and ran to the bus stop in a hurry, for I thought a lot of people might be waiting there. Hardly had I got there when a bus was coming. I got on the bus immediately, hoping it was possible for me to take a seat. I saw an empty seat and took it. But I found an old lady standing behind me. I stood up at once and was about to ask her to take the seat when a young girl in a modern skirt made a dive for it. I could hardly believe it. I glared at her, thinking“What bad manners! She cares for nobody but herself. Won't she grow old in the future?”
