# Diary ??
This is the last note for Diary of a Wimpy Kid 1. I have uploaded 17 notes for it and spent over two hours every day to learn it.
Before I made the detailed and specific note for it, I have listened the audible file in two hours to grasp the outline of the story. At first, I thought it easy for me to finish the note within 40 minutes, since I only need to read 10 pages each day. The truth is that I can't totally explain the specific meaning of every sentence although I can understand it in general. There are many informal and AmE expressions, which are used mainly in the United States and in spoken English. It is reasonable to use those words cause it was written by a child.
I am not able to remember them totally after a month-study. Because I did not review them and recite them day after day. But at least I have did it in a month and found my problem in studying English. Therefore I have joined the Diary of a Wimpy kid 2 and hoped to get more improvements next month.?
Hello, July. ??
