If you visit San Francisco, What will attract you most?
A diary is not normally a public document.
Therefore some diary writers write in note form. The language is informal; the writer uses contractions and often leaves out some words. But in exams students need to treat the diary as a public document which is used to evaluate your ability to express yourself correctly in English.
Can you find what’s different from formal diaries?
Try to find out and write down
the words that George has left out.
Rewrite the diary entry for Tuesday inserting all the missing words.
