yes. i think it can be, because i can set down how i feel every day in my diary, and let other people read it to share my feelings some time later. above all, it feels good to write down my thoughts and feeling on paper when i am sad or lonely.
iv. reading
1. looking and guessing
work in pairs. look at the pictures and the heading and guess what the text might be about.
1). imagine what it might be like if you had to stay in your bedroom for a whole year. you could not leave it even to go to the wc or to get a cup of tea. how would you feel?
2). what would you choose if you are only allowed to have five things with you in the hiding place because there is very little room?
2. reading to summarise the main idea of each paragraph.
skim the text and summarise the main idea of each paragraph in one sentence.
para. one: anne made her diary her best friend whom she could tell everything.
para. two: anne’s diary acted as her true friend during the time she and her family had to hide away for a long time.
para. three: having been kept indoors for so long, anne grew so crazy about everything to do with nature.

closing down by discussion of ideas
work in groups of four. discuss the ideas put forward in the reading passage. it does not matter whether you agree or disagree. what is important is that you should have a reason for what you say. also you can put forward your own ideas, either criticising the text or using it as a support:
★ what would you do if your family were going to be killed just because they did something the emperor did not like?
★ where would you plan to hide?
★ how would you arrange to get food given to you every day?
what would you do to pass the time?
