Example:

Dear Diary,

Today was officially the worst day ever! I woke up late because my pet parrot decided to have a karaoke party at 3 AM. When I finally got up, I slipped on a banana peel and landed in my cereal! I rushed to school, but my shoelaces tangled in my bike chain, and I flew over the handlebars into a puddle. At lunch, I accidentally spilled spaghetti on my principal, who was wearing a white suit! The day ended with a surprise pop quiz that I totally failed. I can’t wait for tomorrow!

The day that everything went wrong.

Now you try! 

• Write a diary entry about "The day that everything went wrong" using the Past Simple
• Between 80-100 words
•  It doesn't need to be true, you can invent crazy things! Use your imagination!
• Keep it respectful
• You have 15 minutes

Did we reach our goal?

I can write a short paragraph about my day using the Past Simple tense.

Thank you!
