【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了通过写日记的方式来锻炼英语写作能力的好处与困难。

【1】“____1____(keep) a diary in English is one of the effective ways to improve our English writing abilities.”动名词作主语，在动词的基础上加Ing使该动词或动词短语，有名词的各种特征，可作名词灵活使用。故填Keeping。

【2】“Compared with other forms of writing, it is shorter and takes___2___(little) time.” 由shorter与and可知，该句表示对比关系，所以应该用比较级，所以横线处应该用形容词的比较级形式。故填less。

【3】“If we keep doing this，____3____(gradual)we'll learn how to express ourselves in English.” Gradually放在句首作副词表示“渐渐地”。故填gradually。

【4】“First, it often happens that we have difficulty____4____(find)proper words and phrases to give expression to our mind.”“have difficulty (in) doing”做某事有困难，故填finding。

【5】“____5____(two), there are so many idioms(成语)in Chinese____6____it is extremely hard for us to put them into English properly.”根据前面的“first”可知本句在阐述第二点，故填Second。

【6】“there are so many idioms(成语)in Chinese____6____it is extremely hard for us to put them into English properly.”“it is extremely hard for us to put them into English properly”为名词性从句，一般由 that引导，that只起连接作用。故填that。

【7】“In my opinion，my____7____(suggest)is that we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach.” 根据“In my opinion”可知作者在给出观点，my为形容词，修饰名词，后接is故为单数形式。故填suggestion。

【8】“Whenever something___8___(beat)us，we can first put it down in our notebook and then refer ____9____ our dictionary.”whenever引导状语从句，从句的时态为一般现在时，前后时态一致。故填beats。

【9】“we can first put it down in our notebook and then refer ____9____ our dictionary.”“refer to”查询，故填to。

【10】“In short，I believe that it is of great use to keep___10___diary in English for the development of our writing skills.”“keep a diary”习惯地记日记（表状态），故填a。
