【解析】

试题分析：本文属于教育类短文，主要讲述了写日记对于发展写作技能的作用，同时还提供了写日记的几点建议。

【1】less 考查比较级。根据前半句Compared with other forms of writing和其他写作形式相比。说明本句使用比较级的形式less。而且less与前面的shorter是并列关系，都使用比较级的形式。

【2】to express 考查不定式用法。“特殊疑问词+不定式”在句中可以作为主语、宾语、表语或定语。本句中“how to express ourselves”在句中作为动词learn的宾语。

【3】difficulties 考查名词。横线前有形容词many修饰，说明应该使用名词的复数形式。形容词difficult的名词是difficulty，其复数形式为difficulties。

【4】finding 考查固定句式。句式have trouble (in) doing sth做某事有困难；其中的in可以省略。句意：我们难以找到合适的单词和词组表达我们的观点。

【5】Are考查主谓一致。句型there be是一个全部倒装句 ，be单词的单复数要和主语保持一致。本句中的主语是复数名词many idiomatic ways，所以使用are。

【6】properly 考查副词。在英语中通常使用副词做状语修饰形容词、副词或动词。形容词通常在句中作表语或定语。本句中使用副词properly修饰动词短语put them into English.

【7】concerned 考查固定结构。短语“as far as sb/sth be concerned就某人/某事而言”通常用于发表观点。本句中“as far as I am concerned就我而言”。

【8】that考查表语从句。连接词that引导表语从句，没有如何意义，在从句中不充当任何成分。句意：我的建议是在身边总要带着笔记本和汉英字典。

【9】for 考查固定搭配。短语ask sb for sth向某人要求某物；句意：我们也可以向我们的英语老师求助。

【10】the 考查定冠词。本句中名词development的后面有介词短语of our writing skills修饰，说明该词表示特指，所以在前面加定冠词the修饰。
