She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry exam. __【小题2】__ Then, after I finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was worried that my sister might read it!
Because a blog is such a public way of writing, it has both good and bad points. __【小题3】__ If I am angry with a friend during school and write something bad about her in my diary, she will never know.
