Diary: your life day by day
Most people consider diaries indispensable - a
reminder of what they have to do each day. This is
especially true in the professional world. A diary can help
you keep track of your agenda and make it easier for you
to follow a planned schedule. In this sense, it is similar to
a notebook with dates in which you write meetings and
other things to remember. At school or at work, diaries are
very useful.
However, a diary can be more than a list of
appointments: it can be a secret record of private thoughts.
People write these diaries for different reasons: for fun or
to read them years later. “It makes you think and form an
opinion on what you are writing” - when you express your
feelings and experiences, it’s easier to overcome your
problems; it’s like a therapy.
Nowadays, some people write e-diaries, called blogs or
web logs. “They open their hearts” to other people on the
Net. In fact, many people, famous or ordinary in fiction or
in real life, write diaries.

07) According to the text, we can infer that: A

A is just useful to make a list of our compromises
