One day, many years ago, when I was working as a psychologist in England, I brought David into my office. His face was pale and he looked at his own feet.
David lost his father when he was two years old and lived with his mother and grandfather ever since. But when he was 13, his grandfather died and his mother was killed in a car accident. His teacher told me that he refused to talk to others from then on.
David didn’t say a word. As he was leaving, I put my hand on his shoulder. “Come back next week if you like.” I said.
He came and I suggested we play a game of chess. He agreed. After that we played chess every Wednesday afternoon — in complete silence. Usually, he arrived earlier than we agreed. It seemed that he liked to be with me.
Maybe I gave David something. But I learned more from him. I learned that time makes it possible to get over what seems to be painful. David showed me how to help people like him.

Years ago，if a teenager had some problems in his life，he might write them in his diary. Now he might get on the Internet and write them in his blog(博客). In many ways，a diary and a blog are almost the same. Then，what makes a blog different from a diary?
The biggest difference is that a blog is much more public than a diary. Anyone can read what you write in your blog. Usually，a teenager likes hiding his diary book and treats it as secret. If you are not satisfied with a friend and write something bad about him in your diary，he will never know it. However，if you do this on the Internet，that friend may read your blog and get angry. So we have to be careful of what we write.
A blog has good points，of course. People choose to write in blogs，they know that their friends will read what they write. If you feel sad one day and write in your diary，no one will know about it. If you write the same words in your blog，your friends may quickly write back to comfort you and offer their help. Blogs help people know what their friends are doing.
Though it's a good way to write blogs about everyday life，I still prefer my old diary.
