I'm not an English speaker. For improving my English skills, I decided to write dairy in English. I hope someone can read my dairy and correct the mistakes in the text. Thanks in advance.

As usual, I got up very late today. When I was sleeping, a mobile call waked me up. It's my older colleague Yang. He found a new job days ago. Yang told me about his new job. He felt the work was not busy and there are plenty of time to learn. A few days later, he would participate in a big project. For customer requests, the project development team must be on site, so he would go to work in a new place soon. I asked him whether would he go home in seven days' holiday. He said that he would leave and stayed for 3 or 4 days. I invited him to visit my new house and met some older colleagues. He promised it. We talked over twenty minutes. After ended the chat, I was going on sleeping immediately.
At twenty to fourteen, I waked up. I washed my tooth and face, then went out to have a lunching. In fact, it should be breakfast for me. I'm used to have breakfast at this time. When I was back home, it was already fifteen o'clock. I opened my notebook and began to work. A new day was starting!

Hi Leslie, keeping a diary is a good idea. Keeping a dairy means you look after cows! Corrections are in italics. You need to practise your verb tenses and also learn about the 24 hour clock (14.00, 15.00) and 'normal' times (2pm, two, 3pm, three) as it is not appropriate to use 24 hour clock in the way that you are trying it. Nice diary though, keep it up! I wish I got to sleep in till 2pm...
