This is an entry from my diary. Please check it and correct any mistakes.

I've gotten into thrillers recently because most of them are easy to read and propel me to keep going. However, there are still a lot of new words for me. At first, I couldn't be bothered to look up every single of them, so to speed up my reading process, I sometimes ignored descriptive words, but then, I realised it completely defeats the purpose of reading thrillers. Also, I'm worried that I might miss the hints from the writers if I ignore too many words. Now, with my hard work of consulting dictionaries, I've learnt more words, have consulted the dictionaries fewer and am able to guess from the context.

At first, I couldn't be bothered to look up every single one of them, so to speed up my reading process, I sometimes ignored descriptive words, but then, I realised it completely defeats the purpose of reading thrillers. Also, I'm worried that I might miss the hints from the writers if I ignore too many words. Now, with my hard work of in (diligence in) consulting dictionaries has paid off - I've learnt more words, have consulted consulted the dictionaries fewer less often and am able to guess (the meanings of words) from the context.
