If I want to show what I wrote in my English diary for today to an English teacher and ask him/her to have a look and correct any mistakes he/she finds. Which version below is correct to say in this context?

Thanks, Tarheel.

Do you mean the first one is acceptable?

No. It's not your English diary for today unless you have a new one every day. (That's very unlikely.) Instead, you are talking about the entry in the diary for that day.
