【小题1】effective 。此处是修饰名词way，应该用形容词，填effective。
【小题2】Compared 。固定短语：（be） pared with “与……相比较”，此处是做状语，所以填Compared。
【小题3】less。根据and前shorter判断此处应该用比较级，从句意判断作者指写日记用的时间较少，填less。
【小题4】If 。从后面句子可知此处强调一种假设条件，填If。
【小题5】difficulties 。many后面跟复数名词，填difficulties。
【小题6】it 。固定句型：it happens that…. “碰巧”，所以填it。
【小题7】finding 。固定短语：have trouble doing sth“做某事有困难”，填finding。
【小题8】am concerned。固定短语：as far as sb/ sth be concerned “就……而言”，根据主谓一致的原则可知填am concerned。
【小题9】of。此处是“of +抽象名词”，代替形容词做表语，此处填of。
【小题10】the。名词development后有定语限制，所以应该用定冠词the 。
