VOCABULARY BUILDING
Calendars and diaries
A calendar shows the days, weeks and months of a year and is usually hung on the wall. It is used for finding out the date or keeping a brief record of an event. A diary (especially BrE; AmE usually datebook) is a book with spaces for each day of the year, used for writing down appointments or recording events in more detail.
Calendar, diary and datebook are also used to describe some computer programs that perform the same function as the paper versions.
A personal organizer or Filofax™ is a small book with loose sheets of paper in which you can write down addresses, appointments or other information. Diary and personal organizer can also be used to describe a small computer used for the same purpose, although these are usually called electronic/handheld organizers or PDAs (= personal digital assistants).
Note: An agenda is not a diary but a list of items to be discussed at a meeting. |
