Confused?

hi again dear friends,i have read two sentences,which seem to me a lil bit awkard.

Chinese Style:

Last night I didn't keep my diary.


American Style:


Last night I didn't write anything in my diary.


Chinese Style:He was talking in a high voice.
American Style:

He was talking loud.


American syles are supposed to be right.
