New Year's Resolutions

You just had Christmas, which also suggests the coming new year!
Before we move to 2007, it's time to look back to the past and reflect on the things we want to change for the new year. What are the bad habits you want to kick out? What are the goals you want to achieve? Losing weight? Saving money? Taking a trip? When you make your new year's resolutions, be specific! For example, "I want to read three books a month."
Please write down your new year's resolutions (1-10) and we will see what the top five new year's resolutions of BIS students are.

To make your New Year's Resolutions feasible, check out this website and follow the steps provided: http://www.ehow.com/how_12077_make-new-years.html

Well, Lisa, you just have to look at the five steps in "Instructions." So what are your New Year's Resolutions? What do you want to achieve to make yourself a better person?

I wish I can make a lot of new friends.
I wish I can pass all the subjects and get good grades.

Let me point out the differences between "wish" and "hope" first. When you "wish" something, it is unlikely to happen. For example, I "wish" I had wings. On the other hand, when you "hope" something, it is possible to happen. Say,I "hope" we will win in the game. So, for your new year's resolutions, which one would you use?

Irene said...

Cindy, you "wish" a few things. Are you saying these things are unlikely to happen? Are you saying you don't think I'll get married some day? Haha... (Check my previous comment.)

BTW, when you make your new year's resolutions, please be more specific. These resolutions are about you, not others. For example, "I want to read three books a month." Try to work on your list again.:)

1.I hope I can get good grades on my test and all pass!
.....especially "geography",this is the worst subject I did.
2.And I would like to play the piano in popular songs.Nowadays,many people learn to play the piano.As a result most of the people who learn the piano can perform the same music.So I want sonething different.I aspire to learn the popular and prevailing songs.That way I can play an instrument in a performance at school next time:)(This is the one of my plans for winter vacation.)Hahaha~~

Teresa, those "impossible" wishes can't be your new year's resolutions. Please try again. Examine yourself well and see what you might want to improve to make a better YOU this year.
