Writing Task 1--- My New Semester Resolutions (final draft)

It’s another New Year, also the new spring semester. That means we should review or reflect the previous semester achievements or failures and turn over a new leaf to learn more in school. Setting up some goals is not only for the study but also for the future. So I am determined to make some goals to keep learning. These goals include enhancing English ability, reading plenty of books, and staying healthy lifestyle.  

First of all, I really hope that I can enhance English ability after this semester.  At least, reach a certain level that between intermediate and advanced level. So that I can have fluent communication with anyone, have accurate academic writing skills, and read English book or paper more easily. Therefore, I have decided to attend the TOEIC test in March. In order to get above 800 score in March TOEIC test, I practice it every day. For example, listen to English programs and do lots of reading exercises. Moreover, by every week’s assignment and practice, I believe I can acquire more writing skills from the Intermediate English Writing class. Besides, keep the saying” You speak more, you learn more” in mind, and try to make myself have higher participation in related-English courses. In other words, every class I need to have some opinion or question to interact with teachers and classmates so that my speaking ability will be better and better. The more I learn, the more my English ability improves.
       Second, in addition to enhancing English ability, I also want to read extensively. That means to read plenty of books. Reading has lots of benefits such as having different ways of thinking or enhancing logical ability, but it doesn’t become the part of my hobbies yet. I am lazy to read so many words that I am lack of having interests in books. However, if I don’t read anymore, maybe someday my knowledge, common sense, and logical thinking ability would be faded away. Similarly, I probably can’t keep up the trends in the world, or even lose competitiveness. For these reasons, I need to read newspapers or magazines at least three times per week and read four books in the semester. After I achieve this goal, I hope I can have more topics to talk with anyone.

Furthermore, staying healthy lifestyle is also important. We know that healthy lifestyle has lots of benefits to our body. It includes making our body stronger, decreasing the risk of chronic disease such as heart disease or hypertension. Thus, I decide to put healthy lifestyle into action. By doing more exercises, it relieves the pressure from daily life, gives me happier mind to face any challenges, keeps healthy body, and stays good shape. Now, I am looking forward to seeing the upcoming spring and summer because of sunny and warm weather. It implies that I can go brisk walking and go jogging every day！
       In conclusion, it’s just the start of the new semester. I should cherish and hold every minute every second I have. Be persistent and diligent to do the resolutions-enhancing English ability, reading plenty of books, and staying healthy lifestyle. Live while I am alive and talk to myself” just know what I do is I really love to do and enjoy it.”  That’s worth it！
