New Semester Resolutions-Second Draft

陳冠廷 Don

I have three new semester resolutions this year.

First, I want to read at least eight books a month. Reading books is one of my major interests, and I think it has many benefits. When I am reading a book, I feel so relaxed, because books can bring me to many different worlds that I have not experienced. Moreover, reading can let me think, since different authors will share different perspectives and different ways of thinking. Some authors’ opinions convince me, while some are not. But all of them provide me valuable insights.

Second, I want to see at least eight movies a month. In my opinion, watching movies is interesting and educational. Two of my favorite movies are Click and The Family Man. These two movies’ main idea is kind of close. They share a same idea that tells people that making money is not the most important thing in the world, but family. I am not saying that I totally agree with that idea, but at least, I feel that it’s an idea worth spreading. More importantly, these two movies are also very fun. In short, they make me laugh and cry.

Last, I want to sleep before 12:30 a.m. and get up at 07:30 a.m. every day. I really want to have a healthy life style, but I failed to achieve it. However, I decided to try again, so I put this in my resolution list. I think a healthy life style matters a lot. It can make me healthy and strong. In addition, it can keep me from sleeping at classes and from oversleeping. It also gives me more time to do assignments, to spend on pastimes, and to attend activities I like. Altogether, a healthy life style can help me to improve my quality of life, to increase my academic performance, and to enrich my experience. That’s why I believe that this resolution is worth trying.

I am extremely confident that these three resolutions will be achieved this semester because I am a fighter.
