Which is the correct structure of the
passage?
A.
B.
New Year, New Me
As the year draws to a close, it is the perfect time to think
about the changes we want to make in the coming new year.
We can improve our lives by learning something new, forming
good habits, working harder at something, or even improving
our relationships with others. I hope to make next year better
than this one, so I am going to make three resolutions.
The first one is about taking up a new hobby. I am going to
join the school music club to improve my singing! I think singing
is a great activity. And my friends and family all love my singing.
I am also going to get fitter. Besides jogging, I am going to do
push-ups and sit-ups. I feel energetic after I exercise. I’m sure
I’m going to be a healthier and happier person.
Last but not least, my English isn’t good enough, so I am going
to study for two more hours each weekend. It might be hard,
but I am going to get a lot better at English!
