Advice on making your resolutions work
Careful reading
Para.4 Complete the mind map
Do you have any other advice for making your resolutions work?
Give yourself a small reward when you make progress. For example, if you stick to reading for a week, you can play computer games for an extra 30 minutes.
Break your big resolution into small daily tasks. If your resolution is to read 20 books a year, just read 10 pages every day—it’s easier to stick to small steps.
Find a “resolution partner” with the same goal. If you want to exercise more, ask a classmate to join you.

I still remember how disappointed I was when I __________ my maths exam for the first time. Mr Guo found me crying in the classroom after school. He said to me, “Don’t give up. Keep working hard and ________________ again in the next exam.” I promised him that I would not lose hope. After that, Mr Guo often spared some time to help me. Whenever I found something I didn’t understand, he was always happy to ___________ it. With his help, my maths skills started to improve. One day, Mr Guo smiled and said, “You see, you are doing a great job. Now keep on ____________ and be ___________ in your abilities.” I went into the final exam with great confidence. Later, I found out I got an A in maths! I was so excited about achieving my goal.
