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!

Writing Sample
My first resolution is to improve my tennis skills. I fell in love with this sport in October when I watched a professional match. After that I took a few tennis lessons, but I still can’t consistently hit the ball. Next year, I will practise three times a week, aiming to master basic forehand and backhand techniques. I’ll also try to find more tennis partners for regular practice.
My second resolution is to improve my spoken English. While my reading and writing skills are good, speaking is still my weakness. I have decided to watch more
English-speaking TV shows without subtitles. Though challenging, this will help me
learn more about natural speech.
My third resolution is to improve my cooking. In Unit 3, I learned about some simple dishes and successfully cooked them myself. I have more confidence in cooking now. I plan to try more recipes, especially my favourites: steak and chocolate cake.
