2018 is coming, are you ready for a brand new year? Do you have a New Year’s resolution?

馬上要到2018年了，你準備好提升孩子英語水平了嗎？你有新年的愿望清單嗎？

The end of the year is a good time to reflect on how far you’ve come during the past 12 months.??And, making a New Year’s resolution is a good way to start off the coming year with the goal of improving yourself. Unlike a birthday wish, where you hope for something wonderful to happen, New Year’s resolutions are practical things that you can do to make yourself and your life better.

年末是最佳反省時間，可以好好想想過去一年都干了啥。同時，列一份新年愿望清單是一個激勵自己在新年進步的好辦法。和生日許愿啥的也許不同，新年愿望比較實際，更多的是說說自己要做什么來改善生活。

So today, in order to make this New Year even more special, I am going to share the New Year’s resolutions of my friends and family with you guys. Hope you enjoy!

為了讓這個新年更特別，今天我想要和大家分享我朋友和家人的新年愿望清單。希望大家喜歡。

So, let’s start with some from my friends who want a healthier life:
