A New Year Resolution
(An editing exercise)
| This year is going to be better than last year. I am going to work and live a good life. First of all, I’ve decide to learn another language. I haven’t decided yet, but I might learn | |
| French or I might learning Chinese. I’m also planning to get up shape and go of a diet. And so, I’m thinking of join a health club. Also, I’m going to jogging every morning. But that’s not all, I intend to living a healthier life. I’m plan to quit smoking and cut down off junk food. What’s more, I’ll keep eat lots of fruits and vegetables.
But, I am not going to just study and worry about my health. I am also going to live a happier life. I’m decided to go to a trip. I’m not sure but I will go to China. I like to see the Great Wall and Beijing. |
