It’s a New Year …

What do you want to accomplish?

What do you want to change about yourself?

What do you want to change about your life?

I gave this topic to one of my 3rd year (junior) classes.  I’m having them practice ‘free writing’ and it’s going pretty well.  Here are some memorable quotes from reading through their responses to the questions above:

“I want to finish my poems and publish my first book.”

“I want to do something better in my life.”

“I want my city to be cleaner.”

“I want to learn English because I want to be an English teacher in the future.”

“I want to sing a song with my sister.”

“I want to change my life completely.”

“I think a new friendship would be a good thing.”

“I want to buy a car and a new house.”

“I want to speak English with my friends and with my mother at home.”

“I want to be more organized.”

“I want to get a new computer this year and I hope that good things will happen to me.”

“I want to get good marks because this makes my parents happy.”

“I want to go to Greece over summer holidays (vacation).”

“I want to learn so much because I understand now that life is very difficult.”

“I would like to have a house with a garden and a cat because I like animals.”
