  This new year 2015 will definitely be an exciting year for me as I have committed some important things to accomplish. Firstly, I have resolved to improve my English rapidly, with hoping to speak more fluently,accurately and naturally. To achieve this goal, I have joined the online English class, and apart from that, I regularly read a newspaper at least half an hour a day. Secondly, I am going to live healthy lifestyle. to reach this target, I have joined the local sport club to play different kind of games such as volleyball, basketball and table tennis. My probably the biggest goal is to get university degree from University of Western Sydney in mass media. I am in a final semester of this course and to secure high distinction mark in my final exam, I have fully immersed into my study and working very hard no matter it is day or night.
  I fully hope that I will fulfill my dreams in this year of 2015.

  My resolution/s for 2015 are simple and practical.
  I will not drink a coffee/cappuccino/chocolate a day but the money will go instead to a saving device so at the end of next year I will have enough money to bring my wife to live with me in my country, Australia.
  My second resolution is to finish my book to get it ready for publication.
  If I get these resolutions a reality I will be a very happy man!
