2008: New Year Resolution
What's your new year resolution?
Mine is to improve my listening skills. I am going to listen to the BBC more, watch more English programs like news programs, movies, etc.
Hope I can stick to this resolution.

Re: 2008: New Year Resolution
My resolutions for the new year are always basically the same:
- Stop biting my nails (and/or skin around them)
- Lose weight
- Exercise more
-Be more self-confident
And like I said they are the same every year, which means I never carry them out...

Re: 2008: New Year Resolution
My suggestion for Dixie's resolution for next year: Finish the resolutions of last year. That would solve the problem.

1. I won't tell fibs.
For example I will not say "I saw UFO lastnight."
when I didn't see one.
2. I will improve my English skills because I will take the entrance examination for University next year.
:D

Re: 2008: New Year Resolution
So the Year 2008 is becoming to it's final. Now it's time to look back and read Chickens. I would like to hear who did full-fill their resolution and how did it go.
As for me. I didn't tell any New Year Resolution for 2008. Or I forgot that I did.. Then did I fail. I even don't know.
Well I promise, I'm going to make Resolution for 2009.. I'm going to post them into new topic. So please read them there.
