New Year’s Resolutions

Con la llegada del año nuevo se abren nuevas expectativas, ilusiones, y sobre todo, deseos. En inglés la expresión utilizada es “New Year’s Resolutions”, ¿cuáles son tus propósitos?: ¿sacar mejores notas? ¿empezar a hacer deporte? ¿aprobar las asignaturas suspensas? ¿mejorar la relación con tus amigos? ¿que tu equipo favorito gane la liga? ¿Quizás mejorar  tu inglés? ¿ser más organizado/a?……. Para introducir el tema puedes hacerlo leyendo el artículo publicado en Wikipedia, después puedes ver el vídeo que el profesor Mr Duncan (del cual ya hemos hablado en este blog en otras entradas) ha realizado sobre esta cuestion.

  7. Carla Cabrera Urbano, 3ºC

    To face the new year, I want to change all the bad habits, so I will try to study more, eat less fats and I will try to do more sport.
    This year has been very interesting because I began in a new high school and I began to be more worried about my studies. In the last year, I learnt to speak more english and improve my vocabulary so, this year I want to continue to learn it and more.
    I hope to improve my marks and I want to travell to different countries.
    I hope that this year will be better because I will try to get all my goals.
    I can order thousands of desires but I really want to be happy with my family and my friends like always.

  8. Daniel Khabbaz González 1º Bach. B

    Obviously, and like everybody, I always have had New Year’s Resolutions but I have never carried out them. I think these things happen to everybody. For example, every years I set the goal that “I will stop watching TV too much and I will be more concentrated at studies”. But I never do it.
    These last years I haven’t thought about changing things in my life. I think I have nothing to get changed. But if someone ask me what resolutions I have for this year, I would answer that I would try to be more responsable and would help my parents a little bit more. I have to recognize that I’m very lazy and I could be more hard worker at home.
    Otherwise, I have no more things to change for this year. Everything is as I want. Anyway, I still have the expectation of getting better marks.

  9. Brian Jesús Pérez González

    My purpose for this year are mainly pass all subjects without any problems, be a better person, have patience and meet all my goals and desires. I would like people around me also get all your wishes and goals because we all deserve. I have also asked for my family becausenow we need a little luck to fix bad times . For my mother I asked to be more patient with me and quickly find someone who makes you happy. :)

  10. Estefania Exposito Gil

    In this new year, I have several purposes, for example: I want to get up to play the lute, progress in Engish and mathematics because I think if I work more,I can to have better grades although for me this subjets are the most difficults! I hope to be more presivional in everything because I always have all mork for final !
    I would like to go to Fuerteventura in this summer holidays because I love those beaches, get me very very brunette and walk in the beach when the sun goes down!
    Also I would like to go to La Palma, to Devil’s holiday because my cousin lives there and she invites me many times!!
    Finally I would be more happy if I could to help to all persons that they are passing a bad moment because of the crisis and I think if all help them a little, in this new year they could to be a little happy!
    MANY KISSES!!!

  11. of course that I have new goals for this year, there are some more important than others.
    some that are just crazy desires that i do not think that I can meet,
    and I’ve done others purposed a bit difficult to accomplish,
    but I will not lose anything to try to fulfill all my dreams for this year.

    the last year was very good to me, although it could have gone better,
    I must say that last year i failed to meet all my goals.
    but this year I will try to do my best to make it an unforgettable year.

    the first thing I want is to arrive to carnavales now,
    because it’s my favorite fiesta and last year I could not enjoy to the fullest.
    but this year I expect a lot of fun with my friends to make it unforgettable.

    the second is that I have my title. I hope a perfect graduation,
    I hope that all my calssmates and friends can spend that special day together to laugh and mourn if necessary xD
    (I usually cry when i have to say goodbay to all my class).
    also hope to find a nice dress going to attend.

    for other hand, I would like to take the opportunity here as long as possible to be with my friend Camila,
    because she’s going to Uruguay and i will not see her until next year.
    I also want to spend more time with my family, have a good relationship with my brothers,
    because we have a good relationship but it could be better.

    I would also like to be a little more responsible,
    cause i wanna for my parents trusted more in me, and so i can do more things cause last year I have a lot of freedom,
    but because of some iresponsible behaviors my mother didn’t let me do something xD jajajaja. (but was not too bad)..xD

    I would also like to start to having more habit of study in order to get good grades because next year it will be harder,
    and I have to be prepared.

    I would like to improve my English, pronunciation and vocavulario because it is a language that I like,
    i could say it’s one of my favorite subjects (but i will not say lol).
    and also improve general notes, on the last year i have good grades but could have been better,
    such as in mathematics,maybe this year i go to private lessons fence in order to improve because I’m not good at math lol xD.

    and of course I want what everybody wants, which is to win the lottery and thus be able to travel everywhere and be able to visit all my friends.

    I hope healthy for me, my family and my friends xD. :D

  12. Andrea Sophía Sánchez

    Well, I have a lot of new year’s resolutions.
    One of them is that I want to get better marks in some subjects. I want to get my title, and have fun with my friends in the graduation.
    I also want to go to London on April with my friends, it will be unforgettable. I have never been to London.
    Another new year’s resolution that I have is that I would like to improve in basketball and that my team win more matches. I think we have improved a lot, but we need to win more matches.
    I also hope that the missing of an important person in my life don’t depress me much. It will be difficult, but I hope that the time passes fast.
    Another thing that I want is, to have a good start in 1st Bach.
    I know I have more new year’s resolutions but the most importants are theese haha.

  13. My New Year’s resolutions are many. The first thing I want to do is getting my license drive just a week after my eighteen birthday. Related to secondary school, the most important for me right now it’s passing maths this term and then, on the third term, to get very good marks in all subjects.
    Also I would like not to get stress this year as last year, although I think I will get stress even more last year.

  14. Jennifer Casanova Glez

    By this new year I want to approve second of high school and have good marks. To do that first I have to pass the subject of first of high school, which is biology.
    I want to graduate with my classmates in June and approve the PAU. In this way could get into college and get a degree that I like. A part of that could also discover something new in my life. If I pass the PAU, in summer I could start classes to take my driver’s license.
    I am very excited because this year I turn 18 years old, I have been a long time waiting for that moment. I would like this year, improve crisis, for many people are without job if the crisis improve, they can get a job. Also to help people who owe debts.
    Another thing I like to do this year is to learn much English, I’ve always had trouble learning and I want to know more so that in the future I can be proud of knowing a different language, and talk with other people.

  15. Alexandra Carballo

    A new year has arrived and you begin to have new goals and new expectations. They can be attainable or unattainable, but what really matters is that you put effort to get it. In my opinion, start a new year doesn’t mean that the next day everything will change … if you really want to achieve your goals, you have to really fight for them. You mustn’t leave that they will be only supposition, you have to make them true. For example, I would like travelling around the world and seeing new places but I know I can’t because I haven’t got money … but what I can do it’s start saving to travel in another year. On the other hand, I will do a hard work to pass with good marks in 2 º Bachillerato because my future depends on it. Doing the “PAU” without any difficulty and getting into my degree. I know that it’s hard work but I think I can get it. This year is an important year because I have my future in my hands, and I hope to make the right decision. Another important purpose for this year it’s to get a driver’s license. This year, I will be eighteen years old and I can get more freedom and therefore, I have to take more responsibility. Also, I would like meeting people from other countries to learn about other cultures. I think it’s interesting to meet other traditions or acquire other languages because you get more knowledge.
    Finally, I hope that this year will be a great year with new adventures to live. ^^

  16. Hi,
    My purpose for this new year is to pass course and to be university. think to ask for help to study in another country to learn more english. I also hope to focus more this year to achieve my goals.
    I hope not to leave things as I like music and salsa, this things that are important to me.
    I like to travel with my friends in the summer for some island. I don’t important island, although I would like “El Hierro” because it’s beautiful. I would like diving.
    Finally in summer I try to get the card of car.

  17. The first thing I have proposed is to pass second of Bach because my future depends on this. This is my main resolution and the others are secondary. My second resolution in order to try to get this year is to do the football season of my life. I want to get many things but I don’t know if I will get it. I think that if I proposed something I will get it but for this I have to fight.
    My third and last resolution is I hope my family and my friends are good this year and my friendship with them continue growing. I only ask to do this resolutions and if I get to do my three resolution I think that this year will be good for me.
    Thinking now to win the lottery would be great and with this money I will buy the carnivals for me and for my friends. Another very important thing for me this year is to pass the PAU because without this exam passed I can’t to choose the degree that I like.
    And if I could pass this course I hope these are with good grades.

  18. well.. uhm i think..my New Year’s Resolutions most important is get good mark at school. I dont have a lot of of new year’s resolutions.. i dont know what say.Maybe meet people, meet up more.
    I’d like be less shy, more outgoing, and so on..dont be so quiet xDD
    Also I’d like doing new things, such as go to new places or travel.
    and.. that’s all )

  19. Obviusly, I have a lots of new years resolutions.

    First of all I know I’m in the most important course of my life because my future depends on it. My best expectation for this year is to continue studying in the University what I want ( That I know it’s very hard ). Also I want to have as good marks as possible not only for my career but also by my personal satisfaction.
    Also I want to improve my english as much as possible and learn other languages like French, Italian… because I think on this times, languages are very important. I want to travel all around the world too, its a good way to know other places and to learn about other cultures and other ways of living.
    I want ( like everybody I suppose) the end of that crisis that affect most countries in the world. Also I want the return of one of my favorites channel in TV that has been deleted and replaced by other worst channel, Im talking about CNN+ ( I used to watch this channel).
    Of course other of my principal expectation for this year is to have my driving license I want to get it after the end of the Pau because I would be more relaxing that now. I want to pass the Pau with a high mark because I need very good marks to enter in my career so I am going to work hard to get those marks.
    Finally I want to say that I want my new year resolutions get real because I want to be happy with all aspect in my life :)

    With the New Year, people want to change and seek to improve their lives. Because, as the tradition says: “new year new life”. In my case, almost every year, I hope to change, especially in relation to my studies and my friend relationships, but then, I don’t use to do it.
    Everyone’s wish and mine too is winning the lottery, passing all the exams or winning a trip to an exotic place. Anyway, having those big expectations doesn’t help us to take away the stress and, above all, to be happy.
    On the one hand, I would like to be better in school, since last year my marks weren’t very good, and on the other hand, above all I would like to have better results in English and, for this, I need to practice more and use it in my spare time in order to improve it.
    However, throughout the year, I will be able to change some things and I will improve as a person and as a friend, although, probably, I will not realize it.

  21. By this new year my new year’s resolutions are
    Have a good to along of the year and when finish the year I be able to do the “PAU” and pass with good marks. I want to do daily exercise for have healthy life
    I want win the lottery for help my parents. Beside I want to pass subjects to failed the last term.I want to get a driving licence. I would like go to travel around the world. Something that really I want is go to mainland to study at the university because I want to see different parts of the world.
    Have a new year’s resolutions not only mean have it not one to keep it. For this I would like to keep all my new year’s resolutions. :)

  22. I have a lot of new year’s resolutions.For example, I would like to travel to USA or some country far away from here, but I know that this is a bit difficult. So, I have to think in other things that I would like to do and get this year.
    First, I want to get good marks in all subjets at the end of the course, keep learning a lot and improve as much as possible, and finally, I want to get my title. And , of course, I want to have very fun in my graduation. I want that day comes, and I know it will be amazing.
    On the other hand, I’d like to win more matches with my team and look better in the league.
    I also want to go to London with my friends and teachers, because it will be a new experience and something that I’m not going to forget.
    Another resolution I have, is more difficult, but it’s not impossible enough. I would like to be less negative and this year, I’m going to try it because I know that it will be better for me. But it something that it will happened as time passes.
    And I don´t know what else. I suppose that many things will be happening, but it’s early to say it yet.
    Well, I just hope this year will be as good as last one, or better.
    Oh, I forgot it! Another new year’s resolution is that…I’m going to do more extrawork, I promise it! Hahaha:)

  23. Jacqueline Navarro

    I think in this new year to learn much more English than last year. Also this year I’m going to value my fellow teachers and friends, I want to get better results in the notes last quarter. I like a lot this year to get more exercise and eat healthier.
    I think this year will make an exciting year with new experiences, and that we will travel to London end of year.
    There are special years, and believes this will be one of them. :)

  24. My purpose for this new year is to pass everything (which I doubt), getting my driving license, start with a diet and sport, to approve the courses I failed the first secondary school, improve my English for my future, get a job holidays, try to get along with everyone … but what I want most this year is that if I pass everything, I accept the military academy.

  25. I think that this year will be important to me. I would like to learn more English because last years I didn’t learn much and it’s important for my future. I also would like to do more extrawork. I want that my basketball team win more matches.
    I’m very nervous because I will travel to London with my friends and my English teachers. I want to be there to see a new country, which has very nice places. Later we also have the graduation, and I think that this day will be very special for all us. It will be a night to remember.
    I hope that it will be a great year.

  26. Great!
    I think in this new year I have to start do sport, try to improve much my English and get better marks in the subjects. Try to pass all subjects in June and not have to study in the summer, so I can spend a worry-free summer.
    I want to travel to America in summer for visit my family. I would love!
    Finally I want to improve my relationship with my friends. :P

  27. Fabian Diaz Lorenzo

    In this new year, I think that I have to improve in various aspects for example: English. So I have set several goals for example I will improve in English because it’s important for this course. I need to pass english. Also I want better marks in this course. I want to avoid to get embarrased in public. Also I want to go out with my friends. This year I would like to get the driving license. I would like to travel to ingland or Australia.
    Finally I want everyone to achieve their goals.

  28. For this year, I have a lot of new year’s resolutions. First, I want to get good grades at all the subjects. I also want be more hard-working, learn more English, and win the league with my team. I hope that C.D. Tenerife stay in 2a division jaja. I would also like going to Madrid for watch the Madrid-Barça and going to País Vasco to play Donosti Cup.
    Another thing I want to change is improve my organization and have a happy graduation :D jaja.
    Finally, I want spend time with my family and friends and have good health and luck xD

  29. Virginia Robayna Hdez

    A new year has arrived and I’ve obviously thought in some New Year’s resolution to do along this year although I don’t see it the sense.
    In this New Year I would like to win the lottery and can travel to a foreign country. But New Year’s resolution must be things you want to happen and things in which you have to be prepared to work, and not only what you want to happen or an habit you just want to broke but then you aren’t strong enough to do it as it happens every year with people who want to stop smoking. So, I want to have good marks at the end of the year and can pass the “PAU” with good marks that’s why my new year’s resolution is to study hard and be organized to can do my best in the exams. Also, I want to improve my English, specially my vocabulary and my way to write.
    Moreover I think if there’s something you want to change in your lifestyle you haven’t to wait until the end of the year to decide to change it, this is the reason what I don’t really like the New Year’s resolution, because if there’s something I want to change or to achieve I only work on it and that’s it.
    Anyway, I hope this new year be a long and great year!

  30. Well,in this 2011 I would like do many things.
    The first and the most important for me is get better marks,and then other things also important like spend time with my friends and my family because they are the most important thing in my life,and also travel to Englad really I can’t wait!And I would like go to the concert of my favourite singer but is a little dificult…hahaha
    I hope this year will be better than the 2010,mature and remain as I am,never change who I am,and never lose my friends.
    And always be happy :)

  31. I really have a lots new years resolutions. First, this year I want to get better grades in all the subjects , improve my english and be more organized.
    Also, I would like to travel more that the last year, I’d love to visit new places and to meet new cultures.
    I really would like to go to a concert of any of my favourites singers.
    Another thing that I would like for this year is to have many good recollections and other good things.
    Of course, I hope that my family and me have good health, money and love haha.
    And especially to be happy.
    I hope that 2011 is a great year!
