Last week we looked back at our new year’s resolutions for 2014. I discovered that most people didn’t fulfill theirs.

京晶：上周我们回顾了2014年你的新年愿望，我发现，大多数人并没有完成他们的愿望。

Really? I didn’t either, I’m so ashamed! How could I be like this?

小高：是吗？我竟然也没有，太惭愧了！怎么会这样？

I think the main reason is because there’s no determination that you must finish something. Without determination, you won’t get any action. I’ve got a good way. Let’s invite all of our listeners to tell us their new year’s resolutions for 2015 and write out a “must do list”. When the 2016 New Year comes around, we’ll check and see if we met our goals. What do ya say?

京晶：我看呢，主要是因为没有必须达成的决心，没有决心就没有行动，我有个好办法，今天我们邀请所有的听众朋友们一起来说出2015的新年决心，列出must - do list. 等2016年新年时，我们一起来检查目标是否达成了，好吗？

That sounds really interesting. Let me tell you mine first: My New Year’s resolution for 2015 is to stay on my diet, hit the gym as much as possible, and do a superb job on my thesis.

小高：这个有趣！我先说：我的愿望是2015年继续坚持饮食计划，尽可能地锻炼健身，另外交出一篇完美的毕业论文。

Wow! Everyone’s resolution is great! But putting it into practice won’t be easy. So we want everyone to make the promise now and keep an eye on people in the future.

小高：哇！大家的决心都很棒！但实施起来真不容易呢。所以我们要大家一起来许愿，互相监督。

That’s right. Last but not least, it’s my turn. I wanna give simple and free English learning to more people in need. By the time 2016 comes around, I hope we can proudly say: I fulfilled my 2015 New Year’s resolution!
