A New Year, A New Opportunity

Every year, people around the world set new goals. Some want to improve their health, others want to focus on their careers, and many decide to learn something new, like a language. This year, Jan has a big dream. She wants to speak English fluently by the end of the year.

Jan knows that learning a language is not easy, but she believes in the power of a good plan. First, she created a study schedule. Every day after work, she studies English for one hour. On weekends, she practices speaking with her friends online. She is also taking an English class at a local school.

Her teacher told her:

“The best way to achieve your goals is to stay focused and keep practicing.”

Jan listens to her teacher and stays motivated. Her motivation comes from her dream of traveling to Canada next year. “If I speak English well, I will have more opportunities to meet new people and experience new things,” she says.

One of the biggest challenges Jan faces is staying consistent. Sometimes, she feels tired after work and doesn’t want to study. But Jan made a strong commitment to her goal. “If I stop now, I won’t improve,” she thinks. Somedays, Jan is very busy, but she has a solution for that: she has a notebook to take notes for when she can’t study for one hour. She takes five minutes of her day to write a few words in English just to maintain consistency. That’s how she learned that practice is the most important thing when it comes to learning something new. 

Jan also looks for ways to make learning fun. She listens to music in English, watches movies, and reads books in English. These activities help her improve her vocabulary and pronunciation. Sometimes, she even rewatches some of her favorite shows without subtitles to challenge herself.

When Jan thinks about the future, she feels excited. She imagines herself speaking English confidently in different situations. She knows that this year is her chance to grow and learn.

Jan’s story reminds us that the new year is full of possibilities. Whether your goal is to learn English, travel, or try something new, you can achieve it with a good plan, hard work, and a positive attitude.
