Spring will soon be upon us and a new term is here. All over the world spring is the season of new life: flowers bloom, baby animals are born, and the weather becomes warmer．During this time of year, people usually walk around with a spring in their steps and a feeling of fresh beginnings．However, for a fresh beginning it takes more than the bright colors and fresh air of spring．We need to look at ourselves, set new goals, and decide how to improve ourselves．

In England people usually do this on the first day of the year. We look at the past year and think about what we' d like to change or improve in our lives, and we call this a New Year' s resolution（决心）．These can be anything from improving one' s health through exercise or cutting out bad habits, to studying harder for better grades or trying to find a good work or life balance．

Luckily, we don' t have to wait for the beginning of a new year to try and become better people．We can do this whenever we like．The milestone of a new term is just a good place to start.

Sometimes it' s difficult to take the first step in achieving newly set goals, but an old saying is "to begin is to be half-way there．" I agree with this because taking on a new task or changing habits can seem daunting at first, but once we begin, they get easier．For example, spending less time on QQ or playing video games and more time studying or communicating face-to-face can be difficult habits to change at first．But once we settle into the new routine and start to see the results, it' s difficult not to wonder why we didn’t do it sooner.

The trick with deciding on a resolution for a new term is not to set unrealistic targets. If we do this, it's easy to lose motivation because the end goal seems so far away. Try to make many small goals you want to reach on the way to your ultimate（最终的）goal. This way, you can see your progress easily.

Dear Amy

How are you? Mum, Dad and I went to Thailand last week. We had a great time!

We arrived at the airport early on Friday morning. I chose a window seat on the plane. I could see the clouds clearly from the window. They looked soft and shiny. Four hours later, we landed in Thailand.

We stayed at a hotel in Pattaya on our first day. We went to the beach. We played different water sports there. We had so much fun! We were tired when we got back to the hotel.

On the next day, we went to Bangkok. We visited two temples there. They looked like golden bells with pointed tops. We took some photos outside the temples and had a walk in the gardens. In the evening, we had dinner at a restaurant next to a lake. The food was very spicy so I kept drinking cold water!

On the last day, we hung out at a shopping mall. Mum bought a beautiful tea set. Dad bought some T-shirts and I bought some dried mangoes (芒果干). We went to the airport after lunch. I was lucky because I got a window seat again. This time I could see the beautiful sunset (日落).

We enjoyed the trip very much. I hope we will go on another trip again soon.

Love

Polly
