The beginning of a new year finds many people making New Year's resolutions. Though they are easy to make, few people stay true to them. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} , it's a new year and many want to turn over a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} leaf.
If you're one of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} , you'll be more successful if you make SMART goals! Each goal should be:
Specific. Don't say you want to lose some {#blank#}4{#/blank#} , read more or exercise. Decide how much weight to lose, how many books to read, or how many times a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to exercise.
Measurable(可衡量的). Weigh yourself daily, count the number of books you read {#blank#}6{#/blank#} , and make notes of how many times you exercise each week.
Attainable(可达成的). Don't set impossible goals. For example, don't make promise to lose 10 kilograms in a week. Or if you have just {#blank#}7{#/blank#} running, realize you won't be running a long-distance race in a month.
Relevant(相关的). If you love history, you probably {#blank#}8{#/blank#} read eight books a month about science. You won't stick with it if the subject isn't {#blank#}9{#/blank#} .
Timely. Set deadlines. How long will you {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to read a book?A new year is about starting over— so start now!

    Last month, I visited a school in Canada. What I {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（听见）most often there was questions like “Shall we do the task in pairs?” and “Four students each group.” In Canada, I found students were often asked to act in groups. T{#blank#}2{#/blank#} team spirit really surprised me.

    This was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} writing lesson. The teacher asked every five students to work in one group and each group should write one article {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（一起）. In a group, the first student began the story. After that, the student had to pass the paper to the n{#blank#}5{#/blank#} one. That student should go on with the story. Just like this, the paper was p{#blank#}6{#/blank#} until the last student tried his best to finish the story with a good ending. Each of them only had one {#blank#}7{#/blank#}['mɪnɪt] to do the job and they all did well.

    Finally, a group of students got prizes because of their best story. All the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} were excited because the lesson was actually like a game. Learning how to write through the game was fun to them. We all know that cooperation（合作）, but how can we have {#blank#}9{#/blank#} [sʌtʃ] an ability? I think we can learn something {#blank#}10{#/blank#} schools in Canada. Maybe it's a good idea to begin with group activities.
