Set a time limit(限定) For example, I would like to be fitter in Step 1 now becomes I will be fit enough to join a half-marathon race by the end of August. |
Step 3: Now that you've made your choice, what are you actually going to do to achieve your goal? So, in our example, I will be fit enough to join a half- marathon race by the end of August, becomes I'm going to join a running club.Or I'm going ta go jogging three times a week. | Step 4: This is when you change your intentions(意图) into specific actions.

Here is some cool information about the world's population.
| It took 12 years for the world's population to grow from 7 billion to 2022's 8 billion. But it will take about 15 years for the population to reach 9 billion. That's because fewer babies are born now. In 50 years,this can slow the growth of the world's population. |
| The day on which the world's population grows by one billion is important. The United Nations chooses a baby born on that day as the symbolic(象征的)baby. For example,the world's population reached 8 billion on November 15, 2022. Vinice Mabansag was born on that day and she became the symbolic 8 billionth baby. |
| More boys than girls are born around the world. There are 106 baby boys born for every 100 baby girls. There are 1. 8 billion people between the ages of 10 and 24. That's the largest number ever(有史以来). |
