1
I know it's a bit late,
2
but I've been thinking a lot about my future and the things that I want to accomplish this year.
3
So I thought I would share some of my yearly reflections
4
and my thoughts and aspirations for what I want this year to be.
5
This will be kind of like my New Year's resolutions.
6
I love to journal, so I've written all of my thoughts down so far,
7
and I thought I would go through them with you guys.
8
First of all, we're starting off strong.
9
my first goal this year is to go to bed before 12 p.m.
10
I feel like I really need to give myself time to rest
11
and I've realized how important a good night's sleep truly is.
12
I think getting eight hours of sleep,
13
going to bed before 12 p.m.,
14
that's really my bottom line for this year.
15
Second up is one or two vacations this year.
16
And what I mean by vacation,
17
it doesn't necessarily have to be going somewhere new or traveling or even like international travel.
18
I don't really mean it to be something luxurious.
19
I think even taking a few days off and staying at home and getting some rest,
20
that would also be a great vacation to me.
21
But that being said, if I do have the chance to go somewhere,
22
I would love to go back to China
23
and I would love to spend some time hiking and exploring the amazing mountains of China.
24
I really wanted to do that when I was there last time
25
but unfortunately because of time and scheduling I just didn't make it.
26
But no matter what it is I do think a break every once in a
27
while a few days off is really refreshing and it helps to keep you energized.
28
My third resolution for this year is to eat healthy and gain more muscle.
29
I think I already do eat pretty healthily especially compared to past versions of myself
30
so that shouldn't be Maybe I can take it a step further,
31
be even more healthy.
32
But the main thing is I would like to gain some more muscle.
33
I mean, I do exercise,
34
I do some yoga and stuff like that,
35
but I want to step it up a little bit.
36
I want to get stronger and feel myself get stronger.
37
Honestly, I got this thought when I was watching Severance for the first time,
38
the actress who plays Holly.
39
When I first saw her,
40
of course I thought she was beautiful,
41
but I just noticed that she looked really strong.
42
And then I watched one of her interviews and she was talking about how she works out all the time.
43
She is really strong and she can do a lot of things.
44
I just feel like that is really cool.
45
I felt a little bit inspired by her.
46
So I'm definitely gonna be going to the gym more this year.
47
And the fourth resolution is to stop taking things so seriously.
48
Last year, I was really caught up in the seriousness of life,
49
and everything was like life or death to me,
50
but I didn't really have that much fun.
51
I think life is meant to be lived.
52
It's meant to be enjoyed,
53
and you're supposed to have fun.
54
So I'm going to stop taking things so seriously this year
55
and just explore and do the things that I want to do.
56
So the fifth one is kind of weird or kind of random,
57
but I want to watch more movies.
58
I used to love watching movies.
59
I even studied movies in high school and in college a little bit.
60
And I really loved doing that.
61
And I love talking about movies with other people.
62
And maybe it's because I'm a little bit competitive.
63
My brother actually had this goal where he watched a movie every single day.
64
I mean, one movie a day is very extreme.
65
I don't really plan on doing that.
66
but I don't know at least a few a month.
67
I think movies can be really inspiring
68
and it can help me with my creative side
69
so getting more of that creative input will also help with my creative output.
70
The sixth resolution I have is I want to adopt a dog.
71
This is something I have wanted to do for many many years
72
and I just never did it because I was constantly moving.
73
If you guys watched me for a while you know I move like every single year.
74
I never know where I'm gonna be.
75
I don't really feel very stable honestly
76
so I didn't feel it was right for me to put a dog through all
77
that instability but I'm really hoping that this year things can settle down.
78
I'll know what my at least next two years will look like and I'll be able to finally adopt a dog.
79
I did have a dog when I was growing up.
80
She was an adorable little black lab.
81
I had a lot of fun with her when I was a kid
82
and I really miss that whole experience and I also find myself just yearning to take care of something.
83
So I think this will be a really really really great step if I can do that this year.
84
This might be something pushed off towards the end of the year but I think I can do it.
85
And what I have lastly for my seventh New Year's resolution is I want to expand my library,
86
my physical library.
87
Honestly, I posted a video a while ago
88
and behind me I had like a little pile of books and somebody commented and said,
89
wow, that little pile of books, that's too little.
90
Like implying that I don't have enough books.
91
And honestly, I found the comment really funny.
92
I think they were trying to be not very nice,
93
but I did think it was quite amusing.
94
I mean, that little pile of books is not all the books that I have.
95
Most of my books are in my parents' basement because I do move so frequently.
96
It's not very easy to carry so many books,
97
especially when you move by yourself all the time.
98
So I'm hoping that by settling down a bit,
99
I'll have, you know, more permanent space where I can expand and grow my physical library.
100
Also last year I really wanted to read a lot but because of time,
101
because of all the things going on in my life,
102
because of all this craziness,
103
I really didn't hit my reading goals and I feel kind of bad about myself in that way.
104
But I know that this year will be different and those are just the goals that I have so far.
105
I I will probably add to this list as the year goes on because I don't really believe in New Year's resolutions.
106
I feel like you can change parts of your life in any part,
107
any time of your life.
108
It doesn't just have to be in the new year.
109
So maybe in a few months,
110
I'll think of some new things and write them down and keep working on myself.
111
And if you can't tell by this list of all of my goals for this year,
112
I think I am going through a kind of perspective shift in my life.
113
I think in the past,
114
especially the past few years,
115
I went through a very challenging time,
116
not necessarily always in a bad way.
117
Like a challenge is also a good thing to have.
118
You don't wanna be living like a super easy life all the time,
119
but I did spend a lot of time thinking about what other people want
120
and not so much thinking about what I want.
121
And I wanna regain this focus and clarity on myself.
122
I want to kind of focus more on physical and mental health
123
and try to enjoy the time that I have on this earth.
124
The other day, somebody asked me,
125
what are your goals in life?
126
Of course, it's a very broad question,
127
but it really made me think because in the past,
128
I think I definitely would have answered that question in a way of considering my own career.
129
Like I would have said something like,
130
I want to publish a novel.
131
I want to gain a bunch of work experience.
132
I want to become the best teacher I can be.
133
I want to become this amazing person.
134
And while that's all great,
135
it is very much focused on success.
136
But in that moment when I was asked,
137
what are your goals in life?
138
Honestly, what came to my mind was I want to live a happy, peaceful life.
139
I want to spend more time cooking and eating good food.
140
I want to help others.
141
I want to inspire others.
142
I want to be a good friend, a good partner.
143
I want to enjoy my life.
144
And I think these things are honestly a lot more important than how successful you are
145
or how successful other people view you to be.
146
Or maybe I'm just growing up, getting older.
147
Maybe it's a natural kind of change.
148
I don't know.
149
You can let me know if you've gone through a similar change.
150
And I truly hope that this was inspiring or insightful in some ways.
151
Maybe I inspired some of your own goals for this year.
152
You can leave them in the comments,
153
what you want to do,
154
what you want to accomplish,
155
or what you want to focus on this year.
156
And lastly, I just want to reiterate and leave you guys with this lingering thought,
157
which is just you really don't have to wait for a certain time of the year to reinvent yourself
158
or to change something in your life.
159
You can grow and change at any point in any time.
160
All it takes is a little bit of effort.

推薦影片
為什麼要通過這個影片練習口語?
觀看並練習這個影片可以幫助你在放鬆的環境中提高英語口語能力。使用這段影片中的內容,學習者可以在實踐中表達自我,討論個人目標和新年決心,進而增強與他人交流的信心。此類話題引發的思考不僅激發了對未來的規劃,還帶來了深度反思。通過模仿和改編影片中的語調和表達,學習者能夠更自然地掌握日常對話,進而在雅思口語練習中獲得優勢。看YouTube學英語的同時,記錄自己的想法和目標也是一種有效的學習方法。
語法與表達在上下文中的分析
- 首先, “I think” 是一個很常用的表達方式,幫助說話者闡述個人觀點。比如:“I think getting eight hours of sleep…” 這個結構適合用在多種情境中,使自己的意見更加明確。
- 另外, “I would love to” 表達了一種願望,示範瞭如何用更積極的方式表達想做的事。像 “I would love to go back to China” 可以被用來引匯出更多的討論內容。
- 還有, “what I mean by” 是一種解釋說明的方式,可以幫助澄清某些概念。例如:“what I mean by vacation…” 這種用法使得對話更加流暢。
- 最後, “I want to” 表達了目標或計劃,非常適合用於設定個人目標的場合,像 “I want to eat healthy and gain more muscle”。這種目標導向的表達有助於學習者清晰地闡述未來的願望。
常見發音陷阱
在影片中,可能會有一些發音罕見或容易混淆的詞。例如,“vacation”和“rest”這兩個詞的發音需要特別注意,學習者容易在快速說話時忽略重音。可以通過反覆練習,嘗試使用shadow speech的方法來糾正這些發音問題。同時,在口語中保持恰當的節奏和語調也能讓表達更加清晰。通過練習這些表達,你可以在提高英語發音的同時增強整體口語流利度,在雅思口語中更具競爭力。
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構,並附上影片中的原話:
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼,而不是誰做的 | being said · was really caught · is meant |
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | I've written · I've realized · have wanted |
什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
