As the new year approaches, it's a great time to reflect on the past year and set some goals for the year ahead.
新年临近，正是回顾过去一年、为来年制定目标的好时候。
In this lesson, we will show you how to create your own new year’s resolutions, along with 12 examples of new year’s resolutions for students.
在这一课中，我们将向你展示如何制定自己的新年计划，并提供12个新年计划作为例子。
First of all, what is a new year’s resolution?
首先，什么是新年计划？
A new year’s resolution is a promise you make to yourself to improve your behaviour, and habits or achieve a personal goal for the coming year.
新年计划是你向自己许下的一个承诺，来年要改善自己的行为、习惯或实现个人目标。
People often set New Year's resolutions at the beginning of the year as a way to reflect on the past year and make positive changes for the future.
人们通常在年初制定新年计划，借以回顾过去的一年，也是希望在来年能有所长进。
Examples of common new year’s resolutions include starting to exercise more, eating healthy foods or reading more books.
常见的新年计划包括多锻炼、吃得健康或者读更多的书。
So, how do you write down a successful new year’s resolution?
那么，怎样才算一个成功的新年计划呢？
There are 5 key elements that are needed for a good resolution.
一个好的新年计划需要包含5个要素。
These elements are also known as SMART goals.
这些要素也被称为SMART五要素。
We will now explain each of the elements in more detail.
我们现在将详细地解释每个要素。
The first is to be Specific. Be very clear about what you want to achieve in the coming year.
第一，要具体。要明确你在来年想要实现的目标。
For example, rather than saying to "read more," try setting a specific goal like "read the first Harry Potter book".
比如，与其说“多读书”，不如设定一个具体的目标，比如“读第一本哈利波特”。
This makes it easier to track your progress and determine whether you're on track to achieve your goal.
这样更方便你跟踪自己的进度，确定自己是否正努力实现目标。
The second is to keep it measurable. It's important to set goals that can be measured so you can track your progress.
第二，要可以衡量。设定的目标可以衡量很重要，这样你就可以跟踪自己的进度。
This might mean setting a specific number or target, like "read 3 chapter books," or it could mean setting goals that can be measured in other ways, like "read a book that has at least 350 pages".
你可以设定一个具体的数字作为目标，比如“读3章书”，或者设定一个可以用其他方式衡量的目标，比如“读一本至少350页的书”。
The third element is to make it Attainable. Your goal should be achievable and realistic.
第三，要现实可行。你的目标应该是可以实现的。
It's important to set goals that you believe you can actually achieve, rather than setting yourself up for disappointment.
设定的目标真正能实现很重要，不然反而会让自己失望。
For example, there’s no point in saying you will read 100 chapter books when you haven’t even finished reading 1 book last year.
比如，如果去年你连一本书都没读完，就说你要读100本书，那就是没有意义的。
The fourth element is Relevant. Your resolution should be relevant or related to your own priorities.
第四，要相关。你的计划应该与自己的紧要事情相关。
In other words, it should be personal to you.
也就是说，不同的人有不同的计划。
For example, if you're a student, you might set a resolution related to improving your grades rather than something like travelling the world.
比如，如果你是一名学生，你可能会制定一个与提高成绩有关的计划，而不是像周游世界这样的事情。
The final element is time-bound. It's important to set a specific timeline for achieving your new year’s resolution.
最后，要限定时间。要实现新年计划，制定一个具体的时间表是很重要的。
This might be a specific date, like reading one book by March or even a specific amount of time, such as improving your running speed by 10 seconds.
可以定一个日期，比如在三月份之前读完一本书。也可以定一段时间，比如把自己的跑步速度提高10秒。
