The Internet says the year 2014 will be the best year ever for most of us. This year will be the year whenwe all start making progress with our plans. It is a great time to finally get around to doing the things you keep putting off. In particular, 2014 is the perfect year to start exercising and getting in shape. Itis also the right time to start eating healthier food. The Internet also found that 2014 is ideal for people to help other people, especially people they do not know. Millions of people around the world are in need. They do not have enough food to eat and the water they drink is often not clean. Many children cannot go to school or get medicine when they are sick. The year 2014 is the time to help these people more.
The Internet also hopes there will be happier stories in the news. People are tired of wars, mass shootings, bombs and bad leaders. We can all help to make sure there are happier stories in the news. There are many small things we can all do to make the world a better place. We can change our lifestyle a little to help the environment. This means recycling more and using electricity less. We can also start doing voluntary work in our local community. This will help the volunteers and the projects they work with. Some of the biggest problems in the world are because of leaders who care more about staying in power than helping their people. The Internet could help people change these leaders.
中文翻译
网上称对于绝大部分人来说，2014年将是有史以来最棒的一年。在这一年中，我们的计划初见成效。之前不想干的事情该开始干了。2014年是参加锻炼，保持体形的最佳时刻。开始食用健康食物吧。网络称2014年是助人为乐的理想年月，特别是帮助那些陌生人。全球有上百万人需要帮助。没有充足的食物，没有清洁的水源。许多儿童无法获得教育，生病时无法就医。2014年，是时候对他们给予关心了。
网络还希望新闻中应该出现更多让人兴奋的新闻。人们对报道战争、枪杀、爆炸以及领导人不作为的新闻感到了厌倦。我们也能够对新闻作出我们的贡献。我们可以从小事做起来让世界变得更加美好。只要在我们的生活方式中做一些小小的改变，我们就能够改变环境。这就意味着增加可循环利用，少用电子产品。我们也可以在社区中当志愿者。这将对志愿者的工作提供帮助。世界上的许多重大问题都是因为领导人的不作为而产生的，他们更热衷于掌握手中的权利。互联网能够帮助人们改变领导人的行为。
