140107] Mion's 2014 resolution 1. Cooking. I am not good at cooking. It takes me, the novice cook too much time to prepare the ingredients and to cook. My mom and many good cooks know what they make with vegetables when they see them in markets, which I can't. This year I will try my best to make at least three side dishes a week and to minimize eating out like three times a month. 2. English. I'd like to pass the teacher's exam this year but that is not my ultimate goal. My real goal is to speak English fluently. It is not easy to meet native English speakers in person so I will try my best to visit here, italk and write a journal everyday. Keeping writing in English and getting a feedback from natives would be very helpful for my English skills. I am so excited to find this site! :) If I read news articles and make a comment about it, it will also be reading practices. In addition, I will listen to one English song everyday and memorize it. That's all for the resolution version 1. There is a saying that it usually lasts only 3 days when we make a decision. Besides, too many plans might be so burdensome that I give up easily, so I will try those three things for a start. According to what I remember, it would take at least three months to set a habit for sure. I hope I can keep up those until the end of 2014. :)
