The New Year and Its Influence on People's Lives
No matter what country, culture or religion, New Year has been always one of the most exciting events in people's lives.
But what makes it so valuable?
I think that people need a distinct marker of the passage of time. They need an end, and then a beginning – in business, private life, studies, or health. One person may want to start his own business, another to find a better job or to find one at all.
Starting over is very important because you can forget your previous failures and mistakes and start everything from scratch.
The second reason is that new ideas and plans always come with the next year. Everybody needs a second chance.
We all are people with our weaknesses, but starting again with the new year gives us a fresh breath.
Have you met your goals in 2016? Now is a good time to set up new ones.
I personally have done it already.Notes: Try not to use "that" as a pronoun in your writing. In speech, using "that" is extremely common and acceptable. In writing, it is ambiguous and not very good technique. Also, watch your punctuation and word choice. Finally, when you list things, make sure the listed things are all of the same "type." This grammar point is known as "maintaining parallel structure in lists" (http://www.chompchomp.com/terms/iteminaseries.htm). Nice job tackling an abstract and challenging topic!

Ken and his friend were hiking. They heard someone screaming behind the bushes. They decided to help, but when they arrived, a murderer had already killed a ranger by a handgun. Ken cautiously grabbed his cell phone & took a picture of the murderer. Ken's phone rang, & the murderer saw them. The two friends realized the gravity of the situation. Ken squeezed his friend's hand & ran away. He tried to call the police countless times, but he couldn't get through to them. He also couldn't reach the station because of rough terrain. The murderer was screaming that he would spare them if they didn't tell the police.The next day, Ken & his friend heard from the news that the police caught someone & were searching for eyewitnesses. Ken decided to uncover the truth. His friend was on board. When they went to the police station, Ken's friend reconsidered the idea of telling the police. He was afraid and ran away. Ken told the officer the whole story, but the officer didn't believe him. The upside was that Ken had a tangible evidence: the picture on his friend's phone. When Ken asked his friend about that picture, he denied any recollection of it The next day the murderer got out. He was searching for Ken & his friend. Ken resented his friend for not telling the police.
Watch your spaces. There is a space after punctuation and not before. Also, place your adverbs as close as possible to the word they are modifying. Make sure your pronoun usage is clear. i.e. make sure the reader can easily tell who "he" or "it" is. Finally, just make sure your flow of ideas makes sense. I greatly modified some of your sentences to make them more logical. Clarity is a part of grammar.

What an incredible car! It must've cost the earth!Note: Must've is very casual and usually should not appear in writing. Also, trust me that "cost the earth" is a highly unusual and slightly awkward saying. You could say "cost an arm and a leg" instead.
We are hearing the earth-shattering news about Donald Trump's win.
Can someone give me more examples, please? Thank you.She had an earth-shattering revelation about her life purpose.
