Be a better me
However long a vacation is, we always want a few days more. Since our holiday is already over, we'll have to pick up the threads of our study.
The new semester is a time for resolutions. From primary school, teachers always ask us to write a new semester resolution. We could compile basically the same lists of 'dos' and 'don'ts' year in year. Most of us fail in our efforts at self-improvement because our schemes are too abstract and ambitious. So I decide to make some practical plans.
Firs of all, I will keep on the habit of reading. Knowledge is never more than enough. Especially in the graduate student stage, reading professional books extensively and thoroughly is necessary. I have been reading two or three books half a month since last semester. But there is little spare time this semester, it seems I must arrange my time first.
What's more, improving English is also in my plan. I was disappointed by my English mark last semester. It may affect the scholarship. Besides I’m to take the TOEFL test in this summer vacation.
Finally, it is time for taking a detailed plan for the future. Some relatives and friends often ask me about my career objective, I hope I can response them definitely next time.
It's easier said than done. Except resolutions, what matter are actions. I will do my best to carry them out and be a better me before next year.
第二篇：大学生新学期计划(英文)
Although I’m still a freshman in this new semester, I’ve learned a lot from the past few months. I chose English as my major because I extremely love this subject so that I will continuously devote myself into it. Maybe I’ve got not bad gradeslast term and it indeed inspired me to get more progress in the future. But what I know is that it’s still a long way to achieve my ultimate goal and I need to make great efforts. My dream is to be a translator, especially a simultaneous interpreter, but I knew it’s not easy to realize due to my limited knowledge now. So I need to work step by step.
Now it comes to my recent goals. Firstly, to be honest, I’m not good at oral English and English listening, I have to take a great deal of practice. What I plan is listening to the MP3 in order to imitate the foreigners’ accent and speak more in English. At the same time, I will do a lot of News dictation and English listening and comprehension to improve my skills. Secondly, to prepare the CET4 and the 2014National English Contest for College Students, I intend to memorize all the words in my vocabulary book within two or three months and finish my exercise books. Thirdly, I want to maintain my academic of my specialized course or do more better than ever before by working harder. Finishing my assignments and notes is what I need to insist on every day.
Just like the old saying goes, “Nothing is impossible to a willing heart”. I have a strong belief that I can realize my dream as long as I persist in it and study hard with plenty of time and patience.
