My New Semester Resolution (Final Draft)

Resisting the temptation of surfing the Internet when I do assignments is my new semester resolution. As a result of surfing the Internet for fun at work time, I got poor grades last semester and felt shameful with that. Consequently, learning how to conquer the temptation of Internet at work time is essential, and I believe I would profit from the resolution.

When I was working, I wasted time doing irrelevant trifles such as chatting on MSN and using Facebook. I have to admit that chatting on MSN was my Achilles’ heel. I was addicted to chatting on MSN; therefore, I was always unaware that the time slipped unconsciously. Besides, I used Facebook frequently to browse friends’ message and play games; however, I was incapable to help myself but stick to the game world. Undoubtedly, spending too much time on Internet at work time made me lose the ability in taking advantage of time.

In order to get rid of the temptation of Internet when I am working, I will try two methods to improve this vicious circle. The first is going to McDonald to do computer-needed assignments. In McDonald, I will be unable to surf the Internet; consequently, I may concentrate on finishing the assignments. The second priority is finishing assignments at school workroom. Although I can use Internet there, the atmosphere is tense and competitive; therefore, I may devote myself to approach my works efficiently. With the two “antidotes”, I may quit the shortcoming and develop the willpower step by step.

Although fulfilling not-to-surf-on-Internet-for-fun-at-work-time resolution is difficult, it is time to start. After finding my new semester resolution and the solutions, I determine to perform the plans written above. If I could obey perfectly, I believe I can achieve what I want ─ making good use of time when I am working.

My Happiness

     Having a sweet tooth is my born happiness (or a sweet hell) that I can never escape from. When I was child, I was a slave belonged to sweetmeat. I could be gladly demanded to do any kind of the housework in order to get a piece of chocolate or biscuits. I cannot forget how beautiful, joyful, and inconceivable the feeling was when the sweetmeat was in my mouse the first time. It did put the forever favor on my time like a spell and made me want the sweet feeling more and more! Until now, I cannot get rid of the temptation of the sweetmeat; moreover, I always put a piece of chocolate in my backpack. Every time I take the chocolate out, I always share it with my friends. When they get a piece of chocolate, it is like a magic that spread all their faces a satisfied and joyful smiles. Anyway, no matter having sweet dessert alone or sharing with people, having a sweetmeat is my love-the-most happiness.

My New Semester Resolutions (second draft)

I failed in managing work time last semester, so I decide to make up my mind to manage time correctly this year. Undoubtedly, wasting time can do nothing meaningful but end up in a terrible result. Therefore, I prefer being benefitted by using time well than being highly embarrassed.

I spent much time on surfing on the internet. When I was on the Internet, I usually wasted my time on some trifles such as checking emails or reading e-paper. In addition to those, to be frank, watching PPS TV was one of my most favorite activities; however, when the plot was tense, I cannot help myself but continue to watch until the film was over. Besides, using Facebook to play flash games did make me pass time unconsciously but still did nothing. Nonetheless, I could do nothing when chatting on MSN. Chatting on MSN was my Achilles’ heel. I was addicted to chatting on MSN; therefore, I was always unaware that the time slipped like a thief that escaped without a noise. Therefore, spending too much time on the Internet made me get horrible grades last semester and lose the ability in controlling myself.

In order to use time efficiently, I find two solutions to get rid of the Internet. First, go to M’cDonald to do assignments. In M’cDonald, I am unable to surf on the Internet; thus, I can concentrate on the work I should finish. The next way is chatting with my classmates as much as possible when I am in the school. Talking to classmates face to face can reduce the sense of loneliness; thus, I will want to say nothing anymore on MSN after school.

After finding my new semester resolutions and finding the solutions, I think it is time to start this new plan. If I could obey what I type above, I believe I can fulfill what I want ─ managing time efficiently.

My New Semester Resolutions (first draft)

I failed in managing time last semester, so I want to learn and start to manage my free time this year. I spent too much time on internet for watching PPS TV and playing Facebook flash games when I was free; therefore, I always burned the night oil to finish the assignments and sometimes. As I could expect, the quality of the assignments finished in hurry was awful! So I determine to use my free time efficiently this year if possible!
