How to Make the Time for Your Personal Goals

One of the biggest challenges in trying to achieve any personal goal is that we want to put them off until tomorrow, or next week, in order to finish more important things at work and home. Maybe the following can help you find the time for your personal goals.

1.Make one goal at a time

Often the problem is that you try to make too many goals at once. You have a list of things you want to finish and because of that you never start. It’s very difficult to pay attention to too many goals at once. So catching one goal at a time is enough.

2. Be sure you really want it

It’s not enough to say, “It would be nice to learn French” or “It would be cool to do yoga(瑜伽) every morning”. It has to be something you really want. Ask yourself why you want to achieve this goal, and how much you want it.

3.Show that You’re serious

Tell as many people as you can about your goal. Write down your goal carefully. If you can’t even write it down, you’re not serious. Then write out a plan, with dates and actions. Think about problems, and write down your ways to solve them. The plan shows you’re serious.

4.Make it your top task

You all have many things to do in your lives, from school or work to family. If you put all these first, you won’t ever find the time for your goal. Instead, if we make our goal our top task, we’ll make the time.

With these steps, your goals surely come true.

The survey found that girls like to read outside more than boys at all age levels.

Overall, girls like reading better than boys, according to the figures compiled(匯編) by the trust. Boys seldom read books and think it less important to read, while girls have opposite opinions.

Nearly one pupil in four agreed with the statement: “My parents don’t care if I spend any time reading.” Jonathan Douglas, director of the National Literacy Trust, said: “More must be done to help parents realize what a difference reading with their children from a young age can make to their future.” “Parents needed to be told how important their engagement is for a child’s development.”

Cressida Cowell, the author of How to Train Your Dragon and a national literacy ambassador（代表）, said: “Reading a book with a child, even an older child, is one of the most important things a parent can do to develop their child’s literacy（讀寫能力）.

“I like to read a variety of books with my children and I think reading regularly is the key to writing well and broadening(擴(kuò)大) communication skills.”

“Too many boys still seem uninterested in reading, and far, far too many children simply never become readers at all. So we writers and painters and storytellers, and parents and teachers, and publishers and booksellers, must continue to play our part,” said Michael Morpurgo, whose novel War Horse was one of the most popular books.

In 1971, an aeroplane crashed in the Amazon jungle in Peru (秘魯). Only one person survived. She was a 17-year-old German girl called Juliane Koepke. When the plane crashed, Juliane fell through the trees and landed on the ground. She did not wake up for a day. When she did, she had a terrible headache and a bad cut on her arm, but she could walk. She stood up and started to look for help.

Soon Juliane realized that she was by herself in the jungle. She needed to find her way to a town or village, but how could she do that? She knew that the aeroplane had crashed in the middle of the largest jungle in the world.

Fortunately, Juliane knew something about the jungle. Her parents were scientists. They were studying the jungle in Peru, and that is where Juliane grew up. She knew that the most important thing was to find fresh water.

When Juliane found a stream, she followed it in the direction that the water was moving. She knew that the stream would become a river, and there were often villages near a river. It wasn’t an easy journey for her. She walked for days. She often had to walk or swim through dangerous water full of crocodiles. When the animals attacked her, she fought them with a stick.

Rescue planes were looking for people who were still alive after the accident, but after ten days, they decided to give up. They knew that they would never find anybody. Two days later, Juliane Koepke walked out of the jungle, hungry and very tired, but alive.
