2025 Resolutions (2): English, English, English...

---

 
I hope to be fluent in English so that I can express my thoughts and feelings clearly, write compelling essays, and apply for graduate schools by the end of this year.
I've always felt like speaking and writing English is difficult homework that I can never complete perfectly.
Even though I've been studying English seriously for six years, talking to someone in English still feels uncomfortable for me.
However, it's time for me to take action proactively and make a fresh start because it's already my third year living in the U.S. I shouldn't waste time blaming my struggles on the language barrier.
Therefore, I'm going to restart my English journal and listening Power English, an English radio show on EBS, regularly. Watching the American series Modern Family is also part of my plan. Once I become more comfortable studying with these materials, I aim to start reading articles from the Economist and ABA Journal and summarize them. 
I've heard that improving English fluency is extremely time-consuming and demanding, especially transitioning from an immediate to an advanced level. Studying while taking care of a baby won't be easy. However, doing something is always better than doing nothing*. Don't be discouraged, and just keep going step by step. By the end of 2025, I believe I will see a better version of myself. 
* Other recommendation: Small steps are better than standing still.
