John: In the new year I will try to work harder. I will review lessons every day and spend less time playing computer games. I will also try to lose weight.

Jim: My big plan this year is to release (发行) my own music CD in the summer. I've written over 10 songs, most of them are about the environment, school and friends. I've also recorded one song, but it's not perfect. I will do it again later.

Andy: I need to do more sports, like playing basketball, so that I can lose some weight and grow stronger this year. I will also practice hard to improve my spoken English and Spanish (西班牙语).

Maria: I will work harder this year to try to get into the top 10 of my class. As a member of our school's pistol shooting (手枪射击) team, this year I will practice more. I will try to win a prize at the city competition.

Lily: I will visit my grandparents more often this year and bring them their favorite food. I hope they will be healthy. I will also listen to and learn more English songs so that I can improve my spoken English.
