It's October 30th. You can say that it is close to the end of 2008, so I'll plan a lot of things to do this year. First, I'll study very hard, especially to improve my grammar because I always have trouble with it whenever I speak to people. They don't understand what I'm talking about. Also, I'll try hard to improve my vocabulary. That would help me to speak more smoothly. Second, I'll cut down on playing golf because when you play 18 holes, it takes five hours. Furthermore, you have to drive to and from the golf course. It takes too much time. Third, I'm going to sell my apartment complex because I spend too much time there. The worst thing about renting apartments is that when you rent to bad people, they break things. Then they say they won't pay rent because you won't make the repairs. When this happens, you have to take them to court and spend a lot of time. Whatever happens, I'm going to study very hard this year. I hope that by the end of the year, I can really speak English well.
