What are your goals in 2021?

For me, the most important thing in 2021 is that I really want to speak fluently in English. I will try to use a 100% effort to get this goal. If I can do it well, it’s will help me move my career forward in the next coming year. By the way, I also want to spend a gap year in the foreign country in few years after.

Usually, I would like to make travel plans as a goal in the year, but I don’t know what time we can be free to go everywhere. So go to Nice in France is my goal in 2020, now I will still take it in 2021.

Revised: 

For me, the most important thing in 2021 is that I really want to speak English fluently. I will try to make an effort/put in 100% of my energy to reach this goal. If I can do it well, it will help me to move my career forward in the next coming year. By the way, I also want to spend a gap year in a foreign country a few years after.

Usually, I would make travel plans as my goal for the year, but I don’t know when we will be free to go anywhere/travel. So going to Nice in France was my goal in 2020, but now I will still take it to 2021.
