Task 2
1. Why is self-improvement important?
Self-improvement helps us achieve what we want for our future. Without it, we will surely fail.
2. Have you ever tried to improve yourself? If yes, what did you do?
I previously tried taking cold showers because of the supposed health benefit. Every time I had a dark thought, I would immediately jump into the shower and feel the cold water pour over my idea. The freezing stream washed away my negative feelings and left me feeling excited for the rest of the day.
3. What do you currently want to improve about yourself? Why?
I want to become a marathon runner. It is my dream to one day feel the sense of achievement of having run such long distance. It’s my dream to travel the world competing in different marathon competitions. Not only can I improve my fitness, I can also meet friends along the way. Sometimes it's not about the destination, but the journey.
4. What difficulties do people tend to meet with when they try to improve themselves?
The issues people encounter usually come from a lack of motivation. It is easy to start a new type of exercise or just to conserve energy. However, building that habit and routine is more complex. The secret to solving this problem: mental will power. You have to see changes as not just an option to be a slight improvement to your life, but an inevitable desired change.
Task 3
Lucy is thinking about leading a low-carbon life. She believes making lots of small changes to herself can make a big difference for the environment. So she talked with her parents about how to lead a low-carbon life. One thing they started doing is conserving water by reusing the laundry water in their home to protect the planet. She has done this by adding new habits to her routine, such as always remembering to turn off light switches. The family also ride bikes when going out, which helps not only to live a healthier life, but reduces the carbon emissions. Every time she is reminded of the changes she’s made, she is happier in the knowledge that each day will be better than the last.
