Writing: Unit 8

writing tip

When writing about goals, it's important to use quantifiable language. Use numbers to say exactly what you want to do. Give dates or times for when you want to compete with any actions. This will help you measure your success in achieving your goals. 

Read the following statements. Are the goals quantifiable?

MY EDUCATIONAL GOALS FOR 2018 

Fall Semester
1. Complete all my core requirements.
2. Meet with each of my instructors at least once.
3. Finish the term with an average of 3.0.
Winter break
1. Study for the TOEFL exam
2. Get at least 650 on the exam.

Spring Semester
1. Take courses in English, Tourism, and Business
2. Finish the term with an average of 3.5.
Summer Vacation
1. Decide what my major is going to be.
2. Find a part-time job.
3. Sabe $ 1,000 for the fall tuition.

Write about your educational goals for the coming years. For this you need to plan your goals using a chart first. For this plan consider: 

- a list of 4 short-term goals and 1 long-term goal
- Then list the steps you will take to reach them. 

Use the future "will". Don't forget to create goals that can be quantified! You have to use the following phrases and the format learned in class.
