Why is ‘Goal-Setting’ Important?

Mrs Ivy:
thanks for your teaching. I’m glad to surf on your website. I found that this site suits me well. Last month, I made a plan to do some work when I finish classes and prepare to pass the band 3 English examination. Today, I have to attend a computer class outside the school because I decided to do a computer examination. Meanwhile, I ‘d like to visit your website. Your advise is very true and suits us. I sometimes feel that I should do more English practice. Other than that, my life is very full and wonderful. So happy to see the clear goals for us. I’ll plan my life to be more active and to have a good point of view on study.
