It was full of her wishes and goals for the year in pictures and words. I thought what a great idea and decided to make one for myself (it really makes you reflect on your life). And then I came up with the idea that this would be a brilliant activity for my students to practise their presentation skills!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has been great seeing and talking about all your vision boards over the past few weeks and now I\u2019ve had my next brainwave. How about making one with your goals in English? What could you put on it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A picture of your dream destination<\/strong> \u2013 Do you want to visit London? New York? Put up a photo to remind yourself why you\u2019re learning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A list of words to learn<\/strong> \u2013 You could use post-it notes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A list of fun ways to practice<\/strong> \u2013 Like watching TV shows with English subtitles, singing along to your favorite songs, or talking to your pet in English (they won\u2019t judge).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A \u201cdaily challenge\u201d section<\/strong> \u2013 Add post-it notes with tasks such as \u201c<em>Learn 5 new idioms<\/em>,\u201d \u201c<em>Write a short story<\/em>,\u201d or \u201c<em>Speak only English for one hour<\/em>.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A reminder to talk to real people<\/strong> \u2013 Online language exchanges, English-speaking meetups, or just practising with a friend.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you got any ideas? When you\u2019re done, put it up somewhere where you\u2019ll see it daily and be reminded of your good intentions.
