JANIPIRIYA |
MONICA |
|
Exactly at
midnight I’d like to set off the fireworks.

I hope FOR
a new year with much happiness and serenity .
|
|
On that day
I’d like to do social service such as giving money, dresses and food to
poor people.
I’d also
like to see some snow in this city! |
I hope THIS
new year will be better than last year.
|
|
I am expecting 2008 to be a
fortunate year for me so that I’d like to have more self confidence and
I’d like to be promoted.
|
I hope to
GET BACK very good results at school. |
|
I expect that there be any
natural disaster and wars around the world.
|
I hope to
travel with my classmates.
