It is now 2019!! Happy New Year all!
When it comes to the New Year, we will definitely think about New Year Resolutions, which in Chinese is 新年计划 (xīnnián jìhuà).
Let's explore some of the common New Year Resolutions in Chinese.
1. To exercise more: 多运动 (duō yùndòng)
2. To lose weight: 减肥。(jiǎnféi.)
3. To eat healthier: 饮食健康 (yǐnshí jiànkāng)
These are the common New Year Resolutions for most people. However, for Mark Zuckerberg’s New Year’s resolutions, you will find that it is different from the common man. In 2010 his wish was simple: to learn Mandarin 学习汉语 (xuéxí hànyǔ).
Of course, he has taken active steps to improve his Mandarin as he understands the importance of learning Mandarin now. He has now new resolutions. His resolution for 2017 was: He wished to visit and meet with people from every state in the United States by the end of 2017.
他的新年愿望是在2017年年底前到访美国各州，与各州民众见面。
