hello I’m Emma
from English well it’s a brand new year
2018 has just started just a few hours
ago if there’s one thing that you can be
certain of at the beginning of a new
year it’s that anything is possible
you have 12 full months ahead of you to
reach your goals and to turn your dreams
into a reality
whether those dreams are about English
about travel starting a family work
going to university there’s nothing
wrong with a bit of optimism and
positive energy to get ready to take
action this year I hope that you’re
sharing your goals with your friends and
family it’s a really great way to make
sure they happen by talking about them
by setting expectations I’m sure that
you’re sharing good thoughts and
positive energy with your family and
friends encouraging them to improve or
to try something different
I know because that’s the kind of person
you are so in this lesson I’m going to
share some common English expressions
that will help you to talk positively
about the coming year
so get ready to share some smiles my
friends this is going to be a great
lesson burst up there are some pretty
fabulous adjectives that you could be
using fabulous obviously which means
extremely good incredible which is also
used to say something is extremely good
amazing used to say that something is
really enjoyable and spectacular which
is used to say that something is
extremely impressive or exceptional
which is used to say
that something is extremely good or
impressive but in an unusual or a unique
way now
notice which syllable is stressed in
these words almost all of them are
stressed on the second syllable fabulous
is the only exception but this is
especially important when you want to
emphasize the meaning of a word and to
make it stronger you push down on the
stressed syllable push down harder on it
try it with me
fabulous incredible amazing spectacular
exceptional you’re going to have a
spectacular year this is going to be an
incredible year you had an exceptional
year last year and this one will be even
better something that I do a lot is I
add adverbs to sentences just like this
to really show how enthusiastic I am and
how positive my message is so I might
say wildly or absolutely or incredibly
with my adjectives and my now I want to
have a wildly successful year I hope it
will be an incredibly fulfilling year
for you now this is unnecessary but if
you’re feeling extremely positive and
excited you can imitate my expression
another great tip is to use adverbs to
show that you’re really sure of
something it’s definitely going to be an
exciting year it’s certainly going to be
interesting
here are some other common expressions
that will help you to spread positive
thoughts at this time of year it’s
shaping up to be a good year
you can insert any adjectives here it’s
shaping up to be a busy year it’s
shaping up to be an exciting year the
phrasal verb shape up is often used to
suggest that something is developing in
a certain way it seems likely it’s
shaping up to be a scorching week this
week a hot week so here shaping up tells
us that the last couple of days have
been warm and the weather is predicted
to get even hotter it’s shaping up to be
a scorching week this year is going to
be your best yet
this is a really positive expression
that’s used to say that of all of the
years so far in your life this one will
be the best this year is going to be
your best year yet I’ve got a good
feeling about this year if you’ve got a
good feeling about something it means
that you’re positive and you’re
optimistic about what’s to come I’ve got
a good feeling that this year is going
to be as exciting as the last to set
your mind to something or to put your
mind to something now this means that
you’re determined to do or to have
something okay you can do it if you set
your mind to it you can become healthier
if you set your mind to it
she’ll get the promotion if she sets her
mind to it if she focuses on it now once
a friend or a colleague explains their
plans or their dreams for the year ahead
then you can wish them good luck by
saying all the best fingers crossed this
is a way of saying that you hope that
everything goes well for them I’ll keep
my fingers crossed for you another
expression that is quite informal quite
colloquial is to say exciting times
ahead or I’ll be cheering for you you’ll
be showing your support and encouraging
that person hoping that they reach their
goals I’ll be cheering for you this year
absolutely but do you know what
sometimes things aren’t always excellent
they could be difficult or boring or
painful so you might need to say
something reassuring like this year will
be better than last year you’re on the
right path which means you’re heading in
the right direction all of your hard
work will pay off in the end
