   14 Self-improvement 1-upgrating your life

If you are given some money to fix up your residence 2, your apartment or house,what would you do?Would you get some new wall-paper?would you get some new light fixtures 3? would you get some new furniture? these kinds of things are called home improvements 4.

If you are given time and money to upgrate yourself, what would you do?learning 5 a new language?exercise more?buy some new shoes?go on a diet?take up a new hobby?take sing lessons?what do you think about self-improvement?

I love trying to do new things, or learning new skills, I love the feelings of learning something new, it makes me feel like I am a complete person. and it doesn't have to be something big either, it could be something small, but still important.For example, I have been thinking about going to the dentist for a long time,but I get up to courage and actually went the other day. It was nice to finally have my teeth cleaned.

Anyway, these things are all related 6 to self-improvement.

5)Do you have any relationships that could be improved?
