Sarah: Hey, Alex! How's it going?
Alex: Hey, Sarah! I'm good, thanks. Just been thinking about setting some personal goals lately.
Sarah: Oh, really? What kind of goals are you thinking about?
Alex: Well, I've heard about this concept called SMART goals. Have you heard of it?
Sarah: Yeah, I have! It stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound, right?
Alex: Exactly! I was thinking of applying that to my goals to make them more achievable. Do you want to help me brainstorm?
Sarah: Of course! What's your first goal?
Alex: I want to improve my English skills. It's been a goal of mine for a while now.
Sarah: That's a great goal! Let's make it SMART. How can we make it specific?
Alex: Hmm, maybe I could aim to increase my vocabulary by learning five new words every day.
Sarah: Perfect! And how can we make it measurable?
Alex: I guess I could keep track of the words I learn in a notebook or an app.
Sarah: Great idea! And is it achievable for you to learn five words every day?
Alex: Yeah, I think so. It might take some time, but it's definitely doable.
Sarah: Awesome! And why is improving your English skills relevant to you?
Alex: Well, I'm planning to study abroad next year, so being fluent in English would be really helpful.
Sarah: That makes sense! Lastly, how can we make this goal time-bound?
Alex: Maybe I could set a deadline, like aiming to reach a certain number of new words learned by the end of each month.
Sarah: That sounds like a solid plan! Your goal of improving your English skills is now SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound.
Alex: Thanks for helping me out, Sarah! I feel more confident about reaching my goal now.
Sarah: No problem, Alex! I'm here to support you every step of the way. Let me know if you need any more help.
