1. resolutions
2. better
3. watches
4. take
5. too
6. healthily
7. improve
8. grows
9. engineer
10. himself

1. “决心”对应英文为“resolution”，又因为make resolutions为固定搭配（下决心），且前面有some修饰，所以用复数形式resolutions。
2. “更好的”是good的比较级better，这里修饰grades，用better表示比现在更好的成绩。
3. “看”电视用watch，根据前后句时态可知这里是一般现在时，主语she是第三人称单数，所以动词用第三人称单数形式watches。
4. “开始学”是take up，want to do sth.，所以用动词原形take。
5. “也”在肯定句末尾，用too。
6. “健康”在这里修饰动词eat，要用副词healthily。
7. “提高”是improve，want to do sth.，所以用动词原形improve。
8. “成长”是grow，根据前后句时态可知这里是一般现在时，主语Danny是第三人称单数，所以动词用第三人称单数形式grows。
9. “工程师”是engineer，前面有an修饰，用单数形式engineer。
10. “他自己”是himself，by oneself（独自）是固定搭配。
