Are we “a” planner?  This suggests that we are all one entity.  I suspect that “we are planners”, each of us. 

Clearly, we need to have the “article” lecture next week (the use of:  a, an, the). 

Here’s an edit:

As you know,  we are already planners excaim ... We are planners & all of us have to be serious about our duty.  In the future .. I will create new living spaces without any problem,  make {design?} people-friendly towns,  respect the opinions of others & care about them.

I see you posted this AFTER our Monday lecture on punctuation.  For shame!  Is your vow so easily broken?  You have left a space before the commas and periods.  NO SPACES BEFORE THE PUNCTUATION MARK! 

Also, you needed some punctuation either before or after “in the future”.  I couldn’t tell if you were trying to say that “we need to be serious about our duty in the future,” OR “In the future, I will create…” 

When you say you will create new living spaces “without any problem”, do you mean that the living spaces will be problem free, or that you will have no problem in the creation of these spaces?  In either case, you’re dreaming if you think there will be no problems.  Life is a series of problems and solutions.  Planning is all about problem solving, not elimination.  Think about your relationship to “problems”.  What is your philosophy of problems and problem solving? 

I’m glad to see that you will respect the opinions of others and care about them.
