Do You Have Any New Year’s Resolutions?

Posted by: Josef Essberger

Looking at the coming year, what will you be doing?

A resolution is something that we “resolve” or “firmly decide” to do. Here are some typical resolutions:

• lose some weight
• stop drinking alcohol
• study English every day
• get up before noon
• stop yelling at strangers

What New Year’s Resolutions will you be keeping next year?
