Do you know
what a resolution is? It's a kind of promise. Most of the time, we make promises
to other people ("Mom, I promise I'm going to tidy my room when I get back
from school. ")However, promises you make to yourself are resolutions, and
the most common kind is New Year's resolutions. The start of the year is often
a time for making resolutions. When we make resolutions at the beginning of the
year, we hope that we are going to improve our lives. Some people write down
their resolutions and plans for the coming year. This helps them to remember
their resolutions Others tell their family and friends about their wishes and
plans.
There are
different kinds of resolutions. Some are about physical health. For example,
some people promise themselves they are going to start an exercise program or
eat less fast food. Many resolutions have to do with self-improvement. These
are about making yourself a better person. Some people might say they are going
to take up a hobby like painting or taking photos, or learn to play the guitar.
Some resolutions have to do with better planning, like making a weekly plan for
schoolwork For example, a student may have to find more time to study.
Although there
are differences, most resolutions have one thing in common. People hardly ever
keep them! There are good reasons for this. Sometimes the resolutions may be
too difficult to keep; Sometimes people just forget about them. For this
reason, some people say the best resolution is to have no resolutions! How
about you—will you make any next year?
