Well, you can have a go at something you've always wanted to do,<br />like painting pictures or climbing mountains.<br />I've decided to do something completely new, write poems.<br />I can do that during my lunch break. Are you planning to try the challenge?<br />Yes, in fact, I already am.<br />I've decided to learn a language that isn't too different from English.<br />So I chose Italian. I'm friends with an Italian and I chat with him a lot.<br />Do you think you'll carry on after the 30 days?<br />Maybe. Or I might try a different language every month.<br />I'm thinking of trying Japanese next.<br />So, Allison, you went to find out about the 30-day challenge.<br />What is it and how does it work?<br />Often, if we try something new, we give up after a week or two<br />because our brain hasn't adapted.<br />According to psychologists, 30 days is about the time it takes to develop a new habit.<br />I see.
