New Year's Eve has always been a time for looking back to the past and, more importantly, forward to the coming year. It's a time to reflect on the changes we want (or need) to make and resolve to follow through on those changes. The beginning of a new year is a great time to begin something new. You have the momentum and excitement of the fresh new year to help you carry out new plans to improve your life or to make it more enjoyable.
Listen to these kids making some New Year's Resolutions and try to fill in the blanks below the video.
Then write a comment with your answers and add two New Year's Resolutions of your own. Notice some expressions you can use to express resolutions: I plan on (-ing)/ I plan to…/ I aim to…/ It’s my goal to…/ I've promised myself that…/ I'm going to.../ I intend to...
