一to learn how to cook
—to save money
—to read more books
—to eat less junk food
—to make more friends or be friendly to others
These resolutions usually begin on January 1st, the first day of the New Year.Often，they are broken within a few weeks, but sometimes they last all the year.
①resolution/ rez lu n /n.决心
②promise/ pr m s /n.许诺；承诺
③involve/ n v lv /v.包括
④break/ bre k /v.中断
⑤last/ lɑ st /v.持续
新年决心！
新年决心是你对自己在新的一年里许的做一些好的事情（或者停止做一些不好的事情）的诺言。当我比较小的时候，这些决心经常包括对我妹妹更好些，或者帮助我妈妈做家务。下面是一些流行的决心：
吃得更健康或者多运动停止一个坏习惯
和家人一起度过更多的时间更加快乐
去某个地方旅行
学一门外语
学习如何做饭
攒钱
读更多的书
少吃垃圾食品
多交朋友，对他人友好这些决心通常在一月一日、新年的第一天开始。它们经常在几个周内中断、但有时它们持续一整年。
