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 wish 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! Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep. There are good reasons for this. 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?

III. Read for “How”
How do I keep my resolutions? Underline(划线) the ways.
I didn’t like doing sports. I spent most of my free time staying at home to read and sleep. At the end of last year, there was something wrong with my body. I went to the doctor. After checking, the doctor told me that I got sub-healthy(亚健康). So at the beginning of this year, I made a resolution to do more exercise. At first, I couldn’t keep my resolutions. However, I felt worse and worse. I knew I must do something to keep my resolutions. First, I wrote down my resolution on a card and put it on the door. This could help me remember my resolution. Second, I made a weekly plan for running. Third, I was strong-willed(意志力坚强的) enough to control(控制) myself when I was lazy. Last, I asked my family to help me when I needed. Now, I am much healthier than before. What’s more, I love running now!
