Do you know what a resolution is? Its a kind of promise. Most of the time, we make promises to other people. (Mom, I promise Im 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 Years 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.2. 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. _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._3. 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. Sometimes people just forget about them. For this reason, some people say the best resolution is to have no resolutions!
