Happy new year everyone! And welcome back to Time for English. Kaori and I are truly happy to have you with us again.

Now. Let's start off the new year by talking about New Year's resolutions as we always do.

A New Year's resolution is a promise that you make to yourself to start doing something good or stop doing something bad on the first day of the year. Remember, it's a goal, not a wish. It has to be something you would strive for.

Popular goals include resolutions to eat better, drink less, quit smoking; save money, learn something new: spend more time with family, or these days, spend less time on social media.

If you haven't made any new year's resolutions yet, you may want to make one in English. I'll give you some more ideas about new year's resolutions on our website. So, make sure to come visit us on Thursday.

Thank you again for coming back to us. We're always here to help you learn, improve and enjoy English. So, stay with us. See you next time.
