E: Καλημέρα Δανάη! Καλή χρονιά! / Good morning, Danai! Happy New Year!

D: Καλή χρονιά Έμιλυ! Ευτυχισμένος ο καινούριος χρόνος! / Happy New Year, Emily! Wishing you a joyful new year!

E: Πώς πέρασες την Πρωτοχρονιά; / How did you spend New Year's Eve?

D: Πέρασα τέλεια με την οικογένειά μου! Εσύ; / I had a great time with my family! How about you?

E: Κι εγώ! Με οικογένεια και φίλους. Έβαλες στόχους για την καινούρια χρονιά; / Me too! With family and friends. Did you set any goals for the new year?

D: Όχι ακόμα. Εσύ; / Not yet. What about you?

E: Εγώ κάτι έχω αρχίσει να γράφω στη λίστα μου. / I’ve started writing some down on my list.

D: Για πες! Μήπως μου δώσεις κι εμένα καμία ιδέα. / Tell me! Maybe you can give me some ideas.

E: Λοιπόν, πρώτος μου στόχος για το 2025 είναι να τρώω πιο σωστά. / Well, my first goal for 2025 is to eat more healthily.

D: Θα αλλάξεις διατροφή; / Are you going to change your diet?

E: Όχι, προσέχω τι τρώω, αλλά θέλω να κάνω ολοκληρωμένα γεύματα και όχι σκόρπια μέσα στη μέρα. / Not exactly, I’m just being more careful about what I eat. I want to have proper meals instead of eating random things throughout the day.

D: Κατάλαβα, έτσι θα έχεις και περισσότερη ενέργεια κατά τη διάρκεια της μέρας. / Got it, that way you’ll have more energy during the day.

E: Ακριβώς! Εσύ σκέφτηκες τίποτα; / Exactly! What about you, have you thought of anything?

D: Μετά από αυτό που είπες, νομίζω ότι ο πρώτος μου στόχος για την καινούρια χρονιά είναι να αλλάξω το ωράριο του ύπνου μου. / After hearing that, I think my first goal for this year is to change my sleep schedule.

E: Δηλαδή; / What do you mean?

D: Δηλαδή, να κοιμάμαι νωρίτερα το βράδυ και να μην κάθομαι να δουλεύω μέχρι αργά. Να κάνω τις δουλειές μου από νωρίς το πρωί για να έχω χρόνο να ξεκουράζομαι σωστά. / I mean, I want to go to bed earlier and not stay up working until late. I plan to get my tasks done early in the morning so I have time to rest properly.

E: Πολύ καλό μου ακούγεται αυτό! Και υγιές για το σώμα σου! Ο δικός σου στόχος, μου θυμίζει και έναν δικό μου. / That sounds great! And healthy for your body! Your goal actually reminds me of one of mine.

D: Ενδιαφέρον, για πες! / Interesting, tell me!

E: Φέτος, πρέπει να ισορροπήσω τις ώρες της δουλειάς μου με τον προσωπικό μου χρόνο. / This year, I need to balance my work hours with my personal time.

D: Σωστό αυτό! Κι εγώ πρέπει να το κάνω αυτό! / That’s a good one! I need to do that too!

E: Τέλεια! Μπορούμε να βοηθάμε η μία την άλλη και να της υπενθυμίζουμε πότε χρειάζεται ένα διάλειμμα. / Perfect! We can help each other and remind one another when it’s time for a break.

D: Ωραία ιδέα. Μπορούμε να ξεκινήσουμε και τώρα να θες! / Great idea. We can start right now, if you want!

E: Εννοείται! Ώρα για διάλειμμα! / Of course! Time for a break!
