  9. Moving on… • Every New Year’s Day, people all over the world make resolutions for the new year. • A resolution is a promise you make to yourself that you will achieve something good for yourself that year. • For example, you might make a resolution to lose weight, to manage your time well or to curb a bad habit that year.

  10. On page 2 of your handout… • In another paragraph, write about a New Year’s resolution that you made. • What was the resolution? • Why did you make it? • How did people around you react when you made the resolution?

  18. It’s the feeling that counts… • After we break our resolution, we often feel really lousy. • In the last paragraph, describe how you felt after you broke your resolution. • If you kept your resolution, then describe how you felt when you resisted the temptation to break it.
