As another year comes to an end , a new beginning awaits and with it ,the promises of new opportunities and possibilities. So, once again , I've decided to make new year's resolutions to improve myself.
My number 1 resolution for 2025 is to spend less time on my phone , on social networks like Tik Tok or X and share more time with my friends and family.
My second resolution is to exercise and get fit 'cause I like eating junk food from time to time but if I don't want to gain too much weight , I must run or go to the gym at least twice a week.
My third resolution is to stop procrastinating , I must be more organized and do the things I have to do immediately instead of putting them off.
Last but not least , I will try to enjoy life , I'll be more grateful for every little things in my life. I hope I can achieve all of them because the problem with resolutions is that you stick to them for a short period of time , they are so difficult to keep that your bad habits take control of yourself again !
And you? Do you make any resolutions? What are yours?
I'm sure you've got some awesome ideas to make this year the best one yet.

I Can’t Wait for Summer,
by Kenn Nesbitt

I can’t wait for summer, when school days are done,
to spend the days playing outside in the sun.
I won’t have to study. No homework, no tests.
Just afternoons spent on adventures and quests.
Instead of mathematics and writing reports,
I’ll go to the park and play summertime sports.
Instead of assignments, report cards, and grades,
I’ll get to play baseball and watch the parades.
I’ll swing on the playground. I’ll swim in the pool
instead of just practicing lessons in school.
The second the school year is finally done
I’ll spend every minute with friends having fun.
I hardly can wait for the end of the year.
I’m counting the days until summer is here.
It’s hard to be patient. It’s hard to be cool.
It’s hard to believe it’s the first day of school.

When I’m overwhelmed by loneliness,
I open a book and find happiness.
Every page is a promise of wonders,
Every word fills life with colours.
Books are keys to wisdom’s treasure,
Books are gates to lands of pleasure,
Books are paths that upward lead.
Books are friends, so let us read
Tales with fabulous things,
Stories with castles and kings,
Poems with beautiful rhymes,
Fables of magical times.
Read them often, read them well,
And the secrets of the world they will surely tell.

Hello, I'm Sally and I have made an important decision.

In 2025, I'm going to CHANGE MY LIFE. I'm going to tell you about my New Year's resolutions.

My first resolution is to stop going shopping. I really like going shopping, I think it's one of my favourite activities. But I spend a lot of money on shoes, bags and clothes every weekend and I really need to stop. I am NOT a millionaire and I want to spend my money on important things.

My second resolution.... Hum... I would like to be more organized. I'm really really absent-minded and extremely messy. Every week I lose something : my keys, my phone. It's horrible.My house is not tidy at all and I need to change that. I never invite friends because I hate dusting, mopping the floor, etc.

My third resolution, hum... Let me see. I think I'm going to travel around the world. I would like to visit China, Spain, France, Australia and I never take the time to do it. My sister lives in Paris so I will also take some time to visit her.

My last resolution is to practice a sport more regularly because I'm really lazy, and I spend too much time watching TV series and action films. So this year, I will do more sport.

Hey I'm Peter !

A new year is beginning and I have decided to CHANGE MY LIFE.

Today I'd like to talk to you about my 4 New Year's resolutions for 2025.

My first resolution is to spend more time with my friends and family because I work a lot and I don't see my friends and family much. I will take some time to play with my children and to go to the cinema with them, and I will try to work less.

My second resolution... Hum... I think I'm going to eat more healthy food because I go to fast food restaurants three or four times a week and I know it's not a good habit. I really love eating , I hate doing the cooking and I usually don't have the time to do the cooking so fast food restaurants are usually the perfect solution for me.

My third resolution... Well... This one is the most difficult for me. I would like to stop smoking. I started smoking when I was 19 years old and now that I am 34 years old, I think it's time for me to stop. I am a very determined person so I think I can do it.

And my last resolution is to learn to play the guitar. I think it's a really cool instrument and I really like singing, so I think I will try and learn how to play it.

John Lennon was born in Liverpool, England, in October 1940, in the middle of a World War II German bomb attack. He grew up there too.
After his father left the family, his aunt Mimi took care of John because his mother died in an accident when he was 17 years old.
When he was 15 John Lennon formed a pop group called the Quarrymen. He also attended art school in Liverpool.
Lennon married Cynthia Powell in 1962, and the following year, they had a son, Julian. However, when he met the artist and musician Yoko Ono, he divorced Cynthia. He married Yoko Ono in 1969. Together, they had a son, Sean.
At the beginning of the 1970s, he left England and went to live in America.
Lennon began a solo career and in 1971 he released his famous song Imagine, which reached number one on music charts all around the world.
In December 1980, he died when Mark Chapman, a fan, shot him five times outside his apartment in New York.
The news of his death devastated fans but his music still inspires people all over the world.

The crabby fox, ashamed of being caught stealing, felt a fierce surge of guilt as the farmer stood surveilling it, forcing the creature to flee into the forest.
