New Year – New You?
It’s the 31st of December. Tomorrow is the start of
a new year. For many people this is a good time to
choose some personal goals. We asked five people
about their New Year’s resolutions. Here’s what
they told us.
‘I can’t think of any New Year’s resolutions. I’m
very happy being me. I don’t want to change
anything. No, I am OK. I love my job, I like where I
live and I love my family. It’s all good.’ Audrey, 65
‘I work in a bank, but I hate thinking about money
all the time. I’m going to look for a completely
different sort of job this year. I’d like to help others
in some way.’ Nuria, 26
‘I always have lots of plans at the start of a new
year. This year I’m going to go to the gym three
times a week. I’d really like to get fit. I’m going to
go swimming every Sunday because I love doing
that. I’m going to stop eating chocolate and I’m not
going to drive to work. I’m going to go by bike.’
Bjorn, 29
‘I’m not going to make any New Year’s resolutions
this year. Last year I made about five New Year’s
resolutions but I couldn’t keep any of them! It was
too difficult! It was the same the year before that …
and the year before that!’ Stef, 32
‘I’m going to learn to swim. I didn’t have lessons
when I was a child and I don’t like being in the
water. But now I have my own children, I think it’s
important for me to learn.’ Martin, 28
