Ten New Year's Resolutions





Resultado de imagen de ten new year's resolutionsSome people think “new year, new life, new perspective”, you chose if you want to believe it or not. But, I honestly think that most of people believe it, at the beginning of the year you try to change some habits, change your point of view or just try new things. Well, these are my 10 New Year’s resolutions:
Ø  BE POSITIVE
Not everything is like a fairy tale, sometimes bad things happen, so one of my resolutions for 2017 is to stay positive every day in each situation.
Ø  CUT DOWN ON STRESS
I tend to stress very easily, and last year I noticed how bad it was; it was hurting my health, so this year I won’t let stress take control of me again.
Ø  TAKE UP THEATRE CLASSES
Since I was a little girl I wanted to perform in front of people, and I still want to do it. So after talking about it with my mom, the answer is yes!
Ø  BUILD UP STRONGER FAMILIAR RELATIONSHIPS
I’ve been living with my grandma and my sister all my life, they educated me. My parents were always working, but now, even they are divorced, I see them more often. So it’s time to get closer.
Ø  START WORKING OUT MORE SERIOUSLY
It’s been a year since I started working out, last year I went to the gym, but just a month and I didn’t like it. So I did a bit of exercise in the morning and some in the afternoon; this year I want to do  a little more!
Ø  CUT DOWN ON COOKIES AND CHOCOLATE
I’ve never liked chips or sweets, but I really like eating cookies or chocolate while I’m drinking tea. This year I’ll still eat cookies and chocolate but I won’t eat as much as last year. 

Ø  KEEP STUDYING THE SAME WAY
Lately I’ve had good marks, a school and at the academy, so I’m going to do my best to keep having those marks!
Ø  DO WHATEVER I WANT
Sometimes I don’t do what I want because I’m afraid about what the others will think. Well, this year I will do whatever I want without thinking about the other’s  opinions.
Ø  TAKE IT EASY
I won’t try to handle all the problems by myself. I will sort them out with help and not with stress, but I won’t put them off neiter.
Ø  KEEP BEING MYSELF
I’m an easy person to influence, but this year I will be faithful to my principles and I won’t let anybody influence me so easily.

And what are your New Year’s reolutions? J    KRISTINE FRANCH


1. Cut down on using the mobile phone. Reduce the hours with my mobile phone and spend more time with my friends and family without electronic gadgets.

2. Work out in a gym on summer. Do sport everyday about two hours with my friends or alone to build up my resistance and tone my body to show it on the beach.

3. Leave my hair long. For many years I want to have it long but every month I get my hair cut again, but I want that my hair grow about 7cm.

4. Don’t put off the things that I don’t like. Everyone leave the things that they don’t like to do it later, but I want to propose me don’t put them of.

5. Give up listening to music with loud volume because it can damage our hearing forever.

6. Take up to study a new language. For the future is important to know languages if you want to travel around the world or have a work.

7. Build up to play the guitar. About 3 years ago I started to go to classic guitar lessons but now I don’t go and I want to practise what I learned.

8. Go without chocolate. This is one of my weak points because I like it so much but sometimes it is harmful for health or simply in big quantities is bad for our body.

9. Sort out my problems without the help of other people. I think that I’m a little bit grown-up to need help in some aspects of my life, not in all of them, because there will be a day that my parents won’t be next to me.

10. Get over more quickly the things that I don’t want to remember to be happier.

                  These are some of my objectives for this New Year:

Ø SCHOOL
I ought to strive for become better in my worst class subjects. These are English and Catalan, languages aren’t my best subjects.

Ø FAMILY:
I could spend more time with my family because I think that I have them very near me and I don’t take advantage of it.

Ø FRIENDS:
I would like to live a lot of unforgettable moments with them that we will remember it when we are older. I need to live adventures with the most important people for me apart from my family.

Ø PERSONAL:
This injury I have is very important for me and if I want to play basketball again I need to cure it perfectly. So I must work a lot in physiotherapy and at home doing all the things that the doctor recommends me. The recuperation is very long, almost eight months.

Ø SPORT:
Now I can’t practice sport but when I will come back to play basketball, one of my objectives is to get better my mistakes and for do this I have to work very hard.

Ø SPORT:

Ø PERSONAL:
This summer must be the better because I will be able to go to the parties of our town in summer and I should enjoy every day with my friends on the beach. 

Ø ATTITUDE:
I’m a very proud person and it’s very hard for me to ask forgiveness and accept things. So, I think I do have to improve this because are one of my mistakes.

Ø PERSONAL:
I should start enjoying the little moments of my life because I have learned that they seem nothing but with the time you start to valorate this moments and even to miss them.

Ø MYSELF:
My last objective is that this year I must do whatever I want without taking into account other people’s opinion, because the last year I didn’t do some things I would like to do because of that and now I think I made it wrong.  PAULA BAENA

 The New Year has started so it’s time to make my resolutions. I think that the teenagers need to propose a lot of very important resolutions.
          The most important resolution is to cut down on use of the mobile phone because we use it more than we need and that isn’t a good idea. The second one is for the lazy teenagers, I recommend them to give up the bed earlier and don’t go to sleep so late.
It’s also important to work out in your free time, you can go to the gymnasium, the local park or the beach. But if you take up to work out it’s possible that you need to get over from an injury.

          The next resolution is to take up to build up your culture, because in the future you’ll need to know a little bit about the planet where we live.
          Go without bad people and sort out all of your problems can help your mind to be relaxed, listen to music that you like, too. That’s great to try the best solution when you’re in a problem.
        The last resolution is not to put off any work because you can’t work well and quickly at the same time.  MIQUEL TORNER
