In December or early January, almost everyone wants to plan for a wonderful new year! We

plan vacations, and we hope that any goal can be achieved． We make New Year's resolutions and

set our big goals．If you carry out （执行）your resolution successfully, then you can improve

your life and change bad habits．

What should we do to keep our resolutions? Here are some tips for New Year's resolutions:

Think about the resolutions you made last year．

Have you succeeded? If not, why did you fail? Find out the reasons and try this year．

Don't let the cup spill over（溢出）．

Do not create （创造）too many resolutions at a time．Go with one at a time．

Let it be for a year not a day．
