New Year’s Resolutions

Towards the end of each year British like to make a short list of things they wish to change about themselves. They make a promise to themselves (a resolution) to keep to these changes. Popular new year’s resolutions are to stop smoking, drink less, do exercise, study more etc.

日本でお正月に‘今年の目標’を定める人がいるように、イギリス人は年の暮れに、来年の自分自身への約束事をリストにします。よくある目標は、禁煙、酒量を減らす、運動をする、勉強など、日本と変わりませんね。
