cutting down on something, or even quitting something.

This year is going to be

better than last year. I am going to work and live a good life. First,

I have decided to learn how to drive because my daughter is going to secondary school and needs lifts
every day. I am also planning to get in shape and go on a diet as well as joining a health club. I am
also going to jog every morning. That is not all; I intend to live a healthier life. I plan to stop eating a
lot of sweet stuff and junk food. What is more, I will eat more fruit and vegetables. I am not only
going to worry about my health, I am also going to live a happier life with my family. I am planning to
go on trips with them like going to Disney land. I am determined to keep my resolutions and hopefully
this time next year I will be proud of myself.
