be talking about 10 phrases that are
6
16359

7
18550
2520
00:21
new year's resolution, resolution is a
8
21070
1980
00:23
special word for goal, the goals that we
9
23050
2489
00:25
set for the new year, what we want to
10
25539
2580
00:28
achieve in one year. So if you set some
11
28119
2880
00:30
goals for yourself in January, maybe you
12
30999
2071
00:33
can think about how you're progressing
13
33070
1440
00:34
towards those goals now, as you watch
14
34510
2490
00:37
this video. So let's start!
15
37000
1340
00:38
Drink less
16
38700
1300
00:40
The first resolution is drink less.
17
40000
2580
00:42
So maybe especially during the holiday
18
42580
1980
00:44
season, maybe you drink a lot of wine, you
19
44560
1920
00:46
drink a lot of beer, you go to a lot of
20
46480
1740
00:48
parties with your friends, maybe one of
21
48220
1980
00:50
your resolutions is to drink less.
22
50200
2460
00:52
In a sentence,
23
52660
1160
00:53
one of my new year's resolutions is to drink less.
24
53820
2860
00:56
Eat healthy
25
56960
1940
00:58
is probably a resolution for many people, in
26
58900
2430
01:01
connection with some related goals, and
27
61330
2610
01:03
you gain a lot of weight, or maybe your
28
63940
1590
01:05
body doesn't feel so good, so you decide
29
65530
2490
01:08
I want to eat healthy this year.
30
68020
2370
01:10
Exercise regularly, The next one is
31
70390
2430
01:12
exercised regularly. Exercise regularly
32
72820
2190
01:15
is a huge one for many people as a new
33
75010
3840
01:18
year's resolution. Exercise regularly,
34
78850
2390
01:21
again, especially following the holidays,
35
81240
2820
01:24
eating a lot, drinking a lot, maybe going
36
84070
2190
01:26
to a lot of parties, you gain some weight
37
86260
1890
01:28
and you want to exercise. This is
38
88150
2310
01:30
especially good in winter months if you
39
90460
2340
01:32
live in a place where it's cold and dark
40
92800
1980
01:34
in January and February, it can be a way to
41
94780
3240
01:38
help you feel energetic and to keep up
42
98020
2250
01:40
your energy levels throughout the winter
43
100270
1590
01:41
months. So in a sentence, I really want to
44
101860
2820
01:44
exercise regularly this year.
45
104680
2549
01:47
Learn something new
46
107229
3591
01:50
so whether it's a
47
110820
1260
01:52
language, like, English, maybe you decided
48
112090
1950
01:54
to practice English this year, or it's a
49
114040
2400
01:56
new hobby, like cooking, or dance, or
50
116440
2670
01:59
swimming, or sports, whatever, photography,
51
119110
3270
02:02
I don't know, you want to learn something
52
122380
1950
02:04
new. If it were me, I would probably
53
124330
1980
02:06
specifically say I'm going to learn (bla),
54
126310
3899
02:10
I'm going to learn (hobby) this year, or
55
130209
3121
02:13
maybe I would say I'm going to start
56
133330
1560
02:14
taking lessons in this hobby this year,
57
134890
2280
02:17
that would be a way to kind of motivate
58
137170
1800
02:18
myself to
59
138970
1390
02:20
do that. I've been thinking about taking
60
140360
1350
02:21
calligraphy lessons, yeah, because my
61
141710
1980
02:23
handwritten Kanji is very bad.
62
143690
3940
02:27
Lose weight
63
147940
1200
02:29
ok, the next one, this is probably the
64
149150
2190
02:31
biggest, most popular, most common new
65
151340
2400
02:33
year's resolution, it is lose weight. Lose
66
153740
2760
02:36
weight, wanting to be a thinner, slimmer,
67
156500
3120
02:39
trimmer, sexier version of yourself. Part
68
159620
3300
02:42
of losing weight is eating healthy,
69
162920
1650
02:44
exercising regularly, drinking less, and
70
164570
3060
02:47
so on. So in a sentence, this year one of
71
167630
2910
02:50
my resolutions is to lose weight.
72
170540
2550
02:53
Quit smoking. This is a very clear goal
73
173090
2610
02:55
that many people have, I think. Quit
74
175700
1830
02:57
smoking many people would like to stop a
75
177530
2550
03:00
bad habit or to stop a vice, so they
76
180080
2670
03:02
decide to, they want to quit smoking in
77
182750
2459
03:05
that year. My brother says he's going to
78
185209
1831
03:07
quit smoking this year. It's one of his new
79
187040
1800
03:08
year's resolutions. My brother doesn't smoke.
80
188840
2600
03:11
Read more. The next resolution is to read
81
191760
3040
03:14
more.
82
194810
540
03:15
I don't know, I suppose this could be
83
195350
1320
03:16
different from person to person, it could
84
196670
1650
03:18
mean reading the news more, it could mean
85
198320
2070
03:20
reading more books, it could mean
86
200390
1500
03:21
studying more, perhaps? But in general
87
201890
3060
03:24
just getting new knowledge, more often. So
88
204950
3599
03:28
in a sentence, this year one of my
89
208549
2160
03:30
resolutions is to read more.
90
210709
2431
03:33
Save money. Everybody probably tries to
91
213140
2819
03:35
do this as much as possible, it can be
92
215959
2071
03:38
difficult, but save money. So, for you know
93
218030
3929
03:41
for your travels, for self-improvement,
94
221959
2250
03:44
for whatever it is that you'd like to
95
224209
2611
03:46
save money for. A common resolution is to
96
226820
2610
03:49
save money. So this year, let's see, one of
97
229430
2790
03:52
my resolutions is to save money so that
98
232220
2010
03:54
I can travel this summer. Spend more time
99
234230
2910
03:57
with family the next resolution is to
100
237140
2280
03:59
spend more time with family. It can be
101
239420
2520
04:01
easy to move away from your family and
102
241940
2850
04:04
not talk to them very much,
103
244790
1800
04:06
maybe you lose touch over time, but one
104
246590
3090
04:09
common resolution is to spend more time
105
249680
1800
04:11
with family, so maybe this means calling
106
251480
2490
04:13
your family more, meeting your family
107
253970
1680
04:15
more, having a family reunion,
108
255650
1980
04:17
there are a lot of different ways that
109
257630
1500
04:19
you can find time. So in a sentence,
110
259130
2460
04:21
this year I'm going to spend more time
111
261590
1530
04:23
with my family, it's so important.
