Making Resolutions
Do you know what a resolution is? A resolution is a promise that you make to yourself. People make resolutions to improve their life. The most common kind is a New Year's resolution. After all, the start of the year is often a perfect time for making resolutions.
Resolutions can be about anything. Some are about physical health. For example, some people may promise to exercise more or eat more healthily. Some resolutions have to do with learning new things. People might decide they are going to take up a hobby like painting or photography. And some resolutions have to do with self - improvement, like becoming more confident or organized. For example, a student may decide to start a new study plan.
Although there are differences, most resolutions have one thing in common: people hardly ever keep them! But there are good reasons for this. Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep. And sometimes people just forget about them.
To make your resolutions work, you need to plan them wisely. Always make sure your resolution is possible to achieve. Don't set a goal that is too difficult or too much for you. Try to set mini - goals to help you achieve your resolution.
And if you don't want to forget your resolutions, write them down. Also, talk about them with your family and friends. Encourage them to remind you of your goals. So what resolutions are you going to make? How are you going to keep them?

The Ant and the Grasshopper
(Adapted from Aesop's Fables)
It was summer time. The ant and the grasshopper were in the farmer's field. The ant was busy collecting corn. The grasshopper was relaxing in the sun.
"Hey, Ant! Come sit with me," said the grasshopper.
"No thanks," said the ant. "I have to take this corn home. I'm preparing for the winter."
A few weeks later, summer was almost at an end. The ant continued to take corn home every day, but the grasshopper just played his violin and danced around.
"Come on, Ant!" said the grasshopper. "Dance with me!"
"No," replied the ant. "I'm going to get more corn. Why don't you join me? You should plan for the winter."
"But the winter is so far away! Your work looks so boring! Come with me! Let's have a picnic!"
"No, thanks, Grasshopper. I'm going to continue with my boring work."
The grasshopper was silent for a while, but then he happily danced away.
The ant looked tired, but she felt happy when she saw all the food in her kitchen.
The autumn arrived and the weather became cool and windy. The grasshopper ran around the farm singing songs. The poor ant had to fight her way through the wind. She wanted to collect lots of wood.
"Ant, it's too windy to work," said the grasshopper. "Come and sing with me!"
"No, thanks, Grasshopper. There's just a little bit more work for me to do. I want to be warm in the winter."
And then the cold winter came. The ant sat home by her fire, enjoying some lovely corn soup. Then she heard a knock at the door.
"Oh, dear Ant," said the grasshopper. "You must help me! I have no food! And no fire to keep me warm!"
"Sorry, Grasshopper, you must learn to look after yourself. Keep dancing and singing through the winter, and work hard when spring comes!"
