A study shows that about 45% of people make New Year's resolutions(决心), but only 8% of them keep them. Here is how to keep yours:
◆Pick something important to you.
◆Make your resolution specific(具体的). Let's say your resolution is to do better in school. Does that mean getting all As and Bs? Or does it mean improving your grades in math or science?
◆Make a plan andstick toit. lf you say "I'm going to study for two hours everyday", you may do it for the first week or two, and then you may get bored or too busy so that you want to give up.
But you say, "I'm going to do my homework every day. On the days when I don't have other things to do (like sports practice or music lessons), I'm going to study for more than 30 minutes after school. I'm going to start studying hard for a test for a week before it. "
◆Write your resolution down and put it where you can see it every day.
◆_________, like your mom, dad, or your best friend. They can help you keep your resolution.
◆Remember, it's your resolution. If you give up, you can always start again-you don't have to wait for next year!
