Transcript

In 2025, I have decided to make some New Year resolutions that matter. First, I want to exercise three times a week to stay healthy and active. I will join a gym because it will help me stay motivated with my workouts. Second, I plan to improve my cooking skills by trying one new recipe weekly. This will help me eat more at home and save money on expensive meals. I also hope to introduce more vegetables into my diet to increase nutrition. Additionally, I aim to read 12 books this New Year, focusing on different genres. I have always loved reading, but I often forget to make time for it. Exploring new books will help me relax, learn, and enjoy various storytelling styles. Finally, I want to spend more quality time with family and friends this year. I intend to organize monthly gatherings that will help strengthen our relationships. Sharing activities together will bring more joy and laughter throughout the upcoming year. In conclusion, these resolutions are important steps towards making 2025 a wonderful year. Although they require effort, I believe I can achieve them by staying committed and organized. These changes can lead to a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life throughout the year.
