Article #104 New Year's Day 
On New Year's Day people start a new year. Many people make resolutions. They resolve to be better people. Some people decide that they will lose weight so that they can be healthier. Some people decide to give up smoking. They  also  want  to be  healthier. There  are  all  kinds  of  resolutions  that  people make. Some people try not to lose their tempers. Some people say that they will work  harder. There are people  who  try  to  give  up  bad  habits. Every  year,  my brother says that he will stop biting his nails. He stops biting his nails in January, but  by  February  he always  starts  again. That  is  the  thing  about  New  Year's resolutions. People seldom keep them. Everybody starts out with good intentions, but it is very hard to stick with them. I don't make New Year's resolutions. I find that I just break them. I just work day by day to break my bad habits. I know that I eat too many sweets. Every day, I just try to resist them. I think that every day is a new day regardless of whether it is New Year's Day or not. Bad habits are hard to break. The best thing is never to start any bad habits. I don't know if my brother will ever stop biting his nails, but I know that each January he intends to stop. Maybe one of these New Year's Days he'll get over that habit.
