Happy New Year everyone! How was the New Year? I had great fun with mumma, dadda and my friends. Lots of baking, cooking delicious foods and fun! We went to Trafalgar Square on the New Year’s Eve and it was great fun! It is one of the most popular places in London where people (both locals and tourists) gather to celebrate New Year. Even though there is no firework in Trafalgar Square, a large screen is set up where you can see the fireworks from South Bank. Then we had dinner in a plush restaurant and went around the city in our car. It was an amazing day! We came back home and wished our neighbours who were still partying; we were also

2017 is already here and it is time to make some New Year resolutions. I have heard people saying people make resolutions just for the sake of it but do not follow it; I don’t know how true it is but this year I have decided to make some New Year resolutions and I will surely follow them throughout the year. I have thought about it a lot and have come up with the following resolutions:

• I will be a good girl and listen to mumma and dadda
• I will eat healthy foods. I will eat whatever mumma gives me (I will have some good foods only on weekends)
• I will be good with my friends (I will share things and I won’t fight with them anymore)

I told mumma and dadda about my resolutions and they were very happy with me but dadda said I must decide on things that I will be able to achieve. I asked mumma and dadda about their resolutions – mumma said she would cook lots of good food for both of us and dadda said he would take us long vacation this year. I am so happy! I asked my friends about their New Year resolutions as well, they also decided to listen to their parents and study well.

I asked mumma why people make resolutions during New Year; she said resolutions are about making life happier. People promise themselves about doing good things that improve their lives as well as improve the lives of people associated with them. For instance, if someone decides to quit smoking he/she decides to lead a healthier life and also saves other people from passive smoking and causes less harm to the environment. All resolutions are linked with the well being of human beings and nature. So on the first day of the year we all make resolutions to make the Earth a better place. She also said that if we decide to do something, we must stick to it and follow it all round the year.

So I promise myself that I will stick to my resolutions and make my parents happy and proud of me. What are your New Year resolutions? Do you think you can follow them all through the year?
