Section B 1b
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.

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

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.

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

"Sorry, Grasshopper, you must learn to look after yourself. Keep
dancing and singing through the winter, and work hard when spring
comes!"
