Have you made any New Year resolutions? Many people make resolutions at this time of the year. Some common resolutions are “I will exercise more”, “I will eat healthy food”, “I will study more”.
I make resolutions every year, but I don’t keep them for long! I’m going to try hard this time though. My New Year resolutions are “study French and Chinese more”, “take the French and Chinese tests”, “run a full marathon”, “write more graded readers”. I also want to eat less chocolate, but that might be difficult for me…
How about you? What are your New Year resolutions?

We would like to wish all our readers who celebrate Christmas a Merry Christmas! We hope you have a nice, peaceful holiday.


I live in Japan, but I usually spend Christmas in the UK with my family. I have lived in Japan for 20 years. Every year, I go back to the UK for Christmas. However, this year, because of COVID19, I am staying in Japan. It is my first time to spend Christmas in Japan.
I sent Christmas presents to my family, and they sent Christmas presents to me. We are going to chat on Skype on Christmas Day, and we are going to open our presents then. It feels strange being here at this time of the year. The shops are playing Christmas music, and there are Christmas decorations everywhere, but to me, it doesn’t feel like Christmas. I hope I can go home next Christmas.
