Hi, I'm Georgiana, your English teacher.

Thanks for joining me for a new episode of the Speak English Now podcast.

If you want to help, please share the podcast on social media.

That would mean a lot. Thanks.

Before we start, visit my website, speak Englishpodcast.com, and subscribe to my free mini-course. Okay, let's start. In this episode,

let's take a look at the most common New Year's resolutions.

Then you will practice your English fluency with a mini-story.

By the way, you can find my podcast everywhere on the internet.

If you need to read the transcript, I recommend

you to listen to the podcast on my website, speakenglishpodcast.com. But you can also find it on

Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, SoundCloud, etc. Just look for Speak English Now with Georgiana and start learning English with me.

Well, first of all, Happy New Year. How time flies. A new year has just begun. It's curious how the passage of time is perceived according to

age. Young people don't think much about it. Middle-aged people think about the things they still

want to achieve and realize that they have less and less time.

Older people, on the other hand, remember the old days.

Don't worry, I won't get too philosophical in this lesson.

I'll go ahead and talk about New Year's resolutions.

As you know, when a new year comes, we all feel like doing a lot of things.

Also, we feel a bit guilty for having celebrated a little too much at Christmas.

Therefore, in this episode, we will take a look at the most popular New Year's resolutions

and practice new vocabulary. And what's a resolution? A resolution is a firm decision to do

something. My New Year's resolution is to use high proven techniques based on the natural learning of a second language to help my students to speak English automatically.
