Happy new year!

I hope everyone enjoyed time with their friends and family.

May this year be better than last year!

I have some new wishes and dreams for this year. I'll do my best to achieve them!

Back home, it's normal for people to make a new years resolution.

A resolution is like a decision.

People will decide to lose weight, stop smoking cigarettes or take up a new hobby.

Most people don't succeed for more than a few months. But those who do are worthy of respect and praise.

Does Japan follow a similar tradition?
