NEW YEAR RESOLUTION- 2nd- transcript

The American writer, Mark Twain had different ideas on smoking. Twain found it easy to stop . "I do it 3 or 4 times to year", he said.
A man I know says that every year he makes the same resulution. He will not eat the fruit, watermelons.


Since they are no watermelons in winter where he lives, he has no trouble keeping his resulution.

In summer, when he can buy watermelons again. He eats them again.
But he can say that he keeps his resulution for at least 6 months.

Many people promise to lose weight. That was the new year resulution my mother liked best.

When I was a child- I do not remember the time when she was not eatting special foods to help her lose weight. These usually were not the foods that we liked so much. So we believe we were keeping my mother's new year resulution for her.

To me, new year resulution should serve someone good. They should make some effort to keep. Yet, If the effort is too great, you will want to break them.

The best new year resulution for me is no resulution at all.

I know a woman who never makes them.

She decides any time during the year what she wants to do in her

life . Then she takes small steps to reach her goal.

My own new year resulution is to stop talking about new year resulution. That should be an easy one to keep!

New year resolution- 1st- transcript

At the end of every year, many Americans make promises to themselves.


They promise to change their lives in other ways in the New Year.

Then, almost every year, they start breaking their promises by the middle of January.

The trouble with most New Year Resolution is

that people try… too then too much or too little.

Both attempts end in failure.

If you do not try to make a lot of changes, however,

the effort doesn’t seem important enough.

For example, every year, my wife promises to drink more liquids. I think it has something to do with her health.
In her heart, however,she believes

that drinking more liquids is not really important.

So, at the end of January, she forgets about it.


Many people promise to stop smoking.

Some actually do it.
I know one woman who promised 20 years ago to stop smoking.

but she said the decision took so much effort

that she never makes any new year resolution.

                                  to learn - động từ học
                                      learning    việc học- chuyện học hành
                                  a  learner      một học trò
I want to learn.
I stop      learning.
I have a  learner.
I have learned that my learner goes slowly.
I had   learned a little but I understood a bit.
I was   learning  when my learner called me.
I will   learn    how to write stories.
I learned from whom I had loved not whom I was loving.
I have been learning that listening is the most important.
"Learn." I remind my learner. "Học đi" tôi nhắc nhở học trò tôi.
Learning is not joking.  Việc học không phải là chuyện đùa.
