根据短文内容,回答下列问题。
You often hear "New year, new me" in the UK on the first of January. It is very common to start a new year's resolution on this day. This can be to give up something, like sweets or chocolate, so you can be healthier. People also like to start doing something new. There are so many things you can do! Many people I know decide to play sports and eat healthier food as their new year's resolution. Many become heavier after the holidays as they often eat lot.
I think new year's resolutions are great ideas to give people motivation to do something good for themselves. When other people have the same resolution as yours, it helps you to stick to your own. For example, you could go jogging with a group of friends several times a week. That can be so much fun and help you to keep the resolution.
Also, I think it is important for you to choose something realistic as a new year's resolution. In the past, I have given up chocolate, stopped eating meat and started doing kung fu. Soon after that, I gave up some of these things, such as not eating chocolate. They were too difficult to keep. And some I kept on with and still do now.
This year, my resolution is to travel less by plane. Living in the UK, it was very difficult to travel without a car and not by plane. But now I live in Germany, and I find it much easier to travel by another mode of transport. There are more environmentally friendly ways that I can choose like travelling by train or bus. Though it's more expensive, I know that I will do harm to the environment much less.
