It was the first day back at school. Tom got up and got dressed. Then, he looked at his
toothbrush and he promised, ‘In 2019, I’m going to brush my teeth after every meal.’ The
tooth brush fell over! Tom went downstairs, saw his mother and he said, ‘In 2019, I will
always be nice to you’. His mother just smiled. When Tom arrived at school, he
spoke to his teacher, Mr Taylor. ‘Sir,’ he said, ‘in 2018, I didn’t always do my
homework. I want you to know that, in 2019, I will always do it.’ Mr Taylor replied,
‘We’ll see!’ At lunchtime, Tom went to the canteen and he ate salad. He said to his
friends, ‘In 2018, I ate a lot of junk food, too many burgers and fries and stuff!
Starting from today, I’m going to stop eating fast food and I will eat healthy foods like
chicken, fish and salad.’ Tom’s friends laughed. When Tom arrived home after school, he ate
his dinner and then he logged on to his computer and he started playing computer games. He
played for just fifteen minutes and he said to himself, ‘In 2018, I played games for about
three hours a day. In 2019, I will not play computer games all the time. I’ll only play for one
hour a day.’ He looked in the mirror and he grinned at himself. You see, Tom made these
resolutions for 2018, but he didn’t stick to any of them!
But this time, Tom really means it! He thinks he can do it. Let’s hope so!
