Class 1 – Tuesday, January 11th
Hello and welcome back! We feel refreshed and eager to start learning more! So, without further ado, let’s dig in right away:
Today we’ll start by warming up a little and talk about the holidays and New Year’s resolutions!
Are you the type to get all excited about the New Year and make a hundred New Year’s resolutions only to never follow through? Or do you stick to your plan until the end? Do you believe in the „New Year – New me“ thing or is it just a hype?
Did you make any New Year’s resolutions last year and did you get around to it? Do tell!
Homework: Read the following article so we can discuss it next time: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/jan/10/struggling-with-new-year-resolutions-willpower
