#Making good resolutions :

On January 1st, it is common for all French people to make new and good resolutions at the beginning of the year.

The New Year is a sign of new beginnings and renewal.

French people are motivated to make their lives better and above all to make efforts to achieve their goals for the year.

I propose a little game that will allow you to see how good resolutions are made.

What are the following resolutions ? Help yourself with pictures and write your proposals as comments :
