I’m going to see my friends more often. I’m going to save money. I’m going to change my job. We’re going to travel around Europe. We’re going to have French lessons. I’m going to spend more time with my parents. We’re going to invite more friends for dinner. I’m going to get fit. I’m not going to take work home. We’re going to move. I’m going to lose some weight.

We don’t speak any foreign languages. We don’t entertain very much. I hate my work. I eat too much. I stay at home all the time. We always stay in Britain for my holiday. Our house is too small. I never see my family. I want to spend more time with my children. I spend too much. I don’t take enough exercise.
