Most of my clothes don't fit me anymore. S: I know the feeling. I'd like to lose some weight, too. R: Hey, why don't we make a change together? S: Do you mean like a New Year's resolution? R: Yes. Let's promise to get in shape. Maybe we can even join a gym. S: That's a good idea. We can also cut out junk food. R: Oh, that's going to be hard for me, but I promise to try. S: Great! It's time to treat our bodies better. Part A：身體健康和健美體態 理查：我受不了自己這麼胖，我大部分的衣服都穿不下了。 蘇珊：我懂這種感受，我也想要減重。 理查：嘿，我們何不一起做點改變呢？ 蘇珊：你是指像訂定新年目標那樣嗎？ 理查：對啊，我們來立下承諾要擁有健美的體態，或許我們還可以加入健身房。 蘇珊：好主意，我們也可以戒掉垃圾食物。 理查：噢，那對我來說會很難，但我保證會試試看。 蘇珊：太好了！該是更加善待我們身體的時候了。 Part B: For Finances Miranda and Robert are talking about their resolutions for the new year. 米蘭達和羅伯特正在討論他們的新年新希望。 (Miranda = M ; Robert = R) M: Guess what!

So, I cut all my cards to stop me from using them. M: You did that already? That's very brave of you. R: If I don't act right away, I will wait and may never take action. M: I see. Well, I plan to put half of my pay in the bank every month. R: That's very smart of you. Part B：財務方面 米蘭達：你知道嗎？我立下的一個新年願望是少花一點錢。 羅伯特：真的嗎？我的願望也是減少支出。 米蘭達：真不錯！你要採取什麼方法？ 羅伯特：我有信用卡債，所以為了不再使用信用卡，我把它們全都剪了。 米蘭達：你已經那麼做了嗎？真勇敢。 羅伯特：如果不馬上執行，我就會一直拖延，而且可能永遠不會採取行動。 米蘭達：我明白了。嗯，我打算每個月把一半的薪水存入銀行。 羅伯特：真是明智之舉。 Part C: For Learning and Development Tony and Martha are sharing their New Year's resolutions. 東尼和瑪莎正在分享他們的新年展望。 (Tony = T ; Martha = M) T: Did you make any New Year's resolutions this year?
