Read the text and do the tasks below: As the New Year approaches, many people reflect on the past year and set resolutions to improve their lives. Popular resolutions often include goals such as losing weight, saving money, quitting smoking, or spending more time with family. While the intention behind these resolutions is often real, studies show that a significant number of resolutions fail by the end of January. Understanding the reasons behind this can help individuals create more effective resolutions that can lead to meaningful changes in their lives. To make a successful New Year's resolution, it's essential to set specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-limited (SMART) goals. For instance, instead of saying "I want to be healthier," a SMART goal would be "I will exercise for 30 minutes at least three times a week." Additionally, breaking down larger goals into smaller, manageable steps can make them feel less confusing. Another essential aspect of successfully achieving resolutions is maintaining motivation. This can be done by finding a support system to provide encouragement and responsibility. Celebrating small victories can also keep motivation high and strengthen positive behavior changes. Finally, staying flexible and determined to resolutions increase and improve the chances of success. The New Year offers a unique opportunity for change if individuals move toward their resolutions with realistic expectations.

Decide whether each of the following is True or False:

Knowing why certain resolutions didn't work helps in creating more effective ones. ( )

Resolutions are more likely to succeed with the SMART approach. ( )
