1 січня. Перший день Нового року

1 січня - перший день Нового року, час для планування та рішучих дій. Саме з цього дня ми маємо можливість змінити своє життя: більше відпочивати, покращити харчові звички, збільшити фізичне навантаження, вивчити англійську мову або ж змінити роботу. Новий рік - нові можливості, нові перемоги, нові цілі!

Слово дня: “ПОЧИН” -  починання, ініціатива.

Треба виявляти почин в усіх галузях життя.

The word of the day: miracle (noun)
Meaning:an unusual and mysterious event that is thought to have been caused by a god because it does not follow the usual laws of nature.

Example: Jesus Christ was said to have performed miracles like turning water into wine.
