Finn: New Year's resolutions, what are we going to do?
Rob: Exercise more and eat less
Finn: Work really hard, but with no stress
Rob: I'll tidy my desk, you know I'm keen

Finn: Just please don't wait until New Year is here.
Rob: And also for you we have advice
Finn: Don't give up on English, a language so nice!

By the way, a throw stick can be:
- a curved piece of wood; when properly thrown will return to the thrower
- an Australian boomerang; one side flat and the other convex
a weapon that is forcibly thrown or projected at targets but is not self-propelled.

We probably won't send sausages via the Internet in foreseeable future, yet the online delivery services work quite well now.
By the way, that sign on the truck was made as a part of the advertising campaign of Mercedes-Benz in 2000.

...meanwhile, we continue our tech topic.

By the way, "font" has various meanings. For instance, it could either be a set of letters and symbols in a particular design and size or a large container in a church, usually made of stone, that holds the water used for baptisms.
Well, the last one is not so common, yet one more example is even more interesting: "font" means an abundant source, "She was a font of wisdom and good sense".

By the way, Wi-Fi means Wireless Fidelity. Fidelity = accuracy with which an electronic system reproduces the sound or image of its input signal - or the quality of being faithful :)

Have you made a New Year's resolution?
A New Year’s resolution is a promise you make to yourself to do something good (or to stop doing something bad) in the New Year.
Don't hesitate to share your drafts in @violachat :)

We wish you a Merry Christmas

Good tidings we bring
To you and your kin
We wish you a Merry Christmas

Now bring us some figgy pudding
Now bring us some figgy pudding
Now bring us some figgy pudding
And a cup of good cheer

We won't go until we get some
We won't go until we get some
We won't go until we get some
So bring it right here

So bring us some figgy pudding
So bring us some figgy pudding
So bring us some figgy pudding
And bring it right here

Good tidings we bring
To you and your kin
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year

A new list of vocabulary is here! Some important notes to bear in mind:

“Equipment” is an uncountable word so you need to say “a piece of equipment”. It is a very general use word that can be used to describe almost anything mechanical.

“Appliance” is typically used in the phrase “electrical appliances” (eg irons and kettles) that are less advanced technology.
