READING:

The Internet says 2014 will be the best year ever. We will all do better with our plans. We will do the things we forgot to do last year. It is the perfect year to exercise and get fit. It is also the time to eat healthier food. The Internet also found that we will help other people, especially people we do not know. Millions of people do not have enough food or clean water. Many children cannot go to school or get medicine. This year we will help these people more.

The Internet also hopes for happier news stories. People are tired of war, killing, bombs and bad leaders. We can change our lifestyle and do things to make our world and environment better. We can recycle more and use electricity less. We can also do voluntary work in our local community. Some of our biggest problems are because world leaders care more about their own power than their people. The Internet could help us to change these leaders.
