Background
Instructions

word and improve your listening accuracy.
Ross: I am going to be happy this year. I am going to make myself happy.
Chandler: Do you want us to leave the room, or?
Ross: Every day I am going to do one thing I have never done before. That, my
friends, is my New Year's resolution.
Phoebe: Ooh! That's a good one! Mine is to pilot a commercial jet.
Chandler: That's good one too, Pheebs. Now all you have to do is find a
planeload of people whose resolution is to plummet to their deaths.
Phoebe: Maybe your resolution should be not to make fun of your friends.
Ross: In fact, I'll bet you 50 bucks you can't go the whole year without making
fun of us. Alright, you know what, better yet, a week.
Chandler: I'll take that bet my friend. And you know what? Paying me the 50
bucks can be the new thing you do that day. And it starts right now!
Joey: Alright, my New Year's resolution is to learn how to play guitar.
Phoebe: Really?! How come?
Joey: Well, you know those special skills I have listed on my resume? I would
love it if one of those was true.
Phoebe: Do you want me to teach you? I'm a great teacher.
Joey: Really? Who have you taught?
Phoebe: Well, I taught me, and I love me.
Joey: Yeah, that'd be great! Yeah, thanks Pheebs!
Rachel: Oh, look! Claire forgot her glasses! And she's going to be really needing
these to keep an eye on that boyfriend, who, from what I hear, needs to keep his
stapler in his desk drawer, if you know what I'm talking about.
Monica: Hey Rach, maybe your resolution should be to gossip less.
Rachel: I don't gossip!
Rachel: Well, maybe sometimes I find out things or I hear something, and I pass
that information on. You know, kind of like a public service. It doesn't mean I'm a
gossip.
