The 30-Day Challenge

The 30-Day Challenge In 2015 our most popular lesson in our 1-on-1 English classes was 30-Day Challenge, a lesson about goals and trying new things. Its a good lesson for starting off a new year, and it inspired me to try something for 30 days. Ive given up eating sugar for the month of January. Im 20 days in now, and its really not bad at all, although I really have the urge to buy some chocolate chip cookies right now.In the past Ive also given up alcohol for 30 days, which was easy, and caffeine, which was horrible. Although, coffee never tasted better to me than it did after 30 days without it.Below we have a TED Talk that we also used in the lesson. Its about 30-day challenges, and was inspired by  Spurlock, perhaps the king of these challenges, who ate nothing but McDonalds for 30 days in Super Size Me.
