阅读短文后选择正确答案.
As teenagers, you have many dreams .These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize, or they can be small. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.
Once you find a dream, what do you do with
it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?
“Follow Your Heart”by Australian writer
Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams
real is life’s biggest challenge.
You may think you’re not very good at some
school subjects ,or that it is impossible for you to
become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you
from getting your dream, the book says.
In fact, everyone can make his dream come true.
The first thing you must do is to remember what your
dream is.
Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling
yourself what you want. Do this step by step and
your dream will come true faster because a big dream is,
in fact, many small dreams.
You must also never give up your dream.
There will be difficulties on the road to your
dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.
As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.
