Ben
When I left school five years ago, I said to myself, “That’s that! No more learning for me．Now I can enjoy myself in the evening．” But about a year ago the boss said, “We’re going to get a computer in the near future．” What does he mean? I simply don’t know．Anyway, I decided to go to evening classes．I’m quite an expert(專家) on computers now and you know, I actually enjoy studying．
Eve
I haven’t much interest in studying．To be honest, I don’t like reading very much, except for magazines and that sort of thing．Just reading, that is, to kill the time．But I do enjoy watching TV．Not that I watch everything．In fact, I choose my programmes very carefully．I’m particularly interested in current affairs(時事)．In some ways I think I learn more in this way than I did at school．
Ted
I’m a very different sort of person－I simply love doing things．That’s why I enjoy sports so much．I mean, actually playing．I hardly ever watch it on TV, but I do read quite a bit about it．I’m even interested in the history of sports．I don’t have much time for anything else, except that I quite like dancing．Some people say I’m not very good at it, though．
Joan
I should say I have great interest in studying．I’d rather do this than anything else．Since I left school．I’ve taken courses in all sorts of things．I go to the city library once a week, but I much prefer evening classes because it’s more fun that way．My latest “craze（狂熱）”－if you can call it that －is foreign languages．I’m learning two, not one!

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，every one 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，made up of 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．
