Nowadays, "China Dream" has become a hot topic. In fact, each of us should have our own dreams, which are parts of the China dream. But how can we make our dreams come true? The answer is: we must go for them now!

Tomorrow is not promised

1) Nobody like to talk about death, but the reality is that everybody is going to die at one point. None of us know the day, or the hour. So, today is all we have. Make the decision to go after every dream, big or small right now.

Unless you take the first step, your dreams will never come true.

You can dream about writing a great novel, but it's never going to happen unless you actually put pen to paper. In order words, dreams don't work unless you do. They require you to actually do the work to make them happen. Get to it!

Opportunities are waiting for you

There are so many amazing opportunities waiting for you. How do you get to them? Simple, follow your dreams. Doors of the opportunities will open up when you go after what you want. You'll never see those doors if you sit around waiting for a dream to happen, instead of actually working to make it happen.

You'll be much happier if you go for it

2) Imagine how much happier you'll be if you're living the life you always dreamed about. The only person that is stopping you is yourself. Take control of your own happiness. 3) waiting, don't, dreams, your, keep. Go after them today!

My name is Oliver. I’m a British boy. In the middle of my summer vacation, my family and I flew to visit my grandma in Maine, a state about 3,000 miles away from Los Angeles. The town she lives in is small and pretty with many local boutique shops ( 精品店). Her house is right on a lake, and we went swimming and kayaking ( 划皮划艇) with her in the water. I loved jumping off a small bridge and diving ( 跳水) into the water. Paulinka, my grandma’s dog always followed us when we went swimming. It would join in the fun and jump in the water as well.

Maine is on the east coast and near the Atlantic Ocean, so we ate fish and chips and lobsters ( 龙虾) very often. Sometimes, my grandma and her friends took us on a boat to catch lobsters. In her little hidden town, the whole family usually go to walk in nature, lay under the stars and most importantly, they live a happy and quiet life.

I am looking forward to the winter vacation because my grandma is going to come over and stay with us for some time. I am sure my house will light up while she is here.

Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. You shouldn’t waste this wonderful opportunity to learn. Here is our advice for you to have a happy school life.

Advice 1 Be active in school! Don’t say things are difficult or boring. Be interested in school life and your school subjects. Join lots of activities. Be quick to put your hand up. Go around the school with a big smile.

Advice 2 Expect to work. School is not a holiday camp. If you are not working,you are not learning,and you are wasting your time at school. Teachers cannot make everything enjoyable.

Advice 3 Keep fit. If you do not eat a good breakfast,you will be thinking about food in class. If you go to bed late and do not have enough sleep,you will be sleepy in class. Play some sports to keep your body strong.

Advice 4 Do today’s work today. Do not say you will do things tomorrow. If you get behind the class,it is very difficult to get back in front. You can’t finish a race if you rest all the time.

Advice 5 Don’t be too disappointed if things sometimes go badly. Everyone fails some tests,loses some matches and has bad days. Friends are not always perfect,and they sometimes say and do unpleasant things. Don’t let small problems seem very big and important.

Advice 6 Talk about problems—sometimes they are only the result of misunderstanding. Don’t be too embarrassed to ask for help. You are young. No one thinks you can do everything!

Advice 7 Plan your time. Don’t waste life lying in bed on Saturday morning. Go and play a sport,learn the piano,work on a project,read a book,practise English,or help someone with problems. There are always a lot of things to do.

Black bread with honey — A friend of mine stayed in a hotel in India and the manager gave this to her for stomachache (胃痛). It really works. Just take a piece of bread and toast it until it’s black. Then put honey on the bread and eat it. It doesn’t look good, but it can really help. So if you get stomachache, try this remedy (治疗法).

An onion — If you get a high temperature, use an onion. It sounds strange but it helps. Cut one large onion in half and put the half an onion to the bottom (底部) of each of your feet. You shouldn’t wear socks, of course! I use this on my kids and it works every time. The remedy came from a friend from down south.
