Monty was the son of a horse trainer. When he was in his ninth grade, he was asked to write a __36__ about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.
That night he wrote a seven-page paper saying that someday he’d __37__ a horse ranch (牧场). He wrote about his dream in great detail and he __38__ drew a picture of a 200-acre ranch with all the buildings.
He put a great deal of his __39__ into the project and the next day he handed it in __40__ his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a __41__ that read, “See me after class.”
The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, “__42__ did I receive an F?”
The teacher said, “This is an __43__ dream for a young boy like you. You come from a poor family. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of __44__. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for other things. There is no__45__ you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “__46__ you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.”
The boy went home and thought about __47__ long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, “Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important __48__ for you.”
Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the __49__ paper, making no changes at all. He said to the teacher, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my 50 .”

Dear Vincent,
I’m a middle school student in Zhejiang , China. My English teacher , Ms.Li gave me your name and address. I want to be your pen friend.
English is my favourite subject.That’s why I want to practise English with an American student. I also like art. It’s so interesting and useful.I like history, too. Our history teacher always tells us a lot of interesting historical stories. We all have a good time in history classes.
In my free time, I enjoy playing computer games . It’s exciting and fun. Do you like it ? I also like to go to the movies. I saw Harry Potter and the DeathlyHallows:Part 1 yesterday. It was a great film.But I don’t like sports, so I never enjoy P.E.classes.
How about you? What subjects do you like? What do you look like? What do you want to do when you get older? I hope I can get your letter soon!
Yours,
Zhao Gang
