cultural traditions. It's important for us to know about them.

     As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the
 Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the 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?
     Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making your dreams real is life's biggest challenge.
  You may think you're not very good at some school subjects, or that it's impossible for you to become a
  writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream.
     In fact, everyone can realize his dream. 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 every day and then your dream will
 come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.

  biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of
  watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream
