be and do when he grew up.  He worked hard on it,  and  wrote  a  seven-page  paper.  In  the paper he
described his dream of owning a big horse ranch someday.

family.  Owning a horse ranch needs a lot of money.   There  is  no way  you  could  ever do it. " Then he
added,  "Write this paper again.  If you  write  it  with a realistic plan, you may receive a better grade. "
