As teenagers (青少年), you have many dreams. The 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 an Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams real is life’s biggest challenge (挑战).

“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 realizing your dream,” the book says.

In fact, everyone 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 because a big dream is formed by, in fact, 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.

Some people seem to know how to start a conversation with anyone anywhere. If you’re not one of these people, don’t be sad. Here are some easy ways to help you make a conversation with someone new.

Say something about the surroundings (周围的事物).

If you’re at a party, for example, you could say, “I love this song”, or “The food is great. Have you tried the chicken?”

Ask an open-ended question.

The question requires (要求) more than just a yes or no answer. You can ask a question that begins with one of the 5W1H: who, where, when, what, why, or how. For example, “Who do you know here?” “Where do you usually go on Friday?” “How is the food?” Most people enjoy talking about themselves, so asking questions is a good way to start a conversation.

Give praise.

For example, “I really like your bag. Can I ask where you got it?” or “You look like you’ve done this before. Can you tell me where I have to sign in (签到)?”

Keep the conversations going with small talk.

Don’t say something annoying (令人讨厌的) and avoid big subjects like religion (宗教). Try some relaxing subjects. For example, you can talk about the weather or anything you have in common such as schools, movies and sports teams.

Be a good listener.

Listening is not the same as waiting for your turn to talk.. You can’t focus on (专注于) what someone’s saying if you’re thinking about what you’re going to say next. Focus on the speaker and show interest in what’s being said. Nod, smile at the person, and make sure you look friendly.

1.An open-ended question refers to the one beginning with ________.

3.Try some relaxing subjects rather than big subjects like ________.

4.To be a good listener means focusing on the speaker and ________.
