When I was a naughty boy, maybe because of the influence of the film "Xiao Bing Zhang Ga", my dream was to be a just like Zhang Ga. I thought if I was a soldier, I should be able to swim, dive and climb trees he did. It seemed to be very . So I began to learn swimming, diving and climbing trees. I practiced every day and finally I do them well. But when I entered junior high school and had the military training(军训), I suddenly found that a soldier was very difficult and I wasn't strong enough to stand it. I had to my dream.
But I wasn't , and I had a new aim, which was to be a postman, or rather to be a newspaper boy. As a newspaper boy, I could along streets on a bike and throw newspapers onto every porch. That's also very cool. So I started learning to ride a bicycle. After the everyday , I could go very fast by bicycle. But my disappointment, the job which I wanted only existed in western countries not in China, because there was no porch in China. And Chinese postmen had to put very thick newspapers into very small mailboxes from very narrow entrances. The job was far from I had expected. So once again my dream fell through.
Perhaps you have had the same experience as I and most of your dreams haven't come true . But I think it doesn't matter, because if you have a dream, you'll make many efforts to realize it. This course is really important. I hadn’t dreamt of being a soldier or a newspaper boy, I wouldn't have learned to swim, to dive, to climb trees or to ride a bicycle. Even if we can't our dream, we'll learn much from the efforts we have made. So what I want to tell us is that dream helps us grow up and teaches us how our lives. It is dream that gives us power and makes our lives colorful.

What’s your idea about success? Some people say that beginners have all the luck, while others believe that success 1 only with practice. In fact, I feel both of these statements (陈述) are not true all the time. Each is true in some ways 2 not in others.
For example, I went to a drawing competition many years ago and 3 surprisingly. As a prize, I got a film ticket to see “Titanic”. I was really 4 because it was the first time I had taken part in any competition. Thinking that I might be lucky again, I 5 joining in other art competitions. But the result was that I 6 won again. I accepted the fact that the other people had a 7 artistic ability than I did. Art was not something I was especially interested in and I had never practiced the different art skills. So, the 8 I produced were not of a very high standard.
These experiences taught me a lot. Though I might have been lucky 9 , I also need to put in hard work. As we know, 10 makes perfect. So I believe success builds on less luck and chance.
