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 Australian writer Andrew Mathews tells us that making our dreams real is life's biggest challenge.
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 getting your dream, the book says.
In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what you dream is.
Don't let itleave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step (逐步地)and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is, 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 (导致) 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.

Recently, the result of the national reading survey has been announced and it paints a brighter future for reading habits in the Internet times. Last year,21,270 men from 55 cities answered the survey. It showed that the Chinese people's reading rate increased slightly over the year before. Reading rate means the percentage of citizens regularly reading books, newspapers and digital (数字)reading materials.
The survey shows that the daily reading time and yearly reading number of paper books,printed newspapers and magazines have dropped, while digital reading has continuously increased.Every day Chinese people use different digital devices like mobile phones, personal computers or iPads for 100.41 minutes on average (平均),15.5 percent higher than the year before.
According to the survey, Chinese people's reading habits have changed because mobile phones provide more chances to get different kinds of reading materials on digital platforms. More than 50 percent of the Chinese people who were interviewed prefer digital reading, mostly on mobile phones.
Another interesting result is that an increasing number of people like to listen to audiobooks(有声读物).More than 30 percent of the people who answered the survey listen to audiobooks,higher than the year before. It may have something to do with the way people go to and from work﹣many people in the countryside drive or take public transport for long hours, which leads to the greater need for audiobooks.
People's reading habits are changing with social changes. In my opinion, the relevant authorities (相关机构) should pay attention to it and shouldn't fall behind.
