As a child，what did you want to be when you grew up？If you were like most children，you probably let your imagination run wild.Maybe you dreamed of flying into space or being a famous cook.Then perhaps over the years，your dreams became more realistic（現實的）.Or you might have given up some altogether.
It's important to have dreams because dreams can give us the energy to succeed in life.Dreams inspire（激勵）us.They might take a few years or they might take a lifetime to achieve.The important thing is that you're always working for your dream.And the best way to do that is by setting goals.
What is the difference between a dream and a goal？It's been said that dreams are the final destination（終點）；goals are the stops along the way.Dreams can be very general.But the steps you take should be very specific.Your dreams mean what you want，but goals tell how you'll get there.That makes goal set a necessary step in reaching your dreams.
Many successful people have spoken about dreams.Former US Secretary of State Colin Powell stressed the importance of working for your dreams. "A dream doesn't become reality through magic；it takes sweat（汗水），determination（決心）and hard work. "Writer Les Brown reminded us that dreams have no age limit. "You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream."
If you've been dreaming about doing something for years，start today.Write down your dream，and establish your goals.Then you'll be on your way to making your dreams come true.

1．Dear Dr Lee，
The days of mine are not all sunny.As a middle school student，I have many problems.On the one hand，I am under great pressure（壓力） in my studies，I need to take the exams every month.If I fall behind other students，I will feel that I am not doing well.I always want to be the best，but things can't go on my way.On the other hand，I don't want to talk to my parents about my problems.If they ask me questions，I will answer them with few words.I think they won't understand me.And my body grows fast，changes happen in me，I can't control my emotion（情緒）.What should I do？
LauraDear Laura，
It's normal to have these problems.But don't worry.The life is not always wonderful.Everybody has growing pains（痛苦） on their way to the growth.But the time is fair（公平的），gains（收獲） are always with pains.Growing pains seem full of knowledge and experience.Although there's so much homework，so many exams，and so many different ideas between the parents and you，you will learn how to make your dreams come true by working hard and how to understand each other by talking with your parents.Growing pains worry you a lot but they will give you power（力量） and confidence（自信） at the same time.They can help you to be successful and make more friends as well.Successes and friendships can make you happy and enjoyable.Both pains and gains can make your life more colorful.So I think what you need to do is learning to adjust（調節(jié)） yourself and get used to these changes.You need to open your heart and have less pressure.

3．Dear Laura，
Thanks for your message.Yes，I'm having a great time on my exchange program in France.I was a bit nervous before I arrived here，but there was no reason to be.My host family is really nice.They go out of their way to make me feel at home.The grandmother has a teenage granddaughter about my age who is rally kind.She always talks to me in French to help me practice.And you wouldn't believe how quickly my French has improved!I'm very comfortable speaking French now.
Although I still make lots of mistakes，it doesn't worry me as it used to.
My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table As you can imagine，things are really different from the way they are at home.For example，you shouldn't put your bread on your plate.You are supposed to put it on the table!I thought that was pretty strange at first，but now I'm used to it.You shouldn't eat anything with your hands except bred，not even fruit!You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork.Another thing is that it is very impolite to say you're full If you don't want any more food，you should just say， "It was delicious.".Also，you shouldn't put your elbow on the table I have to say that I find it difficult to remember everything，but I'm gradually getting used to it.I don't find French customs so strange any more.
Dear Laura，I'll write again soon and tell you more about my life in France.Hope you are having a good school year.
Yours，
Lin Yue
