Last year I went on an amazing trip by boat along the west coast of Canada． It was my brother Harry's idea． He's a （1） （记者） who's also a great fan of boats．But I'd dreamed of visiting the area．So I kept asking Harry if I could go，too﹣ （2） （直到） he agreed at last!
A few weeks before we left home， there was much （3） （雨） in the area we were going to． But luckily the weather was OK at last． However， I was （4） （忙碌的） at work so I didn't think about what needed doing．But Harry promised he'd take care of everything，so I knew everything would be all right．
After arriving in Canada， we packed our （5） （工具） into small boats and set off．Since very few people now lived along that coast， the only other living animals we saw for the first few days were dolphins and birds．
We often stopped for hours to explore the （6） （岩石） pools on the beaches． And we never （7） （忘记） lunch or dinner， though， which we all made together over camp fires．When we （8） （最后） fell asleep on the boats each evening， even though the beds were hard， it really felt like stress﹣free living!

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．
