Hopes， ambitions（抱负）， dreams． How many of yours will you achieve？ When you look back at your life in the future， will you have good memories of all the things that you did？ Or will you regret all the things that you didn't do？
Of course， there's no easy road to success， but one thing is certain： success won't come if you don't do anything． So how do you do it？ This four﹣step model will help you to make your dreams come true．
Step 1：
What would you like to do？ Write down all your ambitions， They may be very general， such as I would like to be fitter． I want to be famous． or It would be nice to have more friends． Or they may be more specific，like I've always wanted to play a musical instrument．

2．Set a time limit（限定）． This is very important， because you will have a goal and you will also know when you have reached it．

Step 3：
Now that you' ve made your choice， what are you actually going to do to achieve your goal？ So， in our example， I will be fit enough to join a half﹣marathon race by the end of August， becomes I'm going to join a running club． or I 'm going to go jogging three times a week．
Step 4：
This is when you change your intentions（意图） into specific actions， Prepare to do something at a specific time． If you don't do this， your dreams and plans will just stay as dreams and plans． So now I'm going to join a running club，becomes I'm meeting the president of the Cheetahs Running Club on Monday evening at 5：30．
Don't let your ambitions die． Follow this four step plan and make your dream come true．
A． Change I would like to…to I will… B． Change I did…to I do… C． How to be successful D． Change I'm going to…to I'm doing…on…at… E． Think about your ambitions F． Change I will…to I'm going to… |

Getting English Language Learners to Put Down the Books and Have Some Fun
Even if there's so much about English that can be learned from a book or even in a traditional classroom setting，a lot of the language can still be learned best in more relaxing situations where students are having fun.Here are some suggestions.
★Communicate with strangers.If you live in an area filled with English speakers，get students out of the classroom.（1） .Students may not speak to strangers，but they'll hear conversations taking place and may begin to understand how the words learnt in the classroom are actually used in everyday speech.
★Let their guard down.One difficult thing for learners is confidence （自信）when they speak English.Fun activities，especially those outside of the classroom，give students a chance to feel relaxed.（2） .It may take a bit of time at the beginning，but once students get into it，they'll start to get confidence.
★Make use of English media （媒体）.Most recorded language instruction is pretty boring and it can get tiring hearing the same voice repeat the same phrases.（3） .They will hear common expressions and more everyday conversations in the movie.If they're not sure about something they hear，it can turn into a more formal lesson once back in the classroom.
★（4） .Casual （随意的）conversations give learners the chance to hear or use English in situations.They can talk all they want about expressions to use while dining out or informal words to use with friends，but it takes a trip to McDonald's or a picnic in the park for many of those expressions to truly set in.
| A． |
You can let students go to a movie in English. |
| B． |
Put them among other English speakers. |
| C． |
They may hate to speak English. |
| D． |
Hear or use English in situations. |
| E． |

Recently，teenagers face many kinds of problems.Like many of them.I was once troubled with worries and dissatisfaction.Few people could understand my feelings.（1）
"The problem with your generation is that you always expect to be happy，" my mother once said.（2） Shouldn't we try hard to achieve it？
But now I have noticed a change in my thinking.I gradually realize what my mother said was correct.Over these years，many studies have shown that we are crazy about happiness and high personal confidence（3） In fact，we may often be happier when we stop focusing on happiness.
We should also reset our expectations of the future.Don't expect miracles（奇迹），and accept that no matter how hard we try，feelings of failure and unhappiness will appear from time to time.When we feel sad，it's often because we have learned something painful but important.（4） At the same time，we should learn how to deal with them better than trying to make them disappear.
（5） As my mother tried to teach me all those years ago， "Prepare for the worst，hope for the best，and be unsurprised by everything in between."
A.Neither could my parents.
B.We should keep the stress off ourselves.
C.Surely happiness was the purpose of living.
D.That may make us less satisfied with our lives.
E.Happiness arrives when we are least expecting it.
F.So it's necessary for us to accept sad feelings as part of life.
Starting your new school life can be difficult.Everything seems hard，and you don't even know where to go for your own classes.（1） Here are some suggestions on how to make friends at a new school.
Be active to start a conversation.A smile goes a long way.When walking in the halls，don't keep your eyes on the floor.If you see someone，give them a smile or say hi.（2）
Remember people's names.（3） You can say something like， "I remember you said something very interesting yesterday and wanted to talk about it some more，but I'm new here and don't remember your name yet.Would you mind telling me again？"
Join some clubs and activities.A new school and a new group of classmates offer more chances to explore（探索） some new interests. （4） There you can meet people who share your interests and are looking forward to making new friends too.
（5） Do you want to help the old or protect the environment？Speak up.Share your unique（独特的） ideas in the new school.Your new schoolmates will remember you immediately.They are more likely to talk with you and know you better.Then you will be able to make new friends.
