As a teenager, you have many dreams. These 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 true?
Follow Your Heart written by Australian writer Andrews tells us that making our dreams come true is life's biggest challenge(挑战).
In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is remember what your dream is.
Don't let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step 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 may think you're not very good at some school subjects, or it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream, the book says.
You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will lead to 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.

| A | B | C |
| My problem is my parents. They never stop going on about how I should keep my room tidy, keep my hair tidy and wear smart clothes. They even make me do the washing-up after dinner every night! None of my friends have got such terrible parents. What should I do? Helen | My best friend has suddenly turned her back on me and I don't know why! Last week we phoned each other every day and e-mailed too, and over the weekend we went shopping together and she was fine. But at school on Monday morning she didn't look at me or speak to me. I don't know what I've done. She now spends all her time with another group of friends. Jane | I have a really bad habit of chewing（嚼）the ends of my hair. I try to stop, but I can't! My mom is starting to get really angry about it. Have you got any ideas? Gina |
| Advice | ||
| Hi _________, Why should your parents do all the washing-up? You should help around the house—it's only fair. I don't think you should change your looks though. Young people should look like young people. | ②Hi_________, Wearing your hair pulled back in a ponytail（马尾辫）will help keep it out of your mouth. When you feel like chewing something, try bubble gum（泡泡糖）. Give yourself time and you should be able to break this habit. The first few days are usually the hardest. Good luck! | ③Hi ________， Don't worry about it so much! Phone your friend up as usual and she won't be able to refuse you. I am sure you will get along well with each other. Everything will be fine. |
We often dine out with others, but do you know some basic etiquette (礼节)? If you behave well at the table, it will make your partners happy. But if you don't know how to behave yourself, you will feel embarrassed. Here are some tips for the table etiquette.
When helping a woman pull her chair to the table, hold it and guide it. Don t shove(碰撞)it against the back of her legs.
If you're seated at a table with eight or fewer guests, wait for everyone to be served and for the hostess(女主人) to begin eating before you dig in. At a long banquet table, it's OK to start when several people are seated and served.
If you prefer not to have wine while dining out, don't turn your glass upside down, and don t make a big deal of saying you don't drink. Simply place your fingertips on the rim(边缘) of the glass and say" Not today, thanks."
When you excuse yourself to go to the restroom, just say" Please excuse me."
When out with friends or family—even at a fancy restaurant –it's OK to ask for your leftovers(吃剩的饭菜) to be wrapped. But don't do it at a business lunch or dinner.
