    I've just got home after a three-week holiday in the USA with my family. It was really great, and I want to remember everything, so I'm putting it all in this diary.

Day 1

    We arrived at New York airport and took a yellow taxi to our hotel. Everything here is so big! People call New York "The city that never sleeps." Another popular name for it is "The Big apple". Don't ask me why! The population (人口) is 7,323,000. And 34 million people visit New York every year!

Day 2

    First we went to the Empire State Building (帝国大厦), which is 381 metres high. We went right up to the top and looked out across New York. It was a fantastic view! After lunch, we went shopping. Clothes and CDs are cheaper than in England, and the shops are really big!

    Although it is a big city, you can't get lost because most of the streets have numbers. For example, if you're in Thirty-fourth Street, It's easy to find Thirty- ninth Street.

Day 3

    It's Saturday. Central Park is the place to go at weekends. It's full of people walking, playing, jogging and skating. There are musicians, artists and tourists like me. There's a great zoo in the park with lots of interesting animals. In the evening we went to the cinema. The Americans call it a "movie theatre". Girls like me always like movies.

    As teenagers, you have a lot of 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 top ten students in your class.

    Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real? Making our dreams real is life's biggest challenge(挑战).

    You may think you're not very good at some subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts prevent you from being successful.

    In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is remember the dream in your mind. 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 made up of small ones. Please never give up.

    You may have difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest comes from yourself. 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.
