Reading comprehension.
Many famous people had dreams when they were young. They often worked hard to make their dreams
come true.
When I was only 13 years old, I first thought about what I should do in the future. I used to dream about
being a basketball player, a soccer player, or a baseball player. However, I gave up these dreams because I
was too short. Then I thought about going into music, so I bought a guitar. But I couldn't play it very well.
Then I had to give up my dream again. After that I thought about being a reporter and I worked really hard
at it. At the age of 25, my dream came true and I became a reporter.
Finally, I learned the truth about making dreams come true. I should never give up and I must work hard.
