Two teams kicked a ball into a giant net. In the 90 minutes they did this, I could read through an interesting book! I was a disappointment (失望) to my father. He even gave me a football with Pele’s name on it for my birthday. A funny-looking thing. It was in the gift paper and there was a card that read “Happy birthday, Xolisa, love from Mum and Dad.” I put the ball, still in its gift paper, at table just to look at. One day, my new friend came to visit. He looked at the football on my study table. “Whose is that?” he asked excitedly. “Mine,” I said. He reached for it. He took off the paper and bounced the ball all over the place. “Come! Let’s go! We’ll play outside with this!” I nodded. It was my ball so I followed him! I left my book on the bed. I had no idea what I had to do when standing in the middle of the field. I just stood there looking at my new friend as he played happily with my ball. He kicked the ball to me. I didn’t know what to do. I picked up the ball and ran with it. “Kick it to me!” he screamed from across the field. So I placed the ball near my feet and kicked it as hard as I could. It was a bad kick and the ball hit the girl standing in front of me. How embarrassing (使人难堪的)! Luckily, it didn’t hurt her! Soon, other kids joined us. Everyone quickly got into two teams. I didn’t know the rules then, just watching others and running to keep up in the game. I didn’t kick a goal, but that didn’t matter. To my surprise, I enjoyed the experience even the sweat and the mud. Afterwards, I dribbled (运球) the ball all the way home. When Mum saw me, she could hardly (几乎不) speak. Then she smiled and said, “Take off those shoes here, mister. I don’t want mud in my house!” I ran inside, hopping all the way to the bathroom. From that day onwards, I loved playing football and even practised it in my room sometimes! Now I am a player in a club. These experiences always encourage me. Hope it can help you, too. ( )1.

These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize. 1. ________You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class. Once you have found a dream, what do you do with it? Have you ever tried to achieve your dream? Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that realising (实现) our dreams 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. 2. ________In fact, everyone can realise his or her dream.
