It was the last night of my summer camp.  16  I didn’t want to leave, I had to go back home the next day. I didn’t want to pack (收拾行裝). I just wanted to make the night go  17  . How I wished that I could make time  18  at that moment! However, it seemed that time flew more quickly than before. I  19   on the bed, but I wasn’t   20  at all. I just closed my   21  , thinking of every minute I had    22   with my friends during the camp.

Just then, someone  23  the door. “Open the door, please.” said a soft   24  . I thought it was my friend, Elle. So I replied, “It’s open.” Then the door   25 . When I looked at the door, I was   26 . There stood all my friends, Elle, Lily, Sally and Allie. Together they walked over to my  27   and then each of them gave me a big hug (擁抱). We  28  our phone numbers and e-mail addresses to each other. We said that no matter how far we would be away from each other, we would  29  forget each other.

Just then, a tear slowly rolled down my face. As I looked up, I noticed all of my friends’ eyes were also   30  .

Monty Robert’s father was a horse trainer. As a child, Monty often went from one farm to  21  with his father. Sometimes they didn’t have enough money to   22  food, but Monty still kept hoping to own a   23  farm.
When he was in school, his teacher asked him to write a paper   24  what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. He wrote a seven-page paper   25  his dream of having a horse farm one day. He   26  drew a picture of a horse farm in the paper.
The next day he handed   27  in to his teacher. Two days later, he got his paper back. On the front page was a large red “F” with some words “See me after class.”   28  the boy did and asked his teacher, “Why did I get an F?” The teacher said, “This dream will not   29   for a young boy like you.   30  a horse farm needs a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for a lot of things. There is no way you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “If you write this paper again with a   31  dream, I will give you a good grade.”
After school he thought about it   32 . At last, he decided to hand in the same paper, making   33  changes at all. He wrote, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my   34 .”
Many years later, Monty had his own 200 acres horse farm. His dream came true.
So don’t let   35  take away your dreams. Follow your dreams, no matter what they are.
