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.
