I like to dream about my future. If I study hard this year, I will pass my exams and go to university. My parents will be happy if I succeed. But sometimes I imagine things that are not real. If I were rich, I would travel to many countries. If I had a big house, I would invite my friends to live with me. Of course, these are only dreams. In real life, I must take care of myself.
