📖 Reading Passage
I often think about my future and my dreams. If I work hard this year, I will pass my exams and go to college. If I pass, my parents will be very proud of me. But sometimes I imagine different lives. If I were rich, I would travel around the world. If I lived near the beach, I would swim every morning. If I had wings, I would fly in the sky. Of course, these things are not real, but they are fun to imagine. In real life, I must be careful too. If I don’t eat healthy food, I will feel sick. If I don’t sleep enough, I will be tired at school. That’s why I need to make good choices. If I study hard and take care of myself, I will have a better future.
