Part E – Short Reading (10 questions)
I sometimes dream about how my life would change if I had different opportunities. If I studied abroad, I would meet people from many countries and learn about new cultures. If I lived by the sea, I would go swimming every morning. If I had a car, I would visit my family more often. I would buy new clothes if I had more money. If my best friend lived near me, we would spend all our weekends together. But the truth is, I don’t study abroad, I don’t have a car, and I don’t live by the sea. These things are only dreams. Still, I feel happy when I imagine them. If I didn’t imagine, life would be less colorful.
