As teenagers, you have many dreams. Do you ever try to make your dreams come true? Follow your heart by the Australian writer Andrew Mathews tells us that making our dreams come true is life’s biggest challenge.

You may think you’re not good at some school subjects, or it is impossible for you to become a writer. “If you think in this way, it will stop you getting your dreams come true,” the book says. In fact, everyone can make his dreams come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dreams are.

There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results. And saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.
