Wang Ming is a junior middle school student. He is now studying in Grade 8. He had many dreams when he was little. But as time goes by, some new dreams appear and some old ones disappear. However, only one dream is still in his mind.
Wang Ming says that when he was a child, he heard about rockets(火箭)and spaceships. At first, he didn’t know what they were. From his father, he knew that scientists make rockets to carry things into space, and that spaceships are used to carry people through space. Since then, he has had a real interest in space. Every time he sees beautiful stars and the moon in the sky at night, he gets very excited. He is always dreaming that he can fly to space to look at the Earth one day.
His mother knows about his dream and encourages him.
In school, Wang Ming learned that the first man flew into space in 1961. And later, more astronauts succeeded in traveling into space. Some astronauts even landed on the moon. His teacher always encourages him to learn more. He knows not everyone has a chance to travel into space. More importantly, before he can fly to space, he must receive a lot of special training.
Wang Ming knows it’s not easy to achieve his dream, but he decides to try his best. He says, “I’ve had this dream for many years. It brings me a lot of joy and always gives me power. Even if it doesn’t come true in the end, I won’t be sorry.”
