If you find a dream, what do you do with it Do you ever try to make your dream come true Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams come true is life's biggest challenge.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
"You may think you're not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible (不可能) for you to become a star. These ideas stop you from realizing your dream," the book says.21·世纪*教育网
In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first important thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.2-1-c-n-j-y
Don't let it leave your heart (心). Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step (一步一步地) and your dream will come true faster. A big dream is, in fact, many small dreams.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
Never give up (放弃) your dream. There will be difficulties on the road. But the biggest problem comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of (代替) watching TV will bring you better exam points. Saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book. When you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. Then you will be able to learn more skills and find new interests.【版权所有：21教育】

Language points
eg:Miss Wang is one of the most popular
teachers in our school.

一。
2.Even more serious difficulties include
freezing weather conditions and heavy storms.
difficulty既可作可数名词也可作不可数名词，在此用作可数名词。做可数名词时，difficulty常用作复数，表示具体概念，即：各种各样的“困难; 难事; 难题”。作不可数名词时，difficulty可译作“困难；艰难；辛苦；费劲”。

It is + adj. + to do sth.，it作形式主语放在句首，而把真正的主语放在句尾。常用于此句型的形容词有important, difficult, dangerous, necessary, useful, possible等，用来对to do sth.进行说明。此句型可以转换成To do sth. is + adj.。
3.It is also very hard to take in air as you get near the top.
e.g. It is important to study English well.

It’s very difficult to climb Qomolangma.
攀登珠穆朗玛峰很难。
give up 意为“放弃”,后面可以接名词、代词或动名词作宾语。如果宾语是名词,那么名词可以放在 give 和 up 之间,也可以放在 up 之后;如果宾语是代词,那么代词只能放在 give 和 up 之间。
4.The spirit of these climbers shows us that we should never give up trying to achieve our dreams.
e.g. My uncle wants to give up drinking wine.
我叔叔想戒酒。
Although English isn’t easy to learn,I won’t
give it up.虽然英语不易学,但我不会放弃。
even though用作从属连词,意为“即使;尽管”,相当于even if,引导让步状语从句,不与并列连词but连用。
5.Why do so many people try to climb this mountain even though it is dangerous
e.g. Mr. Wang will come on time even though it rains.尽管下雨，但王老师会按时来。
Even if you are with your friends,it is better to keep your voice down in public places.即使你与朋友在一起,在公共场合也不要大声喧哗。
