My Dream (First paragraph) It was a kind of popular topic among my friends when I was young. Almost everyone wanted to become somebody, and it is easy for children to admire someone if they have a clear and great dream. I was the same. In the pressure of all kinds of Chinese-style examinations, talking about dreams became one of my motivations to study hard. But over time, people didn’t talk about it as often. I think it is not only because people’s dreams change, but also more and more people realize that if they only talk about it, it couldn’t become reality. I have had many different dreams as I grow up. In my early age, my dream was to become an astronaut. When a child starts to know more about the world, they are much likely to be attracted to something unknown. Universe is full of mystery and I was full of confidence to find them out. ----------- P.S. This is actually a speech. I gave myself a topic, say it without too much consideration, and record it. This is first part of my speech. My boyfriend said, maybe there are not so many grammar mistakes but native speakers wont say it in this way. Even when they see this text, they will know I am a foreigner. My question to native speakers: if you were me, how would you say the content which I said above. You do not have to be too formal. Thank you very much if you can help me.
