Exercise II.

Do you have lots of dreams and ambitions for the future? I do! For example, I think it would be important to become a brilliant physicist and be famous all over the world because I had made a great discovery. The problem is, I'm not very good at science! So instead, I'd like to have a boat, and travel up and down the canals in my country. I love being on water! And during my journeys, I could spend some time taking photographs of the countryside and selling them to make money. Then in my spare time, I could read my favorite novels! Sounds great, doesn't it?
