Monty Robert’s father was a horse trainer. As a child, Monty often went from one farm to   21  with his father. Sometimes they didn’t have enough money to   22   food, but Monty still kept hoping to own a   23   farm.

When he was in school, his teacher asked him to write a paper   24   what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. He wrote a seven-page paper   25   his dream of having a horse farm one day. He   26   drew a picture of a horse farm in the paper.

The next day he handed   27   in to his teacher. Two days later, he got his paper back. On the front page was a large red “F” with some words “See me after class.”   28   the boy did and asked his teacher, “Why did I get an F?” The teacher said, “This dream will not   29   for a young boy like you.   30   a horse farm needs a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for a lot of things. There is no way you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “If you write this paper again with a   31   dream, I will give you a good grade.”

After school he thought about it   32  . At last, he decided to hand in the same paper, making   33   changes at all. He wrote, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my   34  .”

Many years later, Monty had his own 200 acres horse farm. His dream came true.

If you ask any young English person where he would like to go for a day, he will say “A theme park, please!” So after the exams(考試), some English teachers take their students to a theme park like Alton Towers for the day. It’s a way of thanking the students for working hard.

  Every year, the students, aged 16 at Southside School, go to Alton Towers when they have done their GCSE exams. Let’s ask some students about their day at the park.

Peter: “I didn’t like getting up early. We must meet at school at six in the morning to get on the bus. The journey took 3 hours and we sang a lot of songs when we were on the bus, so it was fun. Then we had several hours at the park.”

  Sara: “I was afraid because some of the rides were too fast and high. But I did go on three rides. My best friend, Karen, had to sit down beside me. I could not go on the ride alone. ”

  Alan: “My cap flew away with the wind, so a kind man picked it up and gave it to me. I took some good pictures there. I felt really happy”

  Sue: “I went to the water ride four times and I was very wet(濕的).”
  Graham: “I went on the new ride with Jackie. She was afraid so she closed her eyes all the time. The water ride is the best.”

  Jane: “I love it all. And I want to go again, even if I have to go some more exams first! I wish the rides were faster!

Laura: “I felt excited the night before I went there. I got up very early that morning. I enjoyed every minute of it.”
