Look back at your answers to exercise A on page 32. Compare your goals to George’s.

Are they similar or different? What other goals would you add tp the list ?

George is like any human in the world, he has many dreams and goals that he wish to achieve them…

George wants to live a good life, to have a big hause ,money, a good job, and a girl to hang out with in additin he wants respect yo reach those goals .

George will achieve all of his goals, only if he improves his educationto overcome the situation he is in andhe will gain a job then he will count maoney and can buy a big home and get married the girl that he loves, all of his goags are related on education.

I have alot of dreams and goals, that I will overcome the obstcles to achieve them.

The most important of my goals is to be happy and very lucky with my family (families is the most specail and beautiful in our life)…

Also my dream is to finish school with an excellant grades to complate learning in the unversity and be a successful person in my life !

I think that my dreams are similar to Goerge’s dreams because we all want to be with our families and to be an educated persons…!
