1 Read the internet blog and check () A, B, or C.

Do you have a bucket list?

Today’s topic on our page asks about your hopes and dreams. Add your
comments, and we’ll post the best ones here. Here are some responses from
our website team.

Juan
I’m only 18, so there are a lot of things I would like to do in my life. However, I don’t just want
to write a list of dreams, so I’m thinking about things I can really do. For example, I decided
to learn the guitar when I was sixteen, and finally last week I booked some lessons. Also, I
promised to learn to cook because my mom came to stay in my apartment, and I could only
make toast, so she bought me a cookbook! Now once a week I read the cookbook carefully
and make a new dish. My mom’s really happy, and I’m eating more healthily, too.

Mi-Sook
My twin sister and I wrote bucket lists last year when we were 30, but not all the things are
the same. She would like to be a vegetarian, but I don’t really want to stop eating meat. We
both plan to go to a big outdoor concert in the next year or two so we can do that together.
We also want to travel, but she would like to see Africa, and I hope to go to India. On my list I
wrote ‘meet Rihanna,’ but I don’t think that’s going to happen, so instead I really hope to
learn to swim. I’m very frightened of water, so it isn’t something I can do easily, but I want to
try.

Liam
My girlfriend, Haruko, is half Japanese, and she’s teaching me her language. It’s a difficult
goal for me, but I’m taking it seriously. I don’t think I’m ever going to speak it fluently, but I’m
going to try to speak it well by Haruko’s 25 th birthday. I want to talk to her father then
because I hope to make her my wife.
