What do you think you should do to make your dream come true in the future?

Which do you think will help you fulfill your dream, hard work, a good environment or both?

Do you know that in other parts of the world, there are lots of children who are still struggling with starvation or war? Do you think that they have dreams as well? What do you think they can do to realize their dreams?

Have you ever thought about doing something for those children to help them realize their dreams? If you have, what would you do?

Have students discuss and report their answers to the class. Help students understand that not everyone in the world has the same opportunities. It would be very hard for some people in poor areas to realize even a simple dream like having a warm bed to sleep in at night. Something should be done for those who are suffering a lot.
