Hi, Oliver,
This week, we talked about our goals and predicted(预测) the future at school. Many students don’t know what they want to be when they grow up. But I wrote that I hoped to be a famous scientist like Bill Gates. I want to work hard and have a lot of money. I want to buy what I need with the money. Do you know what you’re going to be when you’re older, Oliver? Maybe you’ll be a basketball player like Yao Ming. Jenny told me that you were a very good player this year.
