I train properly and want to be famous. My mother thinks that I will win the competitions. It’s not so easy to do. But I must do everything to achieve this aim. When we want anything very much our dreams come true.
B. It is very difficult to show all your talents to other people. I do to a musical school. I think that I play the guitar very well. I often play the guitar in front of a hundred of people. In such situations I am always nervous. I should train more properly to be the best musician at my school. All my friends want to play any musical instruments like me. I believe that if I train harder I will play better.
C.I have got many friends. Most of them are my classmates. There are boys and girls among them. My best friend is Alex. He is not the best pupil at our school. But he likes several subjects in our timetable. These subjects are History and Music. He doesn’t spend much time on doing his homework. Alex thinks that it is very difficult to do it. My mother says that he should try more seriously to get better results. But my friend doesn’t want to work harder.
