4. Read the quotations in ex. 1a and choose the one you would like to use as an epigraph to your essay. Explain why you have chosen it. Compare your idea with your partner's.

5. Read parts of students' compositions about their future goals. Find ideas you would like to include in your composition. Talk to your partner and explain why.

1. A person needs to achieve certain goals in one's life be­fore you can call them successful. Success is to achieve the goals you have set. I have set certain goals I would like to achieve in my lifetime. ... My professional goals in life are to get a good education, to find a good job that makes me happy and makes enough money for me to support my family.

2. One of my goals for the future is to be happy regardless of what I choose to do. I want to be satisfied with my decisions, to be able to accept and forgive, and most of all to be able to live up to the expectations I have for myself. I realise I cannot set my goals and dreams on the basis of others and I need to achieve things for myself. I will only accomplish my goal in being hap­py when I am able to live my life for myself and still be able to provide love and support to others.

3. My goal is to be a role model especially for my younger brother but also to all my younger cousins, nieces, nephews, and to all the young kids out there to never give up hope. Some­day, I will reach my destination in life when I earn my degree...

4. First of all, I need to get a high score on the SAT[1] test be­cause I want to go to a good college with a scholarship. In order to do this, I have to learn many things about grammar, writ­ing, reading and vocabulary. I have to learn as much as possible because I don't have a lot of time just to focus on them only. I have about one and a half more years to study for the SATs. The test won't be easy; it is a challenge for students who want to receive a good education. If I get a good education, it will be easier for me to find a good job in the future.

5. Your future depends on the actions and decisions that you make on a daily basis. Even though the world is chaotic, we still have paths in life to follow. It's up to us which path we take to achieve our future goals. Once we have thought above what we want from life it is up to us to plan and to stay on course to order to achieve it. We might run into obstacles along the way, but we should still be able to stay focused and move ahead. Any struggles or obstacles that we may face need to be used as a learning experience. It is up to us to achieve the future that we want. Many of us are afraid to step into adulthood. We feel that we are missing out on our youth instead of starting the rest of our lives. We have to realise that when we close one chap­ter in our lives, another one opens for something new in our lives. The key to life is looking ahead and it takes vision, trust, and courage to work towards your future. We need to learn to leave the past in the past and not let it hinder our future. Let's learn to have a go and set our journey ahead by having confi­dence and setting concrete plans.
