英文小作文:
Dreams and Reality
Life is full of dreams, and we all have our own aspirations and goals that we strive towards. However, sometimes reality gets in the way and things don"t always go as planned. But that doesn"t mean that our dreams are beyond our reach or beyond belief. Instead, we should take a step back and see the bigger picture, realizing that our dreams are just a metaphorical step away if we keep pushing forward.
In conclusion, dreams are what make life worth living, and we should never give up on them no matter what the reality may throw at us. Take a metaphorical step forward, believe in yourself, and never let your dreams become a pipe dream.
