My Dreams for the Future
What will my life be like in 20 years It’s not an easy question, but here are a few of my predictions. I love art, so I think I will become an artist. I want to study art in France, and then I will visit all the famous art
museums. I will learn a lot about different artists and their works of art, and I will create my own too.
As an artist, I will live in the countryside and stay close to nature. There will be flowers and plants around my home. Life there will give me good ideas for making art. At the weekend, I will invite friends to come over and have fun together. I believe these dreams will come true as long as I study hard and keep on trying.
