Monty Robert’s father was a horse trainer. As a child, Monty often went from one farm to   1  with his father. Sometimes they didn’t have enough money to   2   food, but Monty still kept hoping to own a   3   farm.

When he was in school, his teacher asked him to write a paper   4   what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. He wrote a seven-page paper   5   his dream of having a horse farm one day. He   6   drew a picture of a horse farm in the paper.

The next day he handed   7   in to his teacher. Two days later, he got his paper back. On the front page was a large red “F” with some words “See me after class.”   8   the boy did and asked his teacher, “Why did I get an F?” The teacher said, “This dream will not   9   for a young boy like you.   10   a horse farm needs a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for a lot of things. There is no way you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “If you write this paper again with a   11   dream, I will give you a good grade.”

After school he thought about it   12  . At last, he decided to hand in the same paper, making   13   changes at all. He wrote, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my   14  .”

Many years later, Monty had his own 200 acres horse farm. His dream came true.

So don’t let   15   take away your dreams. Follow your dreams, no matter what they are.

There are over 800 boarding （寄宿） schools in the UK with students from home and foreign countries. Boarding schools started hundreds of years ago in the country. But the earliest boarding schools were set up for white, rich boys only. Now both boys and girls can go to boarding schools from the age of 7 to 18.

What to do

In the UK, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, with about 13 weeks in each term. Students study and live together. They can’t go outside if they are not allowed to. In some schools, each student has his or her subject plan. Besides the usual classrooms and laboratories, the boarding schools have lots of other facilities for their students, including music rooms, boats, swimming pools, cinemas and theatres. Most boarding schools have a “l(fā)ight out” time. So when it’s time to go to bed, all the lights in the bedrooms are turned off. There are house-masters to take care of students all the time, especially after school hours.

What to wear

Nearly all students at boarding schools wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse, sometimes also a tie and a skirt. As students get older, the rules become less strict.

In the UK, boarding schools provide students with delicious food. They can choose to have a full English breakfast or simply bread. They can also choose between a meal with no meat and another meal at lunch and dinner. And there is always self-service for salad （沙拉）, other side dishes and a dessert. Students can also make themselves something to eat at any time in a kitchen, or drink tea or have a snack between meals.
