    b) I wish I had followed my dreams.
    c) I wish I’d made more money.
    Listen to the programme to find out the answer.

    Thanks BBC
    When we were young, we often had big dreams. Unfortunately , as we grow up, these childhood dreams often get lost in the adult world of jobs, money, families and careers. However, not everyone decides to give up and they continue to follow their dreams since they want the world to be a utopia where people could enjoy and get along with each other.
    Therefore, in this program, we’ll be listening to those making their dreams come true, not by changing the world but by changing themselves.
    According to Daisy, the first dreamer, she believes in the sharing of resources in Riverside where people get the same amount no matter how hard they work. That is a belief that people from the outside world often struggle with and find it outlandish.
    Turning to the Zapps, a family, Herman Zapps has become so humble after meeting countless people and listening to their stories. Somehow he turned to the one who was conquered by the world and realized he was just a grain of sand, small but still important.

    @alowkeygirl16 Před rokem +189

    1. utopia - a perfect world where everyone is happy.
    2. If you’re struggle with an idea, you find it difficult to accept.
    3. The adjective ‘outlandish’ means strange and unusual.
    4. ‘to conquer’ something means to control it by force
    5. Someone who is humble is not proud or arrogant.
    6. the phrase ‘a grain of sand’ describes something which is both insignificant yet somehow important.

    Thanks a lot for this video. I just want to add that follow a dream is not always something extraordinary or extreme. It can be more simple that the exemples showed by the video. It can be get the job we expect after studies, open a restaurant, live in a farm,.... I always surprised when given examples in the medias are often the same like travelling, etc. I think if the question was asked to non occidental persons, the answers maybe really different...
