My dream was to become a school teacher in the future. In fact，I have had the dream since my childhood. In my opinion，with teachers，no society could make progresses. There is no doubt whether teachers play an importantly role in children's growth. Not only do teachers pass on knowledge to children，but we also teach children how to behave themselves. Comparing with other jobs，teaching is hard and the pay is low. And to me，what a great fun it is to be with children！They make me feel young forever so I'll study hard and try my best realize my dream.

Dear Tom，

It's my honor to share my dream university to you. I'm glad to tell you that my dream university is Peking University，that is one of the best university in the world.

There are several reasons why I like Peking University. At first，it had first-class teachers and equipment, which will help me make the progress quickly. Secondly, it is famous for their positive academic atmosphere, where students study hardly to meet new challenges. But at last, my brother, who studies there, says he is very satisfying with the university.

It's not easy enter Peking University, but I think my dream will come true if I work hard. Could you tell me something about your dream university?

Yours,

Li Hua
