• 3．①Setting goals can make you feel confident and help your dreams into reality（現(xiàn)實(shí)）.And the start of a new school year can be a great time to set some goals for yourself，as these can help you feel hopeful about the future.

"I like to get my homework finished on time so I don't stress about it.So I write down a list of what needs to be done and tick it off where I've finished. "
     ▲
     ③The Big Life Journal is a website that gives ideas and advice for becoming more confident.It says setting goals teaches you to hold on，which means sticking at something even when the going gets tough.Setting goals can also help you discover what you can do well.Whatever goal you choose，make it realistic（現(xiàn)實(shí)的） and something you can reach.Setting your goals too high can lead to disappointment and stop you wanting to try again.
