Do you have a bucket list?

Today’s topic on our message board asks about your hopes and dreams. Add
your comments and we’ll post the best ones here. Here are some responses
from our website team.
Jonah
I’m only 18 so there are a lot of things I would like to do in my life. However, I don’t just want
to write a list of dreams so I’m thinking about things I can really do. For example, I decided to
learn the guitar when I was sixteen and finally last week I booked some lessons. Also, I
promised to learn to cook because my mum came to stay in my flat and I could only make
toast so she bought me a cookbook! Now once a week I read the cookbook carefully and
make a new dish. My mum’s really happy and I’m eating more healthily, too.

Diana
My twin sister and I wrote bucket lists last year when we were 30 but not all the things are
the same. She would like to be a vegetarian but I don’t especially want to stop eating meat.
We both plan to go to a big outdoor concert in the next year or two so we can do that
together. We also want to travel but she would like to see Africa and I hope to go to India. On
my list I wrote ‘meet Rihanna’ but I don’t think that’s going to happen so instead I really hope
to learn to swim. I’m very frightened of water so it isn’t something I can do easily but I want to
try.

Liam
My girlfriend, Haruko, is half Japanese and she’s teaching me her language. It’s a difficult
goal for me but I’m taking it seriously. I don’t think I’m ever going to speak it fluently but I’m
th
going to try to speak it well by Haruko’s 25 birthday. I want to talk to her father then
because I hope to make her my wife.

Example: Jonah bought a guitar when he was sixteen.

C Doesn’t say 
1 Jonah’s bucket list has a lot of dreams in it.

2 He promised his mum to learn to cook.

3 He makes food for his mum once a week.

4 Diana and her sister’s lists are different.

5 Diana’s sister wants to stop eating meat.

6 They are both going to go to an outdoor concert.
