Step 1
Read this short text about hope.
Discuss your first impression with a partner.
Hope is a feeling of expectation and a wish for a particular thing
to happen. It lifts us to achieve our dreams and drives us
forward toward achieving our goals. When things don't seem to
be going well, hope takes our hand and leads the way. Hope is so
many things; the light at the end of the tunnel, rays of sunshine
after the storm, twinkling stars on a clear bright night. Hope is
the full moon which helps us shine; it steers our ship towards
our dreams and leads us to better days. When we lose hope, we
are like a rudderless ship drifting without direction. Having and
finding hope, then, is essential for focussing on our dreams and
continuing to sail in the right direction. Choose hope.
