What do you think of this piece of writing? I really like it. I like the way it is not only about dreaming but also feels dreamy to read.

A short while before he left Repton for good, Roald had passed exams in English, history, maths, science, French and religious education. He knew that when he reached his twenty-fifth birthday he would start to receive a small but regular amount of money which his father had left in trust for him. But that was years away. Some young men in his position joined the army, navy or air force. Others became priests or ministers of the church or missionaries. But none of these jobs appealed to Roald.

His headmaster said that Roald had ‘ambition and a real artistic sense … If he can master himself, he will be a leader’. By this he meant that he believed that Roald would do very well one day, particularly through writing, music and art, but only if he got himself organized!

I think Roald’s headmaster was pretty much spot on, don’t you?
