Ladies and Gentlemen:
It’s my great honor to stand here to share my speech with you. Today the topic of my speech is: The Pursuit of Dream.
Now let’s think of our old days as we were students in primary schools. Have you ever remembered that the teachers often ask questions as “what’s your dream?”, or “what are you want to be in the future?” and what’s your answer in that childish and fantastic age? Has anyone of you answered like this: “I want to be a painter”, or “I want to be a scientist”, or “I plan to be a police”?
A few years later, we start our new journey of study in high schools and become mature and practical in our mind. Then, have you ever changed your dreams? If so, what’s it?
But now, I think, most of us become down-to-earth and the dream is more practical than before. However, have you taken actions to pursue your dream? Are you working hard enough to make your dream come true?
As for myself, I have dreamed to be an excellent police in high school due to there are so many thefts in my hometown while they are seldom caught. Sooner I have realized how ridiculous am I and now I turn to realistic: I just want to be a translator.
How do I pursue my dream?
First of all, I try my best to correct the pronunciation and read the textbook or other English magazines such as: English weekly, English salon and the like. I try to do this day by day. Now I have improved my reading ability a lot and it also enlarged my vocabulary.
Secondly, I often do some translating extension and embrace my teacher’s suggestion. It benefits me much.
Last but not the least, I realize my dream by reading Chinese literature. Maybe you will say it’s what the Chinese major students should do. If you say so, you are badly wrong. For as an English major student, how can you know others well if you even don’t familiar with your country? On the other hand, it also benefits me in translation and writing.
In a word, I have already working in my dream. What about you?
That’s all. Thank you.
Every one has his own dream.When I was a little kid ，my dream was even to have a candy shop of my own .But now ，when I am 16 years old ，standing here ，my dreams have already changed a lot.
I have got quite different experience from other girls.While they were playing toys at home，while they were dreaming to be the princesses in the story .I was running in the hard rain，jumping in the heavy snow，pitching in the strong wind.Nothing could stop me ，because of a wonderful call from my heart -- to be an athlete.Yeah ，of course ，I'm an athlete，I'm so proud of that all the time .
When I was 10 years old ，I became a shot-put athlete.The training was really hard ，I couldn't bear the heavy shot in my hands .But I always believe that god only help those who help themselves.During those hard days，I find I was growing more quickly than others of the same age.To be an athlete is my most correct choice.But，I quit my team after entering high school because of a silly excuse.I really didn't want to stop my sports career anyway.
Today I say to you my friends that even though I must face the difficulties of yesterday ，today and tomorrow .I still have a dream .It is a dream deeply rooted in my soul.
I have a dream that one day ，I can run，jump and pitch just like I used to be.
I have a dream that one day ， I can go back to my dream sports and join the national team.
I have a dream that one day ，I can stand on the hig
hello everyone! it is my great pleasure to share my dream with you today.
my dream is to become a teacher.
you know being a teacher is a thing that is very valuable and very interesting. i suggest that it must be a great fun to be with children all the day. and if i am a teacher, i can teach my students a lot of knowledge. they might become stronger and cleverer because of me. that is a very contented feeling.
china is a developing country. chinese are not that excellent in their intellegent. so teachers in china might be very very important. they can provide the society with a lot of successful people, and make china a better place.
do you think that i have a good dream? i will work hard to make my dream become true!
thanks
Everyone has dreams. But what is a dream? In the eyes of the little matchgirl, the dream is the delicious roast duck, which is the warm embrace ofgrandma. In the eyes of deng yaping, the dream is to be brave, to be courageous,and to insist on the belief that never to surrender.
From an early age, I love dreams. I want to take a bath for nature, let theair do not pollute, the grass, the small tree straightened up; I want to be sunwukong, with a unique 72 changes. I wanted to buy all the books in thebookstore, immerse myself in the sea of books, and suck up their food for food;I want to take the time machine of doraemon, to tell the old children about mydream...
Now, I grew up, put on the bright red scarf, see the five-star red flag inthe campus fluttering. Ah! I found the wings of my dreams! A gloriousflag-bearer, raising the schools five-star red flag, and carrying the studentsbeautiful dreams.
人人都有梦想。可是，梦想是什么呢?在卖火柴的小女孩眼里，梦想是飘香的烤鸭，是奶奶温暖的怀抱;在邓亚萍大姐姐眼里，梦想是勇敢，是胆量，更是坚持心中永不服输的信念。
从小，我就喜欢梦想。我想为大自然洗个澡，让空气没有污染，小草、小树都直了身子向上长;我想成为孙悟空，有着独一无二的七十二变;我想买下书店里所有的书，沉浸在书的海洋中，吸取他们的精神食粮;我想乘上哆啦a梦的时光机，给位老的小朋友们讲述我的梦想……
现在，我长大了，戴上了鲜艳的红领巾，时时看到五星红旗在校园里飘扬。啊!我找到了梦想的翅膀!当好一名光荣的升旗手，亲手升起学校的五星红旗，载着同学们美好的梦想高高飘扬。
I have a dream that one day every vally shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
Wow, what a dream it has been for Martin Luther King. But the changing world seems telling me that people gradually get their dreams lost somehow in the process of growing up, and sometimes I personally find myself saying goodbye unconsciously to those distant childhood dreams.
However, we meed dreams. They nourish our spirit; they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality. They keep us going. Most successful people are dreamers as well as ordinary people who are not afraid to think big and dare to be great. When we were little kids, we all dreamed of doing something big and splashy, something significant. Now what we need to do is to maintain them, refresh them and turn them into reality. However, the toughest part is that we often have no ideas how to translate these dreams into actions. Well, just start with concrete objectives and stick to it. Don’t let the nameless fear confuse the eye and confound our strong belief of future. Through our talents, through our wits, through our endurance and through our creativity, we will make it.
Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow. So my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams. Whatever it is, pick it up and make it alive from today.
hello everyone!
Everyone has a dream, it is everybody yearning. But the man without a dream of the life will be empty. But dreams are always with the thought of advance and change. Begin to remember, I have a dream. I hope I have money, people always ask: "boy, this is a great dream, have money, what are you going to do?" " I'm going to buy chocolate."" if you have a lot of money?" " I will buy a lot of chocolate.""
if you have money to burn?" " I'll buy chocolate factory." Indeed when we, innocent, with a kind heart, happineand joy is a constant movement. When I was young, I have a dream. I hope you can become a kite, floating in the sky, and then slowly fell down. Then in the green meadow like playing with companion, often chasing the white clouds in the sky, let the flap with laughter, do the multicolored multicoloured dream. Read, I have a dream. I hope to have a basketball; when I had time for basketball, but also want a football; when I play football, volleyball became my pursuit. Another has a dream into a reality when, in fact I believe that the dream is not far away from me, as long as childish play, will be the realization of a dream. Slowly into the primary school, middle school, high school .... Will feel more pressure there, so will not be a dream, only know that reading to die, there is no note of those happy. Remember, I have a dream. I hope that day will not have a lot of homework to do.
A bit of time to play deprived, and our day in 40% were imprisoned in the classroom, a lot of time on their study. But in the face of learning, or a vague awareness. As the saying goes," woolly-headed", understanding, also from feudalism to capitalism, the more feel it right. Start up high all the time, I have a dream, I hope I can become a top student, got many awards; home to be family praise; in school teachers have been affirmed; among the students to stand head and shoulders above others performance; in the eyes can be recognized as a good child. But, gradually, I found that to achieve this dream and cannot rely on to childish play. Later, I learned how to fight. Bustling about home from school one day, it is leisure, listen to music, eat dinner, back to school. This day very dull, perhaps sometimes put a lot of friends; sometimes miss, or a pair of sleepy driving school. Love fashion school clothing, really want to go for a walk, take a look at. Sunday's time is very short, baby I really want to make, s
lowly know life hard and dream is really too difficult, but I will work hard, to see everyone to live up early to catch up later, hold oneself no longer loose.
Good morning/afternoon, Dear teachers and my friends. I’m a student from No.2 middle school of Qugou. My name is Zhao Bingjie. I’m very glad to stand here to make a short speech for you. Today my speech topic is “embrace the dream”.
Many people have a dream about the future besides me. I had a beautiful dream since I was a young little girl. I really want to be an outstanding writer like Guo Jingming in the future, because I liked reading very much when I was a child. So, I practice writing articles in my free time, by doing that I feel very comfortable. I love my dream and I will try my best to make my dream come true.
It’s about my dream, what about you? Do you have a dream? Do you think everyone has their own dreams? In fact, you are wrong. Many people never thought about future and what they will be like. They never have a dream . It’s not good for them. Only have dreams, then we can know what we should do for our dreams and try our best to make them true. So, it’s important and necessary to have a dream.
Someone once said that success comes from a dream. So, fellow students, let’s have a dream, and embrace the dream. Then, we will have a beautiful tomorrow!
My speech is over, thanks for your listening.

I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
five score years ago, a great american, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the emancipation proclamation. this momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. it came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.
but one hundred years later, the negro still is not free. one hundred years later, the life of the negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. one hundred years later, the negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. one hundred years later, the negro is still languished in the corners of american society and finds himself an exile in his own land. and so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
in a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. when the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the constitution and the declaration of independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every american was to fall heir. this note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable rights" of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." it is obvious today that america has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. instead of honoring this sacred obligation, america has given the negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."
Distinguished teachers, dear classmates:
Today, the title of my speech is, the teacher study, chasing dreams.
In a string of campus, had my mother's footsteps, she had told me a lot of let her remember one time, look a lot of the teacher's name, she often inspires me with that kind of gratitude and honor. In the five-star red flag flying high, many students like me, our mom and dad went out from one of the campus, they are proud of his Alma mater, the teacher to make model, constantly struggle, with the knowledge and confidence for us to build a happy life environment, the patron saint of our life.
Today, people coming from all directions, and glory in the campus. We are pleased that we are proud!
Sunrise view, under the wide river, JianShi one are compared to the party is to train talents. Clean spacious walkway, the four seasons constant new garden, garden lawn like a blanket, shaded by trees and group building, and a model with underwater sound to sing. Today, JianShi one and will celebrate her seventieth birthday, advancing with The Times JianShi one bearing the weight of rich history and culture background, send to the five hundred thousand people of high hopes.
In calling upon society in advance, era. The classmates, time and tide wait for no man! Of our fathers, and the teacher's cultivation, we are here to accept the baptism of youth, from here to chase the dream. Lost a teenager's stubborn, correction arose up coordinates; Full power to study hard, make life more colorful. I firmly believe that respect for the teacher, you, is our lead.
Every day, English teacher again and again repeated his patience; The math teacher rounds of interpretation of his profound; The teacher in charge teacher day after day superposition with his persistence and sweat. Our teacher, a day's homework in the morning mist combinations, and trying to impart knowledge; In the dim light of night off every classmate, selfless fearless devoted love.
Into the school gate, at the beginning of my study is not good, thanks to the teacher for more than a semester inculcation, there is obvious improvement in my grades, I am proud of the progress of his subjects, like I get this exercise opportunity today, full of confidence.
Beautiful campus, it is the green shade to caress, blossoming flowers will bloom. And are proud of the teacher to study; Study for volunteers, chasing dreams. Today, we're going to have one hundred times harder; Tomorrow, we can make the dream come true!
Thank you teacher!
Thank the classmates!
尊敬的各位老师，亲爱的同学们：
你们好!
今天，我演讲的题目是，《尊师勤学，追逐梦想》。
在一串的校园里，曾有过我妈妈的足迹，她给我讲过很多让她记忆犹新的一中岁月，历数过好多好多老师的名字，她经常用那种感恩和荣誉激励着我。在高高飘扬的五星红旗下，很多同学跟我一样，我们的爸爸妈妈从一中的校园走了出去，他们以母校为荣，以老师作榜样，用知识和信心不断打拼，为我们建造了幸福的生活环境，成为我们生命的守护神。
而今，大家从四面八方走来，也荣聚在这所校园里。我们欣慰，我们自豪!
朝阳观下，广润河畔，人们把建始一中比作是培育英才的一方沃土。宽敞清洁的走道，四季常新的花园，碧如绒毯的草坪，绿树与群楼掩映，书声与水声同唱。而今，建始一中又将迎来她七十岁的生日，与时俱进的建始一中承载着丰厚的历史文化底蕴，寄予着五十万人的殷切希望。
社会在前进，时代在呼唤。同学们，时不我待!父辈的寄托，老师的培育，我们在这里接受青春的洗礼，从这里去追逐梦想。丢掉少年时期的顽劣，修正勃发向上的坐标;充实勤学苦练的本领，打造绚丽多彩的人生。我坚信，尊敬的老师，您，就是我们的引路人。
每天，英语老师一遍又一遍的重复着他的耐心;数学老师一轮又一轮的诠释着他的深邃;班主任老师一天又一天的叠加着他的执著和汗水。我们的老师，顶着晨雾组合一天的功课，身心竭力地传授知识;披着夜色送走每一个同学，无私无畏地倾注关爱。
初进校门的时候，我的学习并不好，感谢老师一个多学期的谆谆教诲，我的成绩有了明显的提高，我为自己学科的进步而感到自豪，就像我今天获得的这次锻炼机会一样，充满信心。
美丽的校园里，正是有了绿荫呵护，鲜花就会朵朵盛开。尊师为荣，致力勤学;勤学为志，追逐梦想。今天，我们要有百倍的努力;明天，我们才能梦想成真!
谢谢老师!

I am grateful for the opportunity to deliver my speech here after 7-days’ preparation with my friend Jinly. Thanks to Jinly’s strong support in our work. I think it is my way of saying thank you to you that giving an excellent presentation to all my friends here.
The subject of our presentation is “YOUR DREAM & YOUR GOAL”. During the next 10 minutes, we’ll give you a brief explanation of these stuff at the best of our knowledge.
First of all, I’d like to spent 3 or 5 minutes on discussing about the dream. When we were 5, they asked us what we want to be when we grow up. We answered like superman, princess, or in my case, a sailor moon. When we were 10, again they asked and the answer was policemen, doctors and some other high-principled jobs. But unfortunately, we finally found our dreams unrealistic as we entered a not-so-good high school, did not-so-good school works and went to a not-so-good direction in our life. I guess, many of you have thought about changing your dreams, but finally felt at a loss again. Yep! We’re adults and they are waiting for a serious answer. Well, how about this? WHO THE HELL KNOWS! Dream is only a dream. It’s unnecessary for us to think over our dreams all day long. You know, dreams always change, and this is not the time to make difficult decisions. But what do dreams do? Why do we still have an urgent need of dreams?
Think about it: do you have had a time when you were full of happiness just because you have made an achievement that pushes you a bit to your dream? Do you have had a time when you insist on what you were doing even the tears keep falling from your eyes? That is the power from dreams! May I equate the faith and the dream here? As we all know, aims and dreams are far from each other to some extent but close to each other on the other hand. Just like the parabola and the number line in mathematics. But it is the dream that help us to map out our aim and work out plans one after another in our life. Just like what Howard Schultz, the founder of the Starbuck said, Dreams are like the stars----we never reach them, but like mariners, we chart our course by them. And I believe that if you have a dream and make efforts step by step, some of you may extremely finish the quantitative change on the way to success and reach the qualitative change!
I would like to finish my part by a tongue twister: Whether the weather be fine or whether the weather be not. Whether the weather be cold or whether the weather be hot. We'll weather the weather whether we like it or not. Whatever you dreams are and however difficult it is to realize them. Reach your aim step by step and I believe your dreams will extremely come into truth!
Thank you for your lending an attentive ear to my point of view. Let’swelcome Jinly and she will talk about the goal, which is the other part of our presentation, during the next 5 minutes.
Forgive my stupid words and it’s my pleasure to answer any of your questions after class!
You have been a very attentive audience---- thank you~!
Honorable jaduges ,ladies and gentlemen ,good afternoon !
I feel honored to be here ,giving me speech to you . Today my topic is “ the pursuit of dreams “
I would like to begin my speech with a short poem , entitled Dreams .Hold fast to dreams ,for if dreams die ,life is a broken-winged bird that can not fly ;hold fast to dreams ,for when dreams go ,life is a barren field ,frozen with snow .In this poem ,to some extent ,we can know the importance of dreams .
I am sure all of you here ,have your own dreams ,since we are in youth ,which is the golden period of our life ,full of imagination ,creativity ,enthusiasm and strength .We should have dreams .It can be our guiding star ,hanging in front of us ,lighting our way .When we feel puzzled ,tired or depressed ,it is our dreams guiding us ,let us go forward bravely .
My dear audience ,as a college student what kind of dream should we have ? Maybe you will say “well ,it depends “.I think so ,but there still exist some basic requirements and expectations about our dreams . We are young ,representing the future of our country . We should have a high sense of duty towards our family ,our country .we must link our dream with the demands and prosperity of our country .Have a great dream !
Just as when we see the collapsed school in the earthquake ,the poor children under the concrete and steel , besids sympathy ,I really hope that I am an engineer ,who can build the strongest and unshakable school for them . When I heared four girls of Shanghai Business School jumped out of the balcony from the 6th floor ,for their domitory was on fire . I really hope that I am a qualified manager who can take preventive measures to avoid the disaster ,and offer help as soon as possible,if it really happened .
In our youth,we should have dream and pursue our dream bravely .Then when we grow old ,looking back ,we would feel no regret for this period of life . Hope all of you here ,have your dream and through your effort ,all of your dreams can come ture !
Thank you very much ! ladies and gentlemen .
Good morning, it's my honor to stand here and give you this speech about dreams. There I want to start my speech with two short stories.
The first story happened when I was in primary school, I wrote in my composition that my dream was to be a teacher when I grew up. Meanwhile, what my classmates wrote about their dreams was that he or she wanted to be a doctor, a scientist or an astronaut.
The second story happened at my first year in university. At the careers planning class, when the teacher asked about our dreams, one of my classmates stood up and said, “I want to be a farmer, because I grow up in a farmer's family and I love to be engaged in agriculture.” When he sat down, everyone clapped.
These two stories happened during my growth process, from which I got my understanding of dreams. When I was a child I believed that a dream must be a big dream, but when I grow up I find this big dream is so far away from me, I know little about it, and I have done nothing to achieve it, so it's not my dream. My classmate's answer let me know a real dream is not just about being a great man, or doing a great job, it's about what you really want to be, and are willing to try every effort to pursue it.
Because what makes a dream valuable is not just about the result, it's also about the process, the process when you are trying, when you are struggling, when you failed and restarted again and again, because of the process, dreams can be meaningful and become your wealth.
Thank you.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day every vally shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
Wow, what a dream it has been for Martin Luther King. But the changing world seems telling me that people gradually get their dreams lost somehow in the process of growing up, and sometimes I personally find myself saying goodbye unconsciously to those distant childhood dreams.
However, we meed dreams. They nourish our spirit; they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality. They keep us going. Most successful people are dreamers as well as ordinary people who are not afraid to think big and dare to be great. When we were little kids, we all dreamed of doing something big and splashy, something significant. Now what we need to do is to maintain them, refresh them and turn them into reality. However, the toughest part is that we often have no ideas how to translate these dreams into actions. Well, just start with concrete objectives and stick to it. Don’t let the nameless fear confuse the eye and confound our strong belief of future. Through our talents, through our wits, through our endurance and through our creativity, we will make it.
Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow. So my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams. Whatever it is, pick it up and make it alive from today.
抓牢你的梦想
我今天有一个梦想。
我梦想有一天，幽谷上升，高山下降，崎岖之地变平原，曲折之路成坦途。圣光展露，满照人间。
这对马丁路德金是怎样的一个梦想啊。不过这个变化着的世界似乎在告诉我，在成长的过程中，人们却不知不觉把他们的梦想弄丢了，而我自己也有时会觉得在告别很多童年的梦。
然而，我们是需要梦想的。梦想滋养我们的灵魂，梦想代表着我们被现实拉垮时依然具有的希望。它鼓励我们不断前进。大多数成功人士都是梦想家，同时也是普通人，只是他们敢于梦想敢于成就伟大。当我们还是孩子的时候，我们都梦想过做一番大事业，现在应当做的就是保存好那些梦想，再度恢复它们，并将它们实现。不过最难的是我们通常不知道怎样付诸实施。那么，就从最具体的目标开始，坚持去做吧。不要让那些莫名的恐惧迷惑了我们的双眼，影响了我们对未来的信念。用我们的天资和智慧，用我们的耐力和创造力，我们一定会实现梦想。
抓牢你的梦想，因为如果梦想死亡，生活就成了一只折断翅膀的鸟再也不能飞翔。抓牢你的梦想，因为如果失去梦想，生命就成了一块覆盖着冰雪的贫瘠的冻土。亲爱的朋友们，想想那些过去的或已经死去的梦想吧。不管是什么，重新将它捡起，并从今天开始让它重生。
