Dear teachers:
Very happy and we feel we are one together - young teachers heroicfeelings，My name is Ling，graduation Yidu teacher.
I was crying my choice too，have work for me sad too，because I embarked ona career like I did not do a very poor teacher，I cry many times my choice，theycan In countless grief I have been comforted，when I saw both of that is full ofnaive，
but eager to swim in the ocean of knowledge a child，my sinking，floatingcalm the mind，and slowly I also learn from practice feel the teachers pride，he was like a Spring Silkworms，like the dedication of their own candles noregrets，I have seen it countless teachers no regrets。
and with their youth and lives to defend the sanctity of the teachingprofession，but also what they use their own actions，with traces of life，inspired by those of us who come after，I have reluctantly enamel reluctantly，by the reluctance to wholeheartedly love this job，
because I have seen that life will go beyond the utilitarian，althoughmeals for life，But the living is not for eating，living in the possession ofmany small minded，short-term birth in eternity，while the teachers are such acareer.
I know that a teacher tired，bitter，but to their own ideal，I still wouldlike to pursue，to the surging waves of fighting，to sinister mountain climbing，there may be storms，a storm，the road may be bumpy，but I still would uselaughter，with songs to fill ups and downs，I will meet with the merry laughterof the rising sun，I will be flying the heart to face my work and life.
Yes ah!

Dear every leader, teacher, dear students:
Everybody is good! The title of my speech today is "my dream" in China.
Someone says: the dream, it is a pair of wings, in my heart, dream is the desire of the heart; Dream is a power forward. It is because of dream, we will brave face of the hardships of life, e difficulties, still in the rough.
"The chaffinch Ann know far more zai", is the dream of Chen involved. "Why not xiongnu home", is the dream of huo qubing. "Become a scholar, not famous oath is not", is the dream of .
I, an ordinary primary school students, there is no wisdom, but I have my own dream. I love since childhood dream, the dream of innocence is blue, water is clear, the grass is green, the flowers smell sweet! I fly freely in the blue sky of the motherland. My dream is in front of the school: father healthier, mother is more beautiful, I am more strong, our family happiness. After school, the teacher taught me: dream to higher and further, not only little homes, and country, greater national dream. So, China's dream is my dream, my dream is the Chinese dream! Small attached to dream big dreams, little dream together, comprise the nation's dream!!!!!
This dream, like a destination, waiting for me to; This dream, like a peak, waiting for me to climb.
My dream is like a mother when a primary school teacher. Because the teacher like a red candle, lit up the children's future. The teacher like the spring rain, the little drops of the knowledge in the children's heart. Flying dream speech I want to e a scientist. I want to invent a kind of "intelligent robot", it has and the wisdom of the people, can do many things. So I can let my mother no longer hard, can easily sp every day!
I would like to e a pilot, drives the motherland warhawk, flying in the blue sky, protect the motherland airspace.
There are many stages in one's life. Each stage has a new dream, when you realize the dream, the next stage of the dream to follow. Young is strong, the country strong. The young rich, the national wealth. Juvenile is closely related to the motherland, the fewer who are not.
Have a dream, we can grow up; Have a dream, we can have the future; Have a dream, our motherland will be more powerful; Have a dream, can our world more beautiful!
My speech ed, thank you!
Dear teachers, fellow students:
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，havemoney，what are you going to do?" " Im going to buy chocolate.
if you have a lot of money?" " I will buy a lot of chocolate.
if you have money to burn?" " Ill buy chocolate factory.
" Indeed when we，innocent，with a kind heart，happineand joy is a constantmovement.
When I was young，I have a dream.
I hope you can become a kite，floating in the sky，and then slowly felldown.
Then in the green meadow like playing with companion，often chasing thewhite clouds in the sky，let the flap with laughter，do the multicoloredmulticoloured dream.
Read，I have a dream.
I hope to have a basketball; when I had time for basketball，but also wanta football; when I play football，volleyball became my pursuit.
Another has a dream into a reality when，in fact I believe that the dreamis not far away from me，as long as childish play，will be the realization of adream.
Slowly into the primary school，middle school，high school .
Will feel more pressure there，so will not be a dream，only know thatreading 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 theclassroom，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 tocapitalism，the more feel it right.
Start up high all the time，I have a dream，I hope I can become a topstudent，got many awards; home to be family praise; in school teachers have beenaffirmed; among the students to stand head and shoulders above othersperformance; in the eyes can be recognized as a good child.
But，gradually，I found that to achieve this dream and cannot rely on tochildish 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 lookat.
Sundays time is very short，baby I really want to make，slowly know lifehard and dream is really too difficult，but I will work hard，to see everyone tolive up early to catch up later，hold oneself no longer loose.
Today，I have a dream，I hope I can enter a favorite university，the bestin Beijing.
My dreams，in the high school that dark water jar for food，every day forenrich myself struggling for the future of the food，light and hard.
Dream is like a seed，in the" heart" of the soil，although it is verysmall，but can be rooted blossom，if there is no dream，just like living in thedesert of Gobi，desolate，no vitality.
Have dream，have pursuit，has the goal，has a dream，there will be adriving force.
It will urge people forward，maybe in the dreams of the road，will meetmany setbacks，but never mind，fell himself up，for his dream and forward，afterall，the future is our own creation.
Dear teachers:
Honorable Judges And Dear Fris, Good morning ! It’s my pleasure to share my dream with you today.
As we all know,everyone has a beautiful dream,so do I .my dream is to be a great translatorwhen I grow up. Because I like English very much ,and I love municate with interesting people as well .
If I e a great translator ,I would be able to talk with many foreigners in English freely and fluently,like Li Yang ,Yao Ming and Li Na .they are all outstanding people of China .I really admire them ,they’re so cool ! On the other hand ,if I e a good translator ,I could do many things for our country . For example ,Li Yang was once a member of Chinese delegation to bid for the Olympic Games .He did a good job for our China .I’ll learn him ,I’ll study hard now on and learn English very well ,only then ,can I make my e true ! If so ,I could also translate more Chinese books into English ,and spread Chinese culture throughout the world . People will know more about China . At that time ,I hope more Chinese writers could win the Nobel Prize for literature , like Mo Yan ,a great Chinese writer ,who just won the prize this year .
I know that the dream is beautiful ,but it’s not so easy to achieve the dream . I must hold on to my dream , try my best to make progress everyday . I believe strongly ,as long as I work hard , I will realize my dream some day !That’s all ! Thanks for listening !!most people would like to be popular with others, but not everyone can achieve this goal. what is the secret to popularityin fact, it is very simple. the fir
st step is to improve our
appearance. we should always make sure that we stay in good shape and dress well. when we are healthy and well-groomed, we will not only look better but also feel better. in addition, we should smile and appear frily. after all, our facial expression is an important part of our appearance. if we can do this, people will be attracted to our good looks and impressed by our confidence. 銆
Dear teachers:
Everyone has his own dream, which can be realized or not and which can be different time to time. However, there must be a long –term one in one's mind. In other words, it is not easy to be realized. I have a dream: to pass CET-6 before I graduate the university. It's maybe easy for most of my classmates, but to me it is as difficult as cracking the hardest nut in the world.
I have been studying English for about 10 years. It should not be the No.1 task in my university aga, but too many failures forced me to do so. I entered one of the most famous universities in China with the almost lowest English mark among all my students. I was really disappointed about that. Although I was not good at English when I was in the middle school, it was not at least about the average. I had no strength to face the frustration. After a semester's study I was the lowest indeed. I have never cried for study before, but this time I shed tears. Since then I made up my mind to pass CET-6 before my graduation. Glanced back to my English studying experience, I realized that interest is one of the key factors to grasp knowledge. I study English only for the examination before, but not the language itself. That is the weakest point of me. I must e it so as to realize my dream. I made a plan: read one story until I can recite it each day; listen to the tapes related to the books as well. English is not so disgusting for me now. I will persist in doing so even after I pass CET-6. I wish my English would be as good as my native language in the future. 演
Dear teachers:
Good afternoon，ladies and gentlemen!
I’m very glad to stand here to share my ideas with you. To begin with, Iwant to ask a question .Do you dream a sweet dream last nightActually, Today Iwant to talk about dreams with you. Of course. What I want to talk is not adream you have last night, but a dream about life.
Steve Jobs dreams to create something that can change the world. He did it.Wright brothers dream to fly in the sky. They did it. Tyrone Bogues dreams toplay basketball in NBA. He did it. You may find the truth easily that everygreat man always has a good dream. WhyWhy is a dream so important
Everyone has his own dream about life. Dreams are like the stars in thesky. We can never reach them. However, like most mariners, we need dreams tochart our course. We need dreams to support us. With a dream, we have adirection. With a direction, we will never be confused. With a dream, we havehope. With hope, we have the strength to fight.
Life is tough. There are always ups and downs. Maybe we fail on the way toour aims. But, the dream from the bottom of our heart can always comfort us,encourage us, and support us. In this way we have the strength to move on.Because there is nothing like a dream to build up our body and create thefuture. So remember your dream and never give up your dream easily.
Martin Luther King has a dream, and he changed America. So, ladies andgentlemen, today I hope you will remember that no matter whether it is happinessor suffering we will experience now, our future is always
here, waiting for us to paint beautiful pictures. What you need to do isjust to believe yourself and stick to your dream. Because only if we hold ourdreams, we can brighten our future.
Thank you for allowing me to share my ideas with you today。
Dear teachers:
Hello, everyone. the topic of my speech is: where college e true.
Please tell me bravely, do you want to achieve the dream in your heart? Sun Wu, a military strategist in ancient China, once said: the wise, the faithful, the benevolent, the brave and the strict also. Let's live up to our dreams today under his guidance.
First, the " wisdom" of college students
As a college student, holding his own future in his hand. If there is no great wisdom, then his future must be dim. So how do we realize our wisdom in college? Mr lee kai - fu once pointed out in his letter to college students that college students should have the way of self - study, to be able to do the three or even no teacher self - taught. This requires our own reasonable management and use of resources and time, so that we can e a true intellectual in the university.
Ii. letters university students
" letter" is the root of human behavior. " faith" is an intangible but valuable asset. If we want to deal with our personal relationship, we must first do the letter, we always like and keep the promise of people e true fris, and such a true fri in your future career to help you is always money can't replace.
Third, the " benevolence" of college students
" benevolence" is the most basic point of view in Chinese Confucianism, now can be understood as frily, as a college student, we should be frily to everyone in life, maybe he is not good now, but you can't predict whether he is your boss after five years, ten years.
Four, college students " Yong"
Our college students should face all kinds of challenges bravely. Courage is not fearless, but fearful is still forward! In learning and life, when encountered difficulties and criticism need " Yong", this time of " Yong" is to be able to not afraid of difficulties and obstacles, always adhere to the self in the right direction; And in the learning life experience failure when more need " Yong", then " Yong" is not abandoned, don't give up, can stand up to success.
Five, college students " strict"
As college students, we should strictly require ourselves. Can save my body, see xian Si Qi, see not xian is introspection, at the same time proceed with caution, not indulge yourself. But also have a firm perseverance and constant perseverance, such a person is the closest to success. Imagine a person at sunset Qin Chu, three changes a day, how can success care for him? God will only care for those who have the same perseverance.
Now, for the sake of our dream in the heart, please shout out these five words with me, I shout a everyone shout a ( come, let's shout ): wisdom, letter, benevolence, Yong, Yan.
Thank you.
Dear teachers:
Wide sea diving, the days of the birds to fly. Everyone carries a dream oftheir own.
However, what is the dream? What is dream? Dream is looking forward to, andthe dream is strong - is fleeting dream you insist on the ideal as their courageand perseverance, are you responsible for their own highest level. But askyourself, how many of us to accomplish his original dream in mind?
Our dream is a simple belief, is a future and life of their ownresponsibility. Perhaps, is the Youth
grand ambitions; perhaps, is the adolescent confusion and impulsive; maybejust a plain desire, desire applause, eager for success. Countless "may,"innumerable "hope" because of our youthful full of miracles, large and smalldreams in our hearts, in every corner of life filled with fragrance.
Only the ideal but no effort is useless. If you want to be a teacher, youshould to study hard. If you want to be a player, you should do more exercises.If you want to become a businessman, he should learn to get along with people.For example, my wish is to be a famous writer grew up, because I really lovewriting, so from now on, I should read more, more accumulate knowledge, andstrive to improve writing level. No pains, no gains, because my efforts, so myarticle was punished in many newspapers , and in many composition contest, I seethe success Im happy, so, struggle is the bridge to the ideal.
Yes, my dream. to give my famliy a warm, give my friend happy. Yes, mydream. The podium from the first station began his love this place, started fromthe first published an article looking forward to the world of words, decided tostay here from the beginning, stick to bottom of my heart desire.
Years in our faces no matter how many additional traces, no matter how muchthings to us across the chest wounds, as long as we have the right to breathe,to have a passion for remodeling dreams! Oxygen to survive as long as we have tohave the courage to create a passion!
Choose to continue, select the value, select the achievements of thepassion of life, the brave hearts of the initial dream of success!
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 bad 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. So we’ve come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
In a sense we have 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". But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check — a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quick sands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.
It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.
But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. They have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone.
As we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied, as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their selfhood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating "For Whites Only". We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.
I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive.
Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.
I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up, live up to the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal.”
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave-owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color if their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day down in Alabama with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, one day right down in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day every valley 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.
This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the South with. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
This will be the day when all of God’s children will be able to sing with new meaning.
My country, ’ tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing:
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims’ pride,
From every mountainside
Let freedom ring.
And if America is to be a great nation this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.
Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York!
Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania! Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado!
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California!
But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia! Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee!
Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi!
From every mountainside, let freedom ring!
When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, “Free at last! free at last! thank God almighty, we are free at last!”
