As the whole world has its boundaries, limits and freedom coexist in our life. I dont expect complete freedom which is impossible. I simply have a dream that supports my life.I dream that one day, I could escape from the deep sea of thick school books and lead my own life. With my favorite fictions, I lie freely on the green grass, smelling the spring, listening to the wind singing, breathing the fresh and cool air and dissolve my soul in nature at last. Simple and short enjoyment can bring me great satisfaction.

I dream that one day the adults could throw their prejudice of comic and cartoon away. They could keep a lovely heart which can share sorrow and happiness with us while watching cartoon or doing personal things. Thats the real communication of heart to heart.

I have the belief that my dreams should come true. I am looking forward to some day coming when I am like a proud eagle which flies to the blue and vast sky.

我有一个梦想，那就是能发明一辆环保小车，能让环保小车遍布世界。

它的外形和普通小车没有两样，可是它的功能多着呢!让我为您细细讲解这辆环保小车吧!

这辆小车在行驶过程中，车只要“看见”地上有垃圾，就会伸出两条机械手，“捡”起地上的垃圾，把它“吃”进“肚子”里。在环保小车的机体有种药剂，“吃”进去的垃圾就会碰到这种药剂，然后立刻化掉，车尾就会排出新鲜的空气。

您会想，要是没有电怎么办?您不用担心，我会在机身上安装灰尘转电器。在行驶过程中，灰尘转电器会吧地上吸进的灰尘转为电能。还要装上一种特殊的电池，把灰尘转来的电能储存到电池里，提供环保小车所需的能量，供小车不停地行驶。

下雨时，雨水淋在车身上，小车就会把雨水储存起来。您猜一猜雨水储存起来到底哟哟什么用处呢?还是让我来告诉您吧!小车在行驶中，路边如果有树木，这种环保小车就会把水洒在绿树的身上，给树木提供足够的水分。供它茁壮成长。

……

我梦想未来我能发明这样的环保小车，如果这种环保车能得到普及，那世界就不在有那么多污染了。人们将生活在一个低碳的世界里，健康快乐的工作、生活。

The International Childrens Day (ICD) is celebrated in numerous countries, usually (but not always) on June 1 each year.

The ICD had its origin in the World Conference for the Wellbeing of Children in Geneva, Switzerland in 1925. It is not clear as to why June 1 was chosen as the ICD: one theory has it that the Chinese consul-general in San Francisco (USA) gathered a number of Chinese orphans to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in 1925, which happened to be on June 1 that year, and also coincided with the conference in Geneva.

June 1 has since been observed as the ICD by numerous countries, especially by Communist countries; in the Western world the ICD is usually celebrated on other days of the year (if at all)， and there is often little public awareness about these celebrations. (See the section on Germany below for further discussions.) Consequently there is sometimes a misperception that June 1 as the ICD was a Communist invention. Nonetheless, in recent years even some groups within the United States started observing the ICD on June 1.

Since i was an innocent child, i had the idea to be a doctor in the future. I always see the people died in the TV, i feels

frustrated about it. therefore, a dream to be a doctor came into my mind. I want to be the person who can save people＇s life just like God Jesus

人类因梦想而永生，失去理想，生与死无异。人，是为了梦想而活，一个人若是没有梦想，那要为何而活呢?

The dream of eternal life for mankind, lost ideals, life and death is. People, in order to live, if a person does not want to live that dream, why?

我有一个梦，一个简单，却又难以实现的梦。那是一个在远离都市，与自己的家人过着与世无争的日子的梦;而这个梦想与现实的差距，需要用奋斗来拉近。梦想点燃希望，有希望，人才会去奋斗，来达成愿望，进而完成梦想。因此，我有了这个梦想，接着，我要点燃这个希望，进而藉由奋斗来完成愿望与梦想。这就是我这个梦想形成的原因。

Dream of hope, there is hope, will to strive, to desire, and then complete the dream. Therefore, I have this dream, then, I want to ignite the hope, and strive to complete the wishes and dreams. This is my dreams are made of.

要我完成这个梦想，我得先用功读书，才能赚更多一点钱，再找个地方、房子住下来，完成梦想。梦想如一座灯塔，指引着在茫茫人生大海航行的生命之舟，鼓舞你在行程中和波涛对抗、勇往直前，才不会在大学毕业了，却又不知何去何从。活着不能没有抱负，不然就会感到空虚;人要勇敢地去生活，不要逃避那些不愉快的、可怕的东西。不愉快和可怕都是因为不理解，当你理解以后，你就变得不再畏惧、不再恐慌。

I want to finish this dream, I must study hard, to make a little more money, and then find a place to live, the house, to complete the dream. Dream like a lighthouse guides in the vast sea of life, sailing the boat of life, inspire you, and in the march forward courageously against stroke, never graduated from University, but I do not know decide on what path to follow. I cant live without ambition, or you will feel empty; people want to live, dont avoid the unpleasant, terrible things. Unpleasant and frightening is because they do not understand, when you understand, you will no longer fear, not to panic.

我有一个梦，一个美好的梦，一个与世无争又悠闲的梦。

I have a dream, a dream, a dream of stand aloof from worldly success and laid back.

Everyone has a dream, everyone dreams of each has its own characteristics.

每个人都有一个梦想，每个人的梦想都各有特色。

我的梦想是当一名歌唱家。宇航员王亚平的梦想是当上宇航员，在天空中翱翔，经过一番的考验，就在2013年6月1住1日5时38分，王亚平实现了自己的梦想。梦想就是一切前进的动力，如果没有了动力，那你将永远的踏步走在原地，动力会让你不断的燃烧内心的小宇宙，激发你对美好生活向往生生不息的渴望。梦想，会让你不惧风雨l，无畏风险，不断前进。

舞蹈家廖智在一次地震中失去双腿，也失去了女儿，住了4个月的医院，总算可以出院了，但她必须带假肢，本以为不会再痛苦了，但她万万没有想到带假肢是有多么痛苦。回到了家，想上Wc，便叫爸爸，妈妈，叫了很长很长时间都没有人理她。她才想起爸爸妈妈可能不在家，于是，她忍着痛苦带着假肢走向了厕所。刚走进厕所便一头载进了马桶，头发也湿了，看着镜子前狼狈的自己，她便下定决心苦练，还没有学会走路就学会跳舞，为了梦想苦苦练习了六，七年。

这让我想起了在暑假里洗碗，没坚持几天就放弃了。有梦就要坚持，梦想的实现并非一朝一夕，追来梦想的道路上需要付出努力和汗水，甚至泪水。在抛弃，不放弃。梦想，是多么美好的词汇，梦想，只有不断的努力，不断地坚持，才能拥有王亚平的勇敢，廖智的坚持。

敬爱的老师，亲爱的同学！大家好！今天，我要演讲的题目是放飞梦想，奋斗不息。

也许大家在心中都有一个梦，或大，或小。或很难实现，或实现起来很简单。或在别人看来轻而易举，或在别人看来异想天开……不管如何，有梦总是好的，没有梦想就如同一塘死水，毫无生机与活力。可是既然有了梦想，就不要再犹豫，坚持下来，把它当做目标，去努力，去奋斗，去追求成功。

人的一生或短……或长……或光彩，换暗淡。但是，我们的生命总会随着每天的日出日落，昼夜交替而流逝。我们的时间也在在不断做着减法，而永远永远也不回头。对于尝尝众生而言，人生往往会显得平凡。当我们登高俯瞰，常常会感到“会当绝凌顶一览众山小”，有说不出的自豪，又会感叹生命的渺小与脆弱。当我们徘徊在闹市，面对熙熙冉冉的人群，川流不息的车辆，常常会感叹生命的琐碎与平庸……可这样抱怨又有何用，与其如此，还不如抓住梦的尾巴，一路向前，一路不息，一路奋斗。不要让一步之遥的成功丢失，不要让要实现的梦想破碎。

只要心中有梦，就不要拍遥远。只要心中有力，就不怕一时的伤痛。只要心中有念，灵魂就会永世长存。

同学们，开始奋斗吧，拼搏吧，为梦想打出一条路吧！

我的演讲完毕，谢谢大家倾听！

When the teacher needs to have abundant knowledge and enough patience, you also need to have a selfless love. Our teacher in charge teacher Chen has these. Whenever the students learning state is abnormal, she will talk with us in time. And during the summer and winter vacation or at ordinary times many times to come to visit, understand the students family situation, to communicate with their parents. To help students through individual learning situation.

Our teacher has enough knowledge. Every time we put forward a variety of problems, they can be easily answered. When we were puzzled, they very patient according to their own teaching experience, from our point of view, speaks bother to pass through.

My dream is to become a good teacher. To be a teacher because I think is happy. When you see my students leave school, on each post show of his own life; When saw them set up their own career success: when they have a harmonious family; When she saw her students in their respective field, pieces gain honor... It feels like to see their own orchard, fruit trees blossom, "plum full world" this is when the teacher happiness. This is the reason I determined to want to be a teacher.

In order to complete the dream, I want to be in a good learning at the same time, a lot of reading various books, increase his knowledge. And I want to participate all kinds of public welfare activities, and cultivate their patience and love. In order to this dream, I decided to start from now.

当老师需要具有丰富的学识和足够的耐心，还需要有无私的爱心。我们的班主任陈老师就拥有这些。每当同学们的学习状态出现异常，她会及时和我们谈心。并且在暑假和寒假期间或平时多次上门拜访，了解学生家庭情况，与家长沟通。帮助学生度过一个个学习难关。

我们的任课老师都具备足够的学识。每当我们提出各种各样的难题时，她们都能轻而易举的回答出来。当我们还是迷惑不解时，她们十分耐心的根据自己的教学经验，从我们的角度考虑，不厌其烦的讲通讲透为止。

我的梦想是当一名优秀的老师。因为我觉得当一名老师是幸福的。当看到自己的学生离开学校，在各个岗位上展现自己的人生;当看见他们成功的建立起自己的事业：当看见他们拥有和睦的家庭;当看见自己的学生在各自的赛场，获得一项项荣誉……这种感觉就像看见自家的果园里，一颗颗的果树开花结果，“桃李满天下”这就是当老师的幸福。这也是我立志想当老师的原因。

为了完成梦想，我要在好好学习的同时，大量的阅读各类书籍，增加自己的知识面。另外我要多多参加各类公益活动，培养自己的耐心和爱心。为了这个梦想，我决定从现在开始。

Perfect Dream Harry Potter

Do you know Harry Potter? If you dont, then you are out of date. Many people love Harry Potter, whether children or adults. I love Harry Potter, too. Last week, I went to Nantong to see the movie "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire".

It was a wonderful movie. In the movie, Harry is the same age as us and he is more handsome than me. Harrys best friends are Hermione and Ron. The movie tells the story of Harrys Fourth Year at Hogwarts. The Goblet of Five selects him to compete as one of four champions in the Throwizard Tournament, despite the fact that he didnt submit his name. The Tournament is very dangerous so his friends are all worried about him. Hermione and Ron try their best to help Harry to prepare for each task. I think their friendship is unbreakable. Cho Chang, who Harry likes, is a Chinese pretty girl. I liked her but I liked Hermione better because she is very clever.

Its very magical! I love magic as much as Harry does. If I lived in a magic world, I could pick up gigantic things easily, I could go to wherever I liked and I could fly on a broom, I could change my hairstyle of any time, I could.

Its a perfect world and its a perfect dream.

Youth Day (青年节) in the Peoples Republic of China is on May 4. It was established in December 1949 by the Government Administration Council to commemorate the beginning of the May Fourth Movement in 1919. This day is known as …

May Fourth Movement

Chinese intellectual revolution and sociopolitical reform movement (1917 – 21)。 In 1915 young intellectuals inspired by Chen Duxiu began agitating for the reform and strengthening of Chinese society through acceptance of Western science, democracy, and schools of thought, one objective being to make China strong enough to resist Western imperialism. On May 4, 1919, reformist zeal found focus in a protest by Beijings students against the Versailles Peace Conferences decision to transfer former German concessions in China to Japan. After more than a month of demonstrations, strikes, and boycotts of Japanese goods, the government gave way and refused to sign the peace treaty with Germany. The movement spurred the successful reorganization of the Nationalist Party and gave birth to the Chinese Communist Party. See also Treaty of Versailles.
