 　　A dream is to a man what wings are to a bird. With a dream in the deep heart's core, a man is spontaneously driven to hitch1 his wagon2 to a star. A dream is an inexhaustible source of energy that keeps our enthusiasm burning, and kindles3 our desire to enhance our spiritual cultivation4, refine our character, and upgrade our quality of life. A life without a dream is like a bird with broken wings, confined to a cage and oblivious5 of what lies beyond the range of its vision. On the contrary, a man with a dream is like a warrior6 armed with ambition, foresight7 and gallantry, daring to step into an unknown domain8 to make a journey of adventure. It is dream that adds fullness, variety, and spice to our life and makes it worth living.

　　I have a dream. It is d dream that is deeply rooted in human nature. I dream that one day people of all origins can live in harmony and peace without being discriminated9 against or persecuted10. The bounty11 of the earth can be shared by every single human being. Mutual12 respect will guarantee the existence and continuation of the diversity of customs and cultures. Love, sympathy, and cooperation will alleviate13 the sufferings and disasters inflicted14 upon our fellow men. Respect for basic human rights will put an end to social injustices15 and evils. When my dream comes true, all men will be truly equal, happy, and free.
