当瓦特制造了第一台蒸汽机，当牛顿在被一颗苹果砸中后发现了万有引力（universal gravitation），当马克思写出了《共 产 党宣言》，当毛泽东在天安门城楼上庄严宣布中华人民共和国成立，当马丁·路德·金用热血呼喊出“I have a dream”时，这个世界就改变了。被一个叫做梦想的，看不见，摸不到，却拥有无穷力量的东西，改变了。

我敢肯定，每一个孩子都写过题为《我的梦想》的作文，年幼的她们在懵懂的时候就写下了对未来的憧憬，有的是科学家，有的是教师，有的是医生。也许当时的她们并不懂在实现梦想之前有多少艰辛和困苦，但这犹如一颗小小的种子，种在了孩子们的心中，也犹如一座灯塔，在迷茫的大海中指引他们前行。

梦想，是力量的源泉，是信念的支撑，也是引导的北极星，无时无刻不提醒我们：前进、努力、奋斗。我的一个朋友告诉我：梦想不会抛弃任何人！没错，也许有一天，什么都离你而去，但是唯独梦想，会坚守在你身边，永远??

梦想改变了我们，我们又因梦想改变了世界，是梦想让世界每天都新鲜，也是梦想让社会不断进步。我们敢梦想，更能实现梦想，改变世界。

我可不能想像没有梦想的世界，你呢？

The world changed when James Watt invented the first steam engine, when Isaac Newton discovered the universal gravitation after hit by an apple, when Karl Marx wrote The Communist Manifesto, when Chairman Mao solemnly declared the establishment of the People's Republic of China on the Tian'anmen Rostrum, when Martin Luther King cried out “I have a dream”. The world was changed by something called dream, which is invisible, untouchable but strong enough.

I can assure that every child have written a composition titled My Dream. They have already written down their longing for the future. Some of them want to become scientists; some of them hope to become teachers or doctors. Maybe they didn’t know how many difficulties they will face before their dream come true. But the dreams are like small seeds planted in their hearts; like the beacon in the sea that lead them to their destinations.

Dream is the fountain of strength. Dream is the support of faith. Dream is the Polaris. Dream reminds us to move forward, to struggle, to strive all the time. One of my friends told me that dream will never discard anyone! Yes, maybe one day everything is gone but dreams is still there with you, eternally.

Dream changed us, and therefore we changed the world. It is dream that refreshes the world every day. It is also dream that makes the world improve day by day. We dare to dream. We can also achieve our dreams and change the world.

I can’t imagine the world without dreams. How about you?

第二篇：英语演讲稿Follow Your Dream(追寻梦想)

Follow Your Dream 追随梦想

There was a young man born in a poor family.

As a result, his school career was continually interrupted.

Once he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.

That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch.

He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch.

Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house

that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.

He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher.

Two days later he received his paper back.

On the front page was a large red F with a note that read,

“See me after class.”

The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked,

“Why did I receive an F?”

The teacher said, “This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you.

You have no money. You have no resources from your family.

There’s no way you could ever do it. ”

Then the teacher added, “If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.”

The boy went home and thought about it long and hard.

He asked his father what he should do.

His father said, “Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this.

However, I think it is a very important decision for you.”

Finally, after sitting with it for a week,

the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all.

He stated, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.”

Recollecting the story,

my friend Monty and I are now sitting in his 4,000-square-foot house

in the middle of a 200-acre horse ranch.

Two summers ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on his ranch. When the teacher was leaving, he said, “Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer.

During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams.

Fortunately you had enough gumption not to give up on yours."

Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what
