was still regarded as the “reality”. Now if that was really the reality, what did the Wright brothers do How did some of you get to Macao Only when we believe that the reality
is not real can we soar with our say that our future is a battle between the reality and our dreams. And if, unfortunately, Mr. Reality wins this war, then I see no future of mankind at all. AIDS will never be curable as this is the reality; people living in the undeveloped countries will suffer form starvation forever as this is the reality; disputes among different countries would never be settled as this misunderstandings and intolerance is the reality. Ladies and gentlemen, how many of you
have a dream of being able to make a lot of money Please raise your hands. Oh, quite a number of you! Actually, ladies and gentlemen, this is not a dream, but a task. Every one of us
has to make a living, right Anyway I hope your task will be accomplishes. How many of you think that you have already fulfilled your dream and that you don’t dream anymore Dear adjudicators, what do you think
Lewis once said, “You are never too old to dream a new dream.” So for our future, please and be uealistic. Now that I am a university student my goal is to graduate with excellences. But at the same time, I have a dream deeply rooted in our future. One day, people living in the areas now sweltering with the horror of wars will be able to sit with their families and enjoy their every moment. One day, people from the rich countries are willing to share what they have with those from the poor countries. And those from the poor countries will eventually be able to make their own happy living themselves. One day, different cultures in this age of coexist
with
tolerance
and
the
unfriendly
confrontations
among them will be eliminated. One day, the globe will share the dream with me. And we will all contribute to making our dream come true. One day, our dream will defeat the reality! Thank you very much. 篇五：21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛历届讲稿 From Walls to Bridges

I'm studying in a city famous for its walls. All visitors to my city are amazed by the imposing sight of the city walls, silhouetted by the setting sun with gold and shining lines. With old, cracked bricks patched with lichen, the walls are weather-beaten guards, standing still for centuries in protecting the city.
Our ancestors liked to build walls. They built walls in Beijing, Xi'an, Nanjing and many other cities, and they built the Great Wall, which snakes through half of our country. They built walls to ward off enemies and evil spirits. This tradition has been maintained to this day as we still have many parks and schools walled off from the public. I grew up at the foot of
the city walls, and I've loved them since my childhood. For a long time, walls were one of the most natural things in the world.
My perception, however, changed after a hiking trip to the Eastern Suburbs, a scenic
area of my city. My classmates and I were walking with some international students. As we walked out of the city, we found ourselves flanked by taller and taller trees, which formed a huge canopy above our heads. Suddenly an international student asked me, \the entrance to the Eastern Suburbs\
\already in the Eastern Suburbs,\I replied. He seemed taken aback, \have walls for everything.\His remark set off a heated debate. At one point, he likened our walled cities to \while I insisted that the Eastern Suburbs were one of the many places in China that had no walls. That debate had no winners, but I did learn a lot from this international student. For instance, he told me that universities like Oxford and Cambridge were not surrounded by walls; the campuses were just part of the cities. I have to admit that we do have many walls in
China, and as we are developing our country, we must carefully examine them, whether they are physical or intangible. We will keep some walls but tear down those that impede China's development. Let me give you an example.
A year ago, when I was working on a term paper, I needed a book on business law and found a copy in the law school library. However, the librarian turned down my request with a cold shoulder, saying, \borrow this book, you are not a student here.\end, I had to spend 200 yuan buying a copy; meanwhile, the copy in law school was gathering dust on the shelf. At the beginning of this semester, I heard that my university has started not only to unify its libraries but also link them up with libraries of other universities, so my experience will not be repeated. Barriers will be replaced by bridges. Through an inter-library loan system, we will have access to books from any library. With globalization, with China integrated into the world, I believe many of these intangible walls will be knocked down.
I know globalization is a controversial issue,
