My American dream
Good morning learned classmates and esteemed teacher. I am Everly Shen. My speech
today is about my dream for American.
“The American dream does not come to those who fall asleep.”It is my favorite quote from
Gerald R. Ford, the 38th president of the united States. Most people have the chance to pursue a
better life. However, it is difficult to accomplish the dream, especially for people who do not put
in enough effort. As a student, I also have 2 dreams.
First of all, I want to get a 100 on my TOFEL test and full mark on my AP course. These
standards are the basic requirement for me to get into a top 50 university in USA. It Is quite hard
to meet such a high standard. As a result, I need to spend more time, money, and effort. They are
vital for my future life, so the dream to get good scores on these tests are important to me.
Another dream is that I want to be optimistic in daily life. Nowadays, I have a lot of pressure
in life. As i just mentioned, I care too much about TOFEL and GPA. Because of those tests, I always
feel stressed and tired. These pressure have lots of negative impacts on my life. It’s too heavy for
me. So I hope when I go to American to start a new life, I can have a positive mindset.
Overall, get good grades and stay in positive are my American dream. I will work hard
towards them. I hope I can be one of the people who realize their dream.
