篇一：
Never Lose the Vision of Reality
Talking about dreams and future, I would say, dreams should not be too far from reality. Detaching from reality, lacking solid and practical actions, any future plan, and dream project will be nothing short of daydreaming, or, at most, well-intentioned thinking.
Here I am reminded of the year 2000, when 191 member states of the United Nations held a World Summit Conference, which made a declaration known as the Millennium [mi'leni?m] 千年期 Development Goals. The goals for 2015, which all the member states pledged[pled?] 保证，许诺to meet, were such as elimination除去 of hunger and poverty, drastic reductions in child mortality [m?:'t?l?ti]死亡率rates, reversing the spread of AIDS and other deadly diseases et cetera [it'setr?]等等。
Now, 6 years later, almost half way to the final year of 2015, do we see some signs of realizing the pledged goals? Today, half the world---nearly three billion people, still live on less than two U.S. dollars a day; in the world today 270 million children have no access to safe water, about 11 million children die before they reach the age of five each year. Have we come to harness 治理the spread of AIDS? The
answer is also no, and indeed is spreading faster and wider than ever before.
What is even worse, in the wake of the Iraqi[i'ra:ki]伊拉克的 War, there is the nuclear crisis in Iran[i'rɑ:n], and unsettled situation in many places. The vision of us young people may be limited, but the limited vision we do have and care about everyday cannot change our conviction[k?n'vik??n]定罪 that our world does not seem to promise a very bright future before us.
Who is to blame for all this? Of course we can blame the governments: how disappointing they all seem to be: in one moment they are pledging to build a better future for people, and in another moment, they ignite[iɡ'nait]点燃 wars killing more innocent people. But don’t you think that we ordinary folks should also take some responsibilities for, say, elimination[i,limi'nei??n] of poverty? When we quickly rush to schools, work places, or places of entertainment, how many times do we stop to hand over some food to the
deprived[di'praivd] 缺少食物的；缺乏足够教育的 on the streets? When we are browsing the newspaper for the news about what is going in this world, how often do we stop to think about the actual ways we can help the people who are suffering from
various['vε?ri?s] disastrous[di'zɑ:str?s] situations? In fact how much have we done to help those who are in need just around us?
Dreams are certainly beautiful and indispensable to our life, for they give us inspiration [,insp?'rei??n] and motivation. Plans for the future are certainly necessary, for they provide us with goals and guides. But what is most important is actions on a day-to-day basis. To make our dreams come true, to realize our future goals, we need to base our vision on reality and we need to put our words into our deeds. In other words, while human beings should be, first and foremost, idealists[ai'di?list] 理想主义者and thinkers, we should, all the more be realists['ri?list] and practical doers实行家.
篇二：
Never lose the vision of reality
Good afternoon
Ladies and gentlemen, today my topic is never losing the vision of reality. Talking about dreams and future, I would say, dreams should not be too far away from reality. Detaching from reality, looking solid or practical actions, any dream plan or dream project will be nothing short of daydreaming, or, at most well-intentioned thinking. Here I am remained the year of 2000, when 191 member states of the United Nations held a world summit conference, which made a declaration known as the millennium development goals. The goals of 2015, which every member state pledged to meet, were such as, elimination of hunger and poverty, drastic reduction in child mortality rates, reversing a spread of AIDS and other deadly disease, ect. Now, six years later, almost half way to the final year of 2015, do we see any signs of realizing these goals? Today, half the world-about three billion people, still live under two U.S dollars a day; and about 279 million children have no access to safe water, 11 million children die before they reach the year of five each year. Do we come to harness the spread of the AIDS? The answer is also “no” and indeed AIDS is spreading faster and wider than ever before. What is even worse, with the weak of the Iraqi War, the nuclear crisis in Iran and unsettled situations
in many places, the vision of us young people today are often limited but the limited vision that we do have and care about every day cannot change the conviction that this world does not seem to promise a vary bright future before us. Who is blame for this? Of course, we can blame the government: how they disappoint all seem to be: in the moment they are pledging to build a better future for us, and the other moment they are igniting wars killing more innocent people. But don’t you think we ordinary folks should also take some responsibility for, say elimination of hunger and poverty? When we are quickly rushing to schools, works, or place of entertainment, how many times do we stop just to hand over some food to the deprived on the streets? When we are reading newspapers browsing for news about what is going on in this world, how often do we stop to think about actual ways that we can do to help the people who are suffering from various disastrous situations? In fact, how much have we done to help the people who are in need just around us. Dreams are certainly beautiful and indispensable in our life, for they give us inspiration and motivation. Future plans are certainly necessary, for they provide us with goals and guides. But what is most beautiful and important is an action on a day-to-day base in order to realize our dreams or make our future goals realized, we need to put our worlds into deeds and
base our vision on reality. In other words, while human beings should be, first and foremost, idealists and thinkers, we should also be, and all the more, realists and practical doers.
