DescriptionLearning English requires not only mastering grammar and vocabulary, but more importantly, being able to use it naturally in real-life situations. However, textbook sentences are often too formal and differ greatly from actual spoken language. To speak authentic, natural English, one needs exposure to real conversational contexts. Here, we have selected frequently used daily English expressions, covering social, work, and travel scenarios, helping you move beyond 'textbook English' and learn phrases actually used by native speakers. Below is the content of this episode 'Episode 6, Part 63: I Have a Dream'. Consistent practice will bring your English closer to real life!
I'm not not mindful that some of you have come here out of that trial and discrimination. Some of you have come fresh from now. Some of you have come from areas where your press request for freedom. Let's you battle by the storms of persecution and stagger by the winds of police brutality. You have been the creative suffering. Can you do work with a face that on earth is redemptive.Go back to Mississippi. Go back to Alabama. Go back to South Carolina. Go back to Georgia. Go back to Louisiana. Go back to the slums and get those on all the cities. Knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not want to end the valley of the South. I say to you today my friend. So even though we face the consequences of the war. I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dreams.
I have a dream. This nation will rise up. Live up the true meaning of its cream. We hold these truths to be self-evident. That all may not create it. The one day on the red news. The palm of the plays and the thumbs of the palm of the table. Will they be able to sit down together at the table of problems.
I have a dream. The one day. Even the state of Mississippi. A state. Well-thuring with the heat of injustice. Well-thuring with the heat of oppression. Will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream. I have a dream. I have a dream. That one day. When they rise up. I have a dream. I have a dream. I have a dream. I have a dream. The one day. Every hill in the mountains. We will be made lower up places. We will be able to transform the tangling discourse of our nation into a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful country.
When we are out, we pray. When we don't dream, we are all the stuff children, not me, them fighting. Jews and tensile, sons and Catholics. We will be able to join in and sing in the words of the only hope. So, create life, create life. Thanks all of us.
