Dear Henry，

I like Billy Crystal the most, who is a well-known American stand-up comedian. He first started doing stand-up comedy in New York and then in California in the 1970s.
The audience all over the world were impressed by the Oscar Academy Awards he hosted, one reason for which is that he is very quick-thinking, and is often able to immediately make up new jokes about the people and things around him. That's also the main reason that I like him so much. When he was the host of the 2004 Oscar Academy Awards, a technical problem put a very old actor giving a speech on stage on the spot. Instead of telling the joke he had planned, he said,“It seems appropriate that he started in silent films!” The audience roared with laughter.
I think Crystal brings much joy to me. Who is your favorite comedian？

I have a dream （Excerpt）
I say to you today， my friends. And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow， I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal.”
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi， a state sweltering① with the heat of injustice， sweltering with the heat of oppression， will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of “interposition②” and “nullification③”—one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted④， every hill and mountain shall be made low， the rough places will be made plain， and the crooked places will be made straight， and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together.
我有一个梦想（节选）
朋友们，今天我对你们说，此时此刻，我们虽然遭受种种困难和挫折，但我仍然有一个梦想。这个梦想深深扎根于美国梦中。
我梦想有一天，这个国家会站立起来，真正实现其信条的真谛：“我们认为这些真理是不言而喻的——人人生而平等。”
我梦想有一天，在佐治亚的红山上，昔日奴隶的儿子将能够和昔日奴隶主的儿子坐在一起，共叙兄弟情谊。
我梦想有一天，甚至连密西西比州这个正义匿迹、压迫成风的荒漠之州，也将变成自由和正义的绿洲。
我梦想有一天，我的四个小孩将生活在一个不是以他们的肤色，而是以他们的品格优劣来评价他们的国度里。
我今天有一个梦想！
我梦想有一天，这个有着残酷的种族主义者的亚拉巴马州能够有所转变。虽然该州州长现在仍然满口异议，拒绝执行联邦法令，但有朝一日，那里的黑人小男孩和小女孩将能够与白人小男孩和小女孩情同骨肉，携手并进。
我今天有一个梦想！
我梦想有一天，幽谷上升，高山下降，坎坷曲折之路成坦途，圣光披露，满照人间。

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering① with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of “interposition②” and “nullification③”—one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted④, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together.
