某英文报社正在举办题为"My Chinese Dream"的征文活动。请你就此题目写一篇英文短文应征，内容包括：1.你的中国梦是什么；2.你打算如何实现你的中国梦。

Working in GermanyJuan Morales is 19 years old． He has left his parents who live on a small farm in Spain. He now works in a car plant in Germany. Every 30 seconds, a car rolls past Juan on a production line. Juan must dive into the open trunk of the car and tighten（拧紧）two bolts （螺栓）. Two times a minute, Juan must tighten these same two bolts on every car that comes by on the line.Juan has done this job on every working day for six months. When he goes back to his rented room at the end of each day, he is very tired. Sometimes he will go out for supper with other Spanish workers. But supper in a restaurant costs money, and Juan is trying to save money. Often he just cooks supper in his home and eats alone．Juan is there because there is plenty of work in Germany--more work than there are workers to fill the jobs. Because of this, few German workers have to take a job like Juan's. But people from some other countries are eager to do the work because wages are high in Germany.Juan does not spend all his money. Every payday, he goes to the post officeand puts half his pay in the savings bank. Then he sends about a quarter of the money back home. The rest is enough to live on if he is careful. In two and a half more years, Juan will have saved enough money to open a store near his parents' village. Then he will have enough money to get married and set up a home．Juan's parents live on a large farm in Spain.（）
