You have very good ideas in your essay. However, I can only correct what I am guessing your intent. I could be wrong. If you want a better correction, please provide your original Chinese.
Although the previous correction is better, the writing is boring. It still contains Chinese flavour. It is ok to have it but having too many of them around is not considered good in English. Sometimes, you need to repeat for emphasis. Sometimes, they become boring if not used for this purpose.
I have a day dream. If you have a dream and if you don't chase after it, then you will never attain it. If you don't chase after the thinking within your heart, you will never find your real self. Neither will you find your real self if you don't follow your heart. If you don't tryNo new things to try and, your life willwill soon become stale and boring. [In English, different patterns are preferrable.]
I have a simple day dream. I shall go and chase after it.

Thanks for your correction.
You can go on polishing forever. However, the greater the polish, the greater the difference is the translation. You must not polish it so much that the original meaning changes. To be able to reach this level, you need to more vocabulary, read more to get into the psyche of the language and write more to get the feeling.
Now the fun and the hard part begins. With the structure in place, you need to add prepositions, conjunctions etc that is deemed unnecessary in Chinese but is a must in proper English. The corrections are done in blue and comments in brown.

As I suspected, I was on the target on the general feeling but wrong on the details. Now that we have literal translation, we can start on the 2nd step in polishing. This is where bilinguals can help you. Even the punctuation and structure are different both in Chinese and English. For example, Chinese don't have tenses but English does. The following is the literal translation according to your original structure. It is okay in Chinese but in English, the punctuation is not acceptable. A full stop is to end a sentence. Chinese may favor phrases but English prefers complete sentences. Sometimes, a phrase here and there is okay for it will make the piece more interesting. Too many of these will make the English essay unnatural. So the first step is to redo the punctuation and change the structure.
I Have a Dream This is okay but captialize all significant words in a title!

Thanks for your correction.
In learning a language, especially if you are an adult, translation is the best way to learn a language. You have enough mature thoughts in your native language but don't have the necessary advance vocabulary or idioms to make it work in the target language.
There are at least 3 steps to accomplish this. First, a literal translation which I am going to show you below. Usually, this would give you a general idea. The 2nd step is to polish it. Here we can help you, for example, the correct order of words or choice of words used to sound better in the target language.
The last step is to further polish the finer points in your writing. For example, in the area of idioms. Depending on the audience you are going to convey, you cannot just translate, "Rome was not built in one day" as 羅馬非一曰之建立 but as 冰凍三尺, 非一日之寒. In this case, there may be English influence on the language and you would understand. Take a more complicated example, "The flesh is willing but the flesh is weak". You definitely cannot translate it as, "氣毅体弱" (breath resolute, body weak) but as 一厢情愿.
