if someone asks me,where is your native place?fujian,illanswer him proudly. yes, ive been loving her since i was a child.
she used to be backward economically. but now she has developed quite a lot. as the open policy is carried out, great changes have taken place in my native place. new buildings are springing up everywhere. and peoples living standards have been greatly raised in the past few years with the development of agriculture and industry.whats more, you can often see in the streets people coming from different parts of the world for commerce and trade or for the exchange of information on science and technology. whats to be done if you want to get in touch with them but know no foreign languages? it is clear that the open policy needs more people who have a good command of foreign languages and its equally clear that english, the most widely used language, has become more useful than ever.
im a student of graduating class of the fuzhou no.8 middle school. ill take up english as my major if i can study in a university. many friends of my parents advise me to choose an institute of foreign trade. the reason is simple enough: after graduation form such an institute, ill get a well-paid job which will give me chance to work abroad. nevertheless, ive made up my mind to choose the english department of fujian teachers university.teachers are said to be engineers of human souls. people often compare children to flowers, and teachers are gardeners growing these flowers. i realize from my own experiences that i couldnt have made any progress without the help of my teachers. im grateful to my teachers, whose spirit of complete devotion to the realization of the four modernizations i should always learn.
i want to be a teacher of english. ill do my best to be a qualified teacher and help to train more buiders of our socialism motherland. im sure that with more people knowing foreign languages the open policy will be carried out successfully, and that my native place fujian will become more prosperous.
