Fujian＇s Opening Up and I
If someone asks me,“where is your native place?”“Fujian,”I＇llanswer him proudly. Yes, I＇ve 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 people＇s living standards have been greatly raised in the past few years with the development of agriculture and industry.
What＇s 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. What＇s 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 of① foreign languages and it＇s equally clear that English, the most widely used language, has become more useful than ever.
I＇m a student of graduating class of the Fuzhou NO.8 Middle School. I＇ll 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, I＇ll get a well-paid job which will give me chance to work abroad. Nevertheless②, I＇ve 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 couldn＇t have made any progress without the help of my teachers. I＇m grateful to my teachers, whose spirit of complete devotion③to the realization of the four modernizations I should always learn.
I want to be a teacher of English. I＇ll do my best to be a qualified teacher and help to train more buiders of our socialism motherland. I＇m 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 prosperous④

1）本文对两方面的情况作了对比：一是福建今昔的对比；二是两种职业的对比。第二段和第三段的前半部分是第一种情况的比较，第三段后半部分和第四段是第二种情况的比较。所以，第三段是过渡段，即由第一种情况向第二种情况的过渡；这种过渡显得很自然。
