When I was a child in 1970s, my family was very poor, just like other average families in the countryside. The second-hand clothes, rain-leaking roof of old house became part of 19 memory. However, the worst 20 (impress) is that I was feeling hungry all the time. Sometimes hunger bit me so severely 21 I regarded dried sweet potato slices as delicious snack. At that time, my dream was getting enough to fill my empty stomach.
In the early years of 1980s, as the reform and opening-up policy 22 (carry) out, the children’s dream came true. And then, 23 dream became clearer and clearer in my mind. I must try my best to escape out of my poor and backward hometown. I worked 24 (hard) at my study than most of my classmates, and, after luckily 25 (succeed) in the national college entrance examination, I realized my dream again: after graduation, I became a citizen working in a city. 26 the first college graduate out of a remote village, my success set 27 example for my folks. They came to realize that schooling is a good way to change one’s fate (命运). In the following years, there were fewer drop-outs and more college graduates in my village, of 28 I am proud even today.
