Great changes have taken place in the countryside in our country.
As a child, I lived in a poor family. The second hand clothes, rain-leaking roof of old house became part of my memory.      , the worst impression is that I       (feel) hungry all the time. Sometimes hunger hit me so severely     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 the 1980s, as the reform and opening-up policy    (carry) out, our dream came true. And then,      dream became clearer and clearer in my mind. I must try my best to escape out of my poor and backward hometown. I worked      (hard) at my study than most of my classmates, and , after luckily      (succeed) in the national college entrance examination, I realized my dream again: after graduation, I became a citizen working in a city.     the first college graduate out of a remote village, my success set       example for my folks. They came to realize that schooling is a good way to change one’s fate. In the following years, there were fewer drop-outs and more college graduates in my village,     I am proud of even today.
