My name is Harry Lin. On May 25, 1958, I was born in Xinying, a little town in Southern Fujian. My father is a farmer, planting bananas and pineapples, and my mother takes care of the house. I have two brothers and one sister. Though not well-to-do, my parents have been able to provide the whole family with sufficient means to live decently and enjoy all modern conveniences.
翻译：我的名字叫林哈瑞。1958年5月25日，我出生在福建南部一个小城镇新颖。我的父亲是一个农民，种植香蕉和菠萝，我的母亲负责照顾家庭。我有两个兄弟和一个姐妹。尽管不太富裕，我的父母已经能够提供足够的手段使全家体面地生活，享受所有的现代设施。
My early education was received in my hometown, i.e. six years in primary school and three years in junior middle school. After completing nine years of formal education in 1973. I went to Xiamen and participated in the joint entrance examination for five-year junior colleges. Fortunately, I was admitted to the Department of Electrical Engineering at Xiamen Junior Engineering College. I chose Electrical Engineering as my major because, on the one hand , I liked Physics very much; and on the other hand, electrical industry is a major sector of the economy of China.
翻译：我的早期教育是在我的家乡获得的，即，六年小学和三年中学。1973年完成九年正规教育之后，我去了厦门，参加了五年大专的入学考试。很幸运，我被厦门初级工程学院电子工程系录用了。我选择了电子工程作为我的专业，因为，一方面，我非常喜欢物理；另一方面，电子工业是中国经济的一个重要因素。
The five years of intensive training came to an end in June 1978 when I received a diploma. And in July 1980. I was hired by Nan Ya plastic Company and have served as a junior electrical engineer at the company to the present. I enjoy the work and feel competent for the job.
翻译：五年的强化培训在1978年六月结束，我获得了一张文凭。1980年7月，我被南亚塑胶公司雇佣并且作为一名初级电气工程师至今。我享受这份工作并能胜任这项工作
In working, however, I’ve Found that what I have learned in school is limited and far from sufficient to handle sophisticated jobs. Therefore, I have decided to extend my education and would like to enter an American institution firstly to earn a Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering. Then, if possible, I would like to continue my education toward a Masters degree.
翻译：然而，在工作中，我发现我在学校学到的是有限的，远远不足以应付复杂的工作。因此，我已决定延长我的教育，并想进入美国机构首先获得一个电子工程学士学位。 然后，如果有可能，我想朝着硕士学位继续我的教育。
After this objective is reached, I will return to my country and seek a job in a public firm. Most probably I will continue to work with Nan Ya Plastic Company.
这个目标达成之后，我将回到我的祖国，在大众公司找一份工作。最有可能，我会继续与南亚塑胶公司合作
