　　3. My suggestion

　　Education plays a very important role in the modernization of our country. Without a well-educated population， China will not be able to achieve its planned economic growth， catch up with the developed nations technologically or improve the living standards of its people. Yet， according to recent statistics， there are over two million children in China who have dropped out of school because their parents are too poor to pay the fees. [现象现状说明段]

　　At the moment， the government has too many things to do as it builds up the economy， and cannot afford the money needed to get those children back to school. And so a nationwide drive is necessary to raise funds to rescue them from illiteracy and ignorance. That drive is called the "Project Hope". The project is a timely response to the problem， and many children living in the poverty-stricken parts of China now have a bright future because of the generosity of the people who have donated money to it. [原因列举段]

　　Nevertheless， the "Project Hope" is only a temporary measure， and not a permanent solution. What is needed is a properly funded education system so that all children can be guaranteed an education， which will equip them to their roles to the full in the modernization of their country.[建议措施段]
