Living in the metropolis of Beijing, I have been to Europe, the United States, and Japan. In the past decade, my home country China has enjoyed rapid economic growth, and some of her cities and regions have attained astonishing HDI. However, one of the side products, the air quality issue, turns out to be very detrimental. Once in a while, my hometown would be shrouded by a thick veil of haze, and many would complain about respiratory symptoms. Even my high school would close for a whole day occasionally. Thus, I hope to change my hometown by bringing back the azure sky it rightfully owns.

There are many reasons behind the haze. For Beijing, the 8.5 million vehicles contribute significantly to the problem. The municipal government has adopted various policies, from license plate lottery to road space rationing to the promotion of electric vehicles, to mitigate the cause. I personally respond to this crisis by taking advantage of public transportations like subway and bicycle-sharing systems as much as I can.

In the long run, I aspire to do more and make a difference. I have been working on a body balance ability monitor for two years. I believe that novel bioengineering gadgets like this will help individuals solve many health problems, and this may be another valid way to eradicate the damages done by the haze.

留学文书译文（AI翻译）：

生活在北京这样的大都市，我曾游历过欧美和日本。过去十年间，我的祖国经济飞速发展，部分城市和地区的人类发展指数已达到惊人水平。但随之而来的空气质量问题却成为棘手的副产品——我的家乡时常被厚重雾霾笼罩，许多人出现呼吸道症状，连我的高中都曾因此停课整日。我渴望为家乡唤回那片本应属于它的蔚蓝天空。

雾霾成因复杂。对北京而言，八百五十万辆机动车无疑是重要污染源。市政府实施了摇号限购、单双号限行、推广电动车等多项政策进行治理。而我个人则坚持乘坐地铁、使用共享单车等绿色出行方式响应环保号召。

从长远来看，我志在做出更大贡献。过去两年我持续研发人体平衡能力监测仪，相信此类生物工程创新装置能帮助人们解决诸多健康问题，这或许将成为消除雾霾危害的另一有效途径。
