　　Since China opened its door to the outside world in 1979, Beijing has made remarkable results in attracting foreign business to invest in joint ventures. According to the pie chart, the investors in different enterprises come from 26 countries and regions. The investment of Hong Kong ranks first, accounting for 44 per cent of the total. Japan’s investment makes up 19.2 per cent, putting it in second spot. Third is the United States at 16 per cent.

　　It is generally believed that Beijing benefits a lot from the outside investment. In the first place, a large number of joint ventures have been set up, which contributes greatly to the development of Capital Economy. Secondly, the foreign-invested enterprises offer a lot of jobs to the residents in Beijing. This in turn relieves the problem of laid-off workers in the city. Finally, the high-tech enterprises in the capital will grow rapidly as Beijing enjoys the same preferential policies as coastal cities open to the outside world.

　　On As far as the measures to attract outside investment are concerned, they are as follows. the one hand, we should make special efforts to improve the investment environment so that an increasing amount of foreign capital can stream into Beijing. On the other hand, we should take advantage of this opportunity to run the present foreign-invested enterprises as efficiently as possible. I am convinced that with the reform and opening up policy being implemented, Beijing will be a great attraction for foreign investment. (247 words)

　　AAAA自从1979年中国对外开放以来，北京在吸引外企投资合资企业方面已取得了显著成绩。根据图示，不同企业的投资者来自26个国家和地区。香港的投资额居第一位，占总额的44%。日本占19.2%, 居第二位。美国为第三，占16%。

　　普遍认为，北京从外部投资中受益匪浅。首先，大量合资企业已经建立，这就大大促进了"首都经济"的发展。

　　其次，外资企业为北京市民提供了许多就业机会。这又缓解了北京的下岗工人问题。最后，由于北京和沿海开放城市一样享有许多优惠政策，所以高科技产业在首都发展迅猛。

　　至于吸引外资的措施，有如下几点。一方面，我们应该专门努力来改善投资环境, 以便越来越多的外资能流入北京。另一方面，我们应该抓住机遇把目前的外资企业尽可能办好。我深信，随着改革开放政策的贯彻执行，北京将吸引大量外资。
