Autobiography-final


Family Background
My name is Yi-Ching Huang. There are four members in my family. My father is a responsible and honest merchant. I learn from him that it is no use blaming others when something bad happens, and that what counts is to correct the errors in a proper way. My mother is a career woman. I think she is a wonderful woman. When my brother and I were little children, she not only took good care of us but also did well in her work. What she did makes me believe that there is nothing I can't do with effort. My elder brother is a student, who majors in Geomatics at National Cheng Kung University. He teaches me lots of things. I think he is not only my brother but also my good teacher and friend. I am lucky to have this lovely family.
School Life
I am studying at Department of Applied Foreign Languages in National Tainan Commercial Vocational Senior High School. I am glad to have so many lovely classmates to learn and experience a great deal of activities together. They are so humorous and kind to me. Because of them, I feel it is interesting to go to school.
Since I was a child, I have had a big crush on English. I found English very interesting and I have been curious about this language – how amazing it is that everything could be expressed by the 26 letters in the alphabet! This is why I chose it as my major. I have always believed in the saying No pain, no gain. Since it is very important for a person who wants to succeed to make efforts, I ask myself to learn everything to the best of my ability. Thus, I always pay attention to what my teachers teach in class, taking notes of key points and study hard after class. As a result, my academic performance has been not bad.
During the three years, I served as the Hygienic section chief for last four semesters. Within the four semesters, I've learned how to distribute jobs properly and fairly and numerous tips and knowledge about cleaning. For example, I used to use the newspaper to clean the windows before I knew that using newspaper to clean window would scratch glasses. I think it is really a good job for me because I've learned a lot from it.
As to my extracurricular activities, I enjoyed playing volleyball with my friends. We always play volleyball games with other students in my school. In these games, I made friends with many people, expanded my social circles, and learned what is called teamwork. I also like to listen to English songs in my leisure time, and try to understand and memorize the lyrics. By doing this, I have improved my English listening ability a lot.
Self-evaluation
I think I am an easy-going girl, simple and somewhat straight-forward. I do not have sharp or trenchant personality and am not the sort of person who is eager to be the best in every aspect. Instead, I am quite approachable, cordial, genial and sincere to friends. As a result, I have many true-hearted friends. Besides, due to my optimistic character, I always look on the bright side whenever I face obstacles. When my friends get into trouble, they always like to share it with me. In my spare time, I enjoy reading novels, watching films, surfing the internet to search news and chatting with friends. Plus, I also enjoy music, especially western pop music.
About my criteria to life, I always believe that I can do everything as I pay efforts. Therefore, I really admire Nick Vujicic. Although he has no arms and legs, he always tries his best to learn everything. It is his story that makes me believe that life is without limitation.
Future Perspective
In my future, I will still choose English as my major in college not only for I have developed a great interest in English but for I want to improve my English ability, especially my oral speaking skill. I hope one day I can talk to a foreigner face to face without feeling nervous, so I'd like to take the courses about training students' oral speaking skill. I believe the excellent faculty and the perfect facilities in your school will help me polish my English ability a lot, so I aspire to be admitted to your school. In addition, I know your school is famous for its commercial subjects. As a result, I believe I can learn not only occupational competence of English but professional business knowledge.
Conclusion
I love English very much and I want to take more advanced courses of English. I know learning English is not easy and English can not be learned well within a short time. However, I believe that if I do my best, my effort will pay off at last.

autobiography-sample two

I am Lin. Sophia is my English name. I am 18 years old, studying in a public girls’ high school. I come from a very happy middle class family. My father works in a bank and my mother works in a bookstore. I am not the so-called spoiled child. My parents make very sure of that by training me to be independent.
Throughout my academic career I have not only gotten good grades but also been very active on sport field and have involved in various societies. I play volleyball and enjoy the team spirit we have. I have joined the drama club and participated in many English speech contests. I really enjoy participating in school activities. I not only made many friends, but also gained many different valuable experiences.
I have been the class English tutor for almost three years. I like to discuss and share the experience of learning English with people a lot. We often read “China Post” and ”Time Magazine” and discuss the content, the word usage and practice speaking English by discussing the articles we have read. At the beginning we found it was quiet hard because we could rarely understand the content but we encouraged each other not to give up. Gradually we had made improvement, we were so excited by it that the group discussion of English books and magazines became one of the most enjoyable things for us every week. I have won the first prize of school English speech contest in second year of high school and many of my English speech contests in my second year of high school and many of my English articles were put on “Students Post.”
My fondness for English is developed from my childhood. It’s lonely to be the only child. I had no one to play with when I was a kid. My mom knew this so she took me with her all the time. Hence bookstores became my playground and books have been my playmates since I was young. My mom would show me those fancy books with cute illustrations on it. Firstly I was drawn by the pictures and then I was curious about these strange symbols called words. That was my first contact with English. As I was interested what those symbol meant, my parents taught me a bit. As they felt that I was eager to learn, they found me an English tutor. Thanks to my parents got the advantage of learning English by starting it at really early age.
My interest in English brought me to the world of English literature. I have been enchanted by this creative world since then, so I decide to major in English literature. My aim is to explore the world of literature and the world of great writers, to open my eyes and cultivate my mind through this great world of literature.
Besides English literature, I also have a wide range of hobbies. I love reading, Writing, music and movies. I have my active side as well, I enjoy swimming, hiking, raveling and going to the nature a lot. I believe we must have balance in our lives, As to my personality. I am creative, optimistic, determined, willing to help others and down to earth.
I want to be one of the literature students who have the privilege of studying great writers’ work and exploring their inner world, their outlook of life and their role as learned scholars and their influence on the world. I can also do little contribution to awaking the awareness of culture and literature in our society since its importance has been neglected by us.

autobiography-sample one

I am Toa. My English name is Angela. I am 17 years old. I am from Taipei First Girls’ High School. I come from a well-to-do family. My mother passed away when I was in my first junior high year. My father is a computer engineer who remarried again three years ago. My grandparents live with us as well. My family manages to get along pretty well.
Throughout my school years, my academic results have always been pretty good expected in second half of first year and first half of the second year, because my mother’s death was such an anguish to me. It took me more than a year to get better. My father was afraid that I would turn bad after that. So he encouraged me to join many extra-curriculum activities. He sent me to piano class, ballet class and art class.
His purpose was to see that through music and art, I would find a way to let my pain go so that my heart would be comforted and my pain would ease away. I am very grateful to my father’s caring and thoughtful consideration. Since then music has been my spiritual guide, gradually becoming my most intimate companion.
In my high school years, I have taken any chance to participate in school activities. I join the chorus and jazz club, and participate in plenty of contests and performing for many occasions. We have won many contests and had been invited by city mayor to perform in the city hall. I am also the, member of art club, I enjoy sketch and painting very much.
Every time when I have chance I would go to Music Theater to listen to symphony and orchestra performance. There’s not once I would not be moved by the music. I really admire those musicians’ talent, passion and dedication to music. I wish one day I would be able to become one of them, performing on the stage and touring around the world. That’s my passion and expectation to myself, wish you would give me a chance to fulfill it.

Best of the semester (3)

Several years ago, I took a trip to Australia and had many good memories. From then on, I decided that one day I would migrate there. Here are several reasons for why I made the decision. One of the reasons is that the weather there is always cool or cold which is my favorite weather. Besides, people there are so friendly that I need not worry that I would be edged out. Moreover, I was elected to be the owner of Great Barrier Reef which made me have no need to worry about the costly charges there. The most important of all is that there are varieties of food such as Chinese local food so I will not suffer from foodsick. Now, I have already packed my luggage and I will fly to Australia tomorrow.

In our daily life, we must listen to many songs. Among these songs, the lyrics in them may be interesting, funny, touching and so on. To me, the song called “Happy Birthday” does really mean a lot to me even though it’s a common song and there are just four words in it. Every time I hear this song, I always feel pleased because it symbols my friends’ and my relatives’ love and consideration for me. Also, it makes me realize that I have grown up one year old and I will face new challenges and changes. Moreover, I know I should be more mature and responsible for myself. I think the song may be important not only to me, but also to everyone in the world.

Every time I see my scar on my leg, I cannot but tremble. The scar was made in a windy night. That night, my mom cooked in the kitchen as usual and then my family had dinner with pleasure. We talked a lot about our future and shared our dreams. ”Ding-dong!” ”Ding-dong!” Our bell rang and my father went to open the door. About five minutes later, my mom and I felt confused because we didn’t hear any voice after my father went to open the door. Then we went to the door to see who had come. What we saw there was three thieves and my father having already passed out. Mom was so afraid that she screamed stridently. This way caused one of the thieves to notice us, and soon we were captured by him with a gun. The thief asked my mom to give him one million dollars at once or he would kill we family, and then he had my mom take out the money. As soon as my mom went to take the money, she secretly called the police. However, what she did was found by a fat thief and he was so nervous and angry that he took out his gun and shot to my mom. Immediately I ran to my mom and blocked the bullet. Luckily, the police came at once and arrested the three thieves. However,the gunshot wound left a scar on my leg; sometimes, it still causes me to feel irritated . I think I would never forget that terrible night in my life.

Acton is a small town which is a quiet, safe and clean place to live in the Midwest. Last month, however, Stanley Manufacturing decided to open a large factory in this town. I think it will lead to lots of negative effects. First of all, it will produce much pollution which will make the residents’ health get from bad to worse. Besides, it will raise the crime rate if many people are going to move to the community, and therefore the town will no longer be secure.  Then the town will no longer be secure. Although it will bring lots of jobs, I think the dwellers can establish some tourist spots to make the economic growth. Judging from these negative effects, I am opposed to opening a factory in Acton.

Global warming has been more and more serious over the past few years. In fact, it has become such an important issue that we can’t ignore it any more. There are a number of consequences of global warming. First of all, with the temperature increasing, many crops will not grow so lots of people and animals will have no food to eat. It will surely lead to species extinction. Besides, the warming atmosphere may give rise to changes in the amount and pattern of precipitation, which will lead to great climate changes. Also, the glaciers retreating will cause the sea level to rise. It will make all creatures have no places to live. Most important of all, it will also induce much damage, which will make the earth get from bad to worse. With more and more droughts and melting glaciers, I think it is time for us to commit ourselves to earth prevention.

One of my friend, Michael Williams, had just closed his music shop. Here are several reasons why I think his business failed. First, the location of his shop is so far from the town that I think no one was willing to go to such a remote place only to buy a CD. Besides, most of the CDs there were hip-hop and rock. However, most people who live near there are around fifty to sixty years old. I think he should buy other categories of CDs such as world music and classical music because the middle-aged people prefer to listen to light music rather than electronic music. Moreover, the time his shop opened was very short and it missed the bustling time. Not only was the location of the shop far away from the place people live, but the business hours were few. Due to the two reasons, I consider that no one would find his shop except for frequent customers and neighbors. Last but not the least, he would not accept checks and cards. It would surely cause a serious problem for purchasers. Now, I'm going to tell him about my opinion on his business failure and discuss some solutions.

Contrasting--(2)-revised

I'm looking for a new English instructor for my school, and I received two resumes from two people applying for the job. There are some reasons for why I would hire Lynn Whitnall for the job. First of all, although Debra has more education than Lynn, Lynn still had been an English Instructor. Because of this, I think Lynn must be good at English and have enough sense about the job. Besides, Lynn had been a volunteer but Debra hadn't. I think a person who had been a volunteer is more willing to help others. I consider it is what an instructor needs to do. Most important of all, Lynn is fluent in Spanish, French and Japanese. However, Debra is only fluent in French. An instructor who can speak more than one language can introduce to more people. For the reasons above, I'd like to hire Lynn Whitnall instead of Debra.

When I was in Ilan last week, I ate at two restaurants which were similar. I had lunch at RORO Italiana and dinner at OROR Café. First of all, both of the pastas at RORO and OROR were so delicious that I even ordered two pieces. Also, the atmosphere at OROR Café was really comfortable, and so was RORO. Furthermore, the environment in OROR was as tidy, clean and quiet as RORO. The servers at OROR were attentive. Likewise, the servers at RORO were attentive .I can’t wait to introduce my friends the tasty food at the two restaurants.

Have you ever meet people through online dating sites? Do you support it?
In my opinion, I think it's good to make friends through the Internet for several reasons below. First, you can tell all of your secrets to them and you don't need to worry that any of your friends will know about that. It can help you release some pressure. Besides when you are chatting with them, your typing speed will increase a lot. It will make it easier to pass the typing certification for you. Furthermore, you can know variety of people such as Japanese, American, and so on. Although some people may think it's dangerous to be friends with others through the Internet, I consider that you just need to be carefully as what you do with a stranger on the street. Due to all of these reasons, I am really in favor of meeting people through online dating sites.

In recent years, many people talk about the death penalty, do you agree with it?
In my opinion, I think the death penalty is in need of existing because of several reasons below. First, if there is no death penalty, people may think that they can kill anyone. It will surely cause the world in a state of chaos. Second, it's really unfair for those who are killed. Although, the Human Rights organization insists that no one can convict the criminals to death because they have their human rights, I think they must not consider that when the criminals kill others, have they thought of others' human rights? I believe that the answer is no for the reason that if they have, then they should not kill other people. Third, if the murderer is in prison instead of being sentenced to death, he/she will waste lots of national resources. With the number of murderers increasing, they will cause a big financial problem for a country. Taking into account all of these points, it should be clear that the death penalty is necessary.

John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were both important for the American, and they were similar in many ways.  First of all, John Adams was once the president of United States and so was Thomas Jefferson and they were the signers of Declaration of Independence. Besides, both of them delegated to the Continental Congress and they studied laws. In addition, John Adams was a crucial person in the American Revolution. Similarly, Thomas Jefferson played a important role in the American Revolution. Finally, both of them died on July 4, 1826. Due to all of these reasons, I think it’s clear to know why they are still respected by all American.

There are two ladies hoodies which are alike in several ways. First, the colors of the Lourie’s hoodies are red, navy, white and green and so are the Green’s. Besides, the Lourie’s hoodies are as machine washable as the Green’s and both of them are suitable for people whose size is from four to fourteen. In addition, the Green’s hoodies are made by cotton blend and so are the Lourie’s. Finally, both of the two hoodies even sell at the same price. I think I can tell the two hoodies only by the style.

There are some reasons for why I would hire Lynn Whitnall for the job. First of all, although Debra has more education then Lynn, Lynn still had been an English Instructor. Because of this, I think Lynn must be good at English and have enough sense about the job. Besides, Lynn had been a volunteer but Debra hadn't. I think a person who had been a volunteer is more willing to help others. I consider it is what a instructor need to do. Most important of all, Lynn is fluent in Spanish, French and Japanese. However, Debra is only fluent in French. An instructor who can speak more than one language can introduce to more people. For the reasons above, I'd like to hire Lynn Whitnall instead of  Debra.

Contrasting-1

Fairfax Apartments and Campus Apartments differ in several ways. First of all, there are two large bedrooms in Fairfax, but there is only one bedroom in Campus. I think live in a large bedroom is more comfortable than in a moderate bedroom. Besides, Fairfax is furnished but Campus is not. This makes it much more inconvenient to live in Campus because you will need to spend time shopping for new furniture. Although pets are not allowed in Fairfax which is different from Campus, I think it is not a problem for me because I don’t like to keep any pets. Finally, the rent for Fairfax is $1250/month which is more expensive than the rent for Campus. But I can share the other room with my friend if I choose Fairfax. If I do this, I can just pay $625 for a month. I think I will choose Fairfax and now I have to ask my friend to live with me.

When I was in Ilan last week, I ate at two restaurants which were really different. I had lunch at RORO Italiana and dinner at OROR Café. First of all, both of the pastas at RORO and OROR were so delicious that I even ordered two pieces. Also, the atmosphere at OROR Café was really comfortable, and so was RORO. Furthermore, the environment in OROR was as tidy, clean and quiet as RORO. The server at OROR was attentive. Likewise, the server at RORO was attentive .I can’t wait to introduce my friends the tasty food at the two restaurants.

A song that means a lot to me. (revised)

In our daily life, we must listen to many songs. Among these songs, the lyrics in them may be interesting, funny, touching and so on. To me, the song called “Happy Birthday” does really mean a lot to me even though it’s a common song and there are just four words in it. Every time I hear this song, I always feel pleased because it symbols my friends’ and my relatives’ love and consideration for me. Also, it makes me realize that I have grown up one year old and I will face new challenges and changes. Moreover, I know I should be more mature and responsible for myself. I think the song may be important not only to me, but also to everyone in the world.

Describing a person (revised)

Excuse me, could you do me a favor to look for my friend? Thirty minutes ago, we were shopping together, but now we get apart.  Her name is Eva. There are some features of her below. She is seventeen years old and wears glasses. Besides, she is about one hundred and sixty centimeters in height and fifty kilometers in weight. Moreover, she has small eyes and shoulder-length hair. The last time I saw her, she wore a green dress and a red spike heels. Especially, you can recognize her immediately from her nose. It's because people here all have straight nose except her. If you see her, please make contact with me or tell her to come to Dubai Hotel as soon as possible because we will leave here tomorrow morning. My number is 0912-345678. Thanks for your aid.

There are two ladies hoodies which are alike in several ways. First, the colors of the Lourie’s hoodies are red, navy, white and green. Likewise, the colors of the Green’s are red, navy, white and green. Besides, the Lourie’s is as machine washable as the Green’s and the sizes about them are both for people who are at the age of four to fourteen. In addition, the Green’s is made by cotton blend and so is the Lourie’s. Finally, both of the two hoodies are even sold at the same price. I think I can tell the two hoodies only by the style.

The most terrible night in my life. Revised1

Every time I see my scar on my leg, I cannot but tremble. The scar was made in a windy night. That night, my mom cooked in the kitchen as usual and then my family had dinner with pleasure. We talked a lot about our future and shared our dreams. ”Ding-dong!” ”Ding-dong!” Our bell rang and my father went to open the door. About five minutes later, my mom and I felt confused because we didn’t hear any voice after my father went to open the door. Then we went to the door to see who had come. What we saw there was three thieves and my father having already passed out. Mom was so afraid that she screamed stridently. This way caused one of the thieves to notice us, and soon we were captured by him with a gun. The thief asked my mom to give him one million dollars at once or he would kill we family, and then he had my mom take out the money. As soon as my mom went to take the money, she secretly called the police. However, what she did was found by a fat thief and he was so nervous and angry that he took out his gun and shot to my mom. Immediately I ran to my mom and blocked the bullet. Luckily, the police came at once and arrested the three thieves. However,the gunshot wound left a scar on my leg; sometimes, it still causes me to feel irritated . I think I would never forget that terrible night in my life.

A Dream I Have Had Revised1

I have had a dream which was filled with ridiculousness and fun. In the dream, I was studying in my classroom. Suddenly, I saw a helicopter hanging a large building flying very speedy toward my school. Being unable to stand the strong attack from the helicopter, my school collapsed and fell into Taiwan Strait! However, it wasn't the end of my dream. My school turned into a machine kingdom instantly and everyone was still alive. I became the Rock Woman and had to struggle with the monster. We fought on a strange place where was moving down fast. The monster was running after me and then it waved its weapon to me. Luckily, I dodged and started to fire x-ray to it. Unfortunately, I ran out of my energy of x-ray then I ran into a big hole in front of me. After I ran into the hole, I realized that the hole was the end of a conveyor! I saw a sign which read "Game over", then I woke up. I think it was such a funny and excited dream that I have ever had.
