School Life - revised

I studied at Department of Applied Foreign Languages, National Tainan Commercial Vocational Senior High School (NTCVS).   I have a wonderful senior high school life.  I am glad to have so many lovely classmates to learn and experience a lot of activities together.  They are so humorous and kind to me.  Because of them, I feel it is interesting to go to school. 

Being English major, I study English every day. I study not only the textbooks but also English magazines.  During the three years in school, my English ability has improved a lot.  With the English training in all aspects, I feel my reading ability raises the most and I speak English more fluently than I did when I entered the senior high school.  In the process of learning English, I encountered many difficulties.  But I always hold a positive attitude toward overcoming them. 

In my extracurricular activities, I enjoyed playing volleyball with my friends and learned what is called teamwork.  Playing volleyball is the tradition of my school.  Besides, I have ever served as class treasurer for a half year.   I really learned a lot when I was in this position.  For example, I learned how to communicate with others about money.  And I think that I had done my best to do my job well because many classmates wrote about this on the cards and sent them to me.  Else, When I was a tenth grader, our class had to attend our first sports meet in senior high, and the school required that all tenth graders should participate in the make-up parade at the beginning of the ceremony.   After learning the news, our class chose me to lead them in this activity.  With our efforts and our cooperation, we got third place in this contest.  By being in charge of these positions, I got lots of precious experiences.  I realized that it was not easy to be a leader, who should always have orderly plans and capability of making others willing to obey her instructions.  During these three years, I learned a lot of experience and I felt that I had a meaningful senior high school life.

Self-Evaluation - revised

I think I am an easy-going person.  For example, I am always able to make friends in a new environment soon.  And I always come to someone’s rescue.  Therefore, I got many thank-you cards at the end of the year.  Besides, I’m enthusiastic.  For instance, when I am waiting for a bus, if I see the older next to me, I will ask them what number are the buses they are waiting for, and I will help them to notice the buses.  I think this is my pleasure to serve the older. 

I like not only dynamic activity but also quiet activity.  Dynamic activity, for example, I like to take part in some summer camps and winter camps.  Even, I used to be the “big sister” in summer camp twice.  I accompany the children to run, jump and play ball games.  These are the very warm recollections.  Quiet activity, for example, I like to play the musical instrument.  I can play the guzheng and trumpet.  I love music and I think they cause my mind to be tranquil.  Therefore, I often go to concerts with friends for relax.  In addition, I love read books in my free time.  My favorite writer is Houwenyong.  I learn a lot from his books, and find many pleasures in them.  He puts his attitude toward life into words, and has a sense of humor. 

Future Perspective - revised

I will still choose English as my major in college.  Studying a foreign language is a long and difficult process, so I have to make more efforts to improve my English ability.  I will keep reading English magazines, listening to English radio programs, doing exercise about writing and practicing talking to my friends in English.  Most important of all, I hope I can take more advanced professional courses to enhance my English abilities and get myself more well-prepared for my future career – an English teacher. With the beautiful campus, professional teachers and wonderful facilities, National Kaohsiung First University of Science and Technology is an ideal university I have been longing for.  The Department of Foreign Language offers all kinds of English-related courses, which will help me to enhance my English ability and broaden my horizon.  I think your courses will help me a lot in pursuing my goal.  I am attracted to the specialized courses, such as “English Teaching for Children”, “Multimedia English” and “Psychology and language. “  If I can enter Department of Foreign Language in National Kaohsiung First University of Science and Technology, I will try my best to achieve my goal step by step.

At last, I will make efforts to enhance my English ability in my future. And I will stick to my principle to help people and look everything on the bright side.

Autobiograph-sample two

     My name is Fang. I am now 17 years old. I have an English name called Matthew. I am studying in a private high school. There are five people in my family. My father is a military officer and my mother is a housewife. Both of my younger brother and sister are studying in junior high school. You might think that my family is a traditional and stern family because of my father; on the contrary, it is the opposite. My father is open-minded and a person of sense of humor. I must say that I am lucky to have such a happy family.
My father certainly has great influence on me, and I always look up to him. His passion and dedication to his job and family are the best things he gives us. He never forces us to do things we do not like. He gives us freedom of choice. That is why I can join so many school activities and have the chance to develop my hobbies.
I have been very active in school activities. I am one of the so-called computer freaks who just cannot keep their eyes off the computer screen. My friends know I am good in computer. As long as their computers have troubles, they would turn to me. I am also a pitcher on the school baseball team. Our team has won many, many matches; thus, we gained an honorable title of “unbeatable team.” I believe this resulted from our constant practice, hard work and our strong team spirit.
Although using computer and playing baseball take up most of my leisure time, I manage to spare some spare time to play the electronic guitar in a band. I use computer to make many of our songs into MIDI files and forward to many of my friends. My friends love them and think they are awesome. Being able to combine my knowledge of computer and music is my proudest thing. Don't get me wrong. I didn't neglect my study. Unless my grades in school are OK, my parents will not let me go for all these.
I have been interested in computer since I was in the fifth grade. That was the time when father had his big computer on his desk. Every time I saw father's face with great concentration while using computer, I developed my admiration to it. I said to myself, “I want to be like him one day.”
I liked to play around with my father's computer. One day I accidentally deleted one of my father's important files. I was so scared that my father would be furious with me. However, it was not the case. My father gave me a gift instead of punishment. I was so surprised. Guess what? Yes, I got a new computer. Ever since then, I have been addicted to computers, especially after the emerging of the Internet. Surfing the net has been one of my greatest hobbies.
The e-commerce has changed our traditional lifestyle. Take myself as an example, I keep in touch with my friends through e-mail messages, I send my greetings through e-cards, I buy books from e-bookstores, I shop from many websites and I search information from the searching engine.
Beyond doubt, the importance of the e-era has brought most powerful revolution to the business world. Banks and stock market transaction through the net, business to business direct transaction through the net and the space and time limitation no longer exist. I am fascinated with the new change and eager to take part in it. So I have decided to study in Computer and Information Science. I want to be a professional computer programmer who creates and designs the software to meet the needs of people in e-era.

Autobiography - sample one

     I am Lin. Sophia is my English name. I am 18 years old, studying in a public 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 the only child in the family; however, I am not the so-called spoiled child. My parents have trained me to be independent since I was a child.
Throughout my academic years, I not only get good grades but also am very active on sport field and involved in school club activities. 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 make many friends and have lots of fun but also gain many different valuable experiences. 
I had been the class English assistant for almost three years. I liked to discuss and share the experience of learning English with people a lot. We often read China Post and Time Magazine then discussed their contents, the word usages and practice speaking English by discussing the articles we read. In the beginning, we found it 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. Then the group discussion of English books and magazines became one of the most enjoyable thing for us to do every week. I won the first prize in the school English speech contest in my second year of high school and many of my English articles had been put on Students Post.
My fondness for English has been developed since my childhood. It is lonely to be the only child. I had no one to play with when I was a kid. My mother knew about this so she brought me with her all the time. Hence, bookstores became my childhood playground and books have been my playmates. Mother would show me those fancy books with cute illustrations on them. Firstly drawn by the pictures, I was curious about these strange symbols called “words.” This was my first contact with English. As I was interested in knowing what those symbol mean, my parents taught me a bit. As they felt that I was eager to learn, they got me an English tutor. Thanks to my parents, I have advantages in learning English by starting at a really early age.
My interest in English brought me to the world of English literature. I have been enchanted by this creative world, so I decide to major in English literature. My aim is to explore the world of literature and the world of great writers, opening my eyes and cultivating 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, traveling and getting close to Nature a lot. I believe we must achieve a sense of 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 has the privilege of studying great writers’ works and exploring their inner worlds, their outlook of lives, their roles as learned scholars and their influences on the world. I hope I can also make some contribution to the awareness of culture and literature in our society since its importance has been neglected.

     I’ m a business administration student.  I found there are several reasons why Mr. Williams’ business failed.  First of all, the store’ s location was inappropriate because it was located near a shopping center which has two large music stores.  Second, the CDs there were hip-hop and rock that Mr. Williams bought were monotonous.  However, people who may present themselves for buying CDs are middle-aged people.  The middle-aged may refuse to buy hip-hop and rock style CDs.  Furthermore, the wages for Mr. Williams’ employees was too high.  Therefore, Mr. Williams would lose money before earn money.  Last but not the least, the shop hours are too short.  He carried on business on the wrong time and opened his store too little time so that he would lose a great deal of customers.  To sum up, Mr. Williams’ failure on business is reasonable and we can use this case as a warning.

     Over the past 150 years there has been a huge increase in population.  According to scientists’ researches, there are a lot of reasons for it.  First of all, medicine and health care are progressive.    In the past, there is a great deal of diseases that doctors can’t remedy.  Now, medicine has made great progress.  Therefore, the mortality is decreasing.  Second, we have better sanitation.  With health concepts, modern people care hygiene, including food hygiene, personal hygiene, environmental sanitation, and so on.  To maintain good health habits, you can avoid falling ill.  Third, people improved farming methods that produce more and better food.  There are more people discovering better farming methods, and manufacturing abundant food.  Last but not the least, fewer infant deaths and more people living longer lead to a huge population.  Hospital care is complete, so the infant mortality decreases.  And the old may take plenty of medicines to keep their life.  To sum up, the population suddenly increase is because the technology is advancing.

     I am in favor of the death penalty.  I think this punishment is necessary.  First of all, the condemned are wasting our food when they are in prison.  The government uses taxpayers' money to buy their food for feeding them.  Second, if we cancel the death penalty, the criminal rate may increase.  It is because the criminals don’t worry that they will die and their living.  Therefore, some people will kill those who they hate, not horrifying their punishment.  Furthermore, if they release on parole or forever, the people will be anxious anytime and anywhere.  Third, I think the death penalty is the only way that the condemned can be responsible for their mistakes.  They should use a life for a life, or for many lives.  To sum up, the death penalty can punish someone as a warning to others, so I approve it!

     When I visited my friend’s home last month, we watched two movies.  We watched “Inkheart” and “The Spiderwick Chronicles” in the morning.  Inkheart and The Spiderwick Chronicles are alike in several ways.  First or all, Inkheart was a science fiction film. Similarly, The Spiderwick Chronicles was a science fiction film.   And the former movie is as exciting as the latter.  Second, the characters consist of humans and animation figures in Inkheart; likely, The Spiderwick Chronicles consists of humans and animation figures.  So, I think these two films are interesting and cute, even though there are many ugly and evil animation figures.  Third, the ending of Inkheart is similar to the ending of The Spiderwick Chronicles, they are warm and fragrant.  Last but not the least, both Inkheart and The Spiderwick Chronicles teach us that the importance of family love and unity.  Therefore, if you want to see movies as your pastime after monthly exams, not forgetting to watch these two films!

     I’m a business administration student.  I found there are several reasons why Mr. Williams’ business failed.  First of all, the store’s location was inappropriate because it was located near a shopping center which has two large music stores.  Second, the music styles that Mr. Williams bought were monotonous.  Hip-hop and rock, however, people who may present themselves for buying CDs is middle-aged people.  The middle-aged may refuse to buy hip-hop and rock style CDs.  Furthermore, the wages for Mr. Williams’ employees was too high.  Therefore, Mr. Williams would lose money before earn money.  Last but not the least, the shop hours are too short.  He carried on business on the wrong time and opened his store too little time so that he would lose a great deal of customers.  To sum up, Mr. Williams’ failure on business is reasonable and we can use this case as a warning.

     Over the past 150 years there has been a huge increase in population.  According to scientists’ researches, there are a lot of reasons for it.  First of all, advances in medicine and health care.    In the past, there is a great deal of diseases that doctors can’t remedy.  Now, medicine has made great progress.  Therefore, the mortality is decreasing.  Second, we have better sanitation.  With health concepts, modern people care hygiene, including food hygiene, personal hygiene and environmental sanitation.  To maintain good health habits, you can avoid falling ill.  Third, people improved farming methods that produce more and better food.  There are more people discovering better farming methods, and manufacturing abundant food.  Last but not the least, fewer infant deaths and more people living longer lead to a huge population.  Hospital care is complete, so the infant mortality decreases.  And the old may take plenty of medicines to keep their life.  To sum up, the population suddenly increase is because the technology is advancing.

I oppose using nuclear power to solve the energy crisis.  First of all, this will increase greenhouse gas emissions.  We had only one earth, if the greenhouse gases harm to the atmosphere, our environment will become terrible.  Second, if the nuclear power plants explode accidentally, it will be an indelible injury.  For example, Chernobyl's explosion made a lot of people lead a miserable life.  Third, we don’t know how to deal with the nuclear waste.  There will be a lot of waste from nuclear, but they will harm our ecology.  In concluding, if we want to lead a safe life, we should reduce the use of nuclear energy, and save energy.

Expressing on Opinion-1

I am in favor of the death penalty.  I think this punishment is necessary.  First of all, the condemned are wasting our food when they are in prison.  The government uses taxpayers' money to buy their food for feeding them.  Second, if we cancel the death penalty, the criminal rate may increase.  It is because the criminals don’t worry that they will die and their living.  Therefore, some people will kill those who they hate, not horrifying their punishment.  Furthermore, if they release on parole or forever, the people will be anxious anytime and anywhere.  Third, I think the death penalty is the only way that the condemned can be responsible for their mistakes.  They should use a life for a life, or for many lives.  To sum up, the death penalty can punish someone as a warning to others, so I approve it!

     My friend and I looked for an apartment to share near campus.  We searched the webs for apartment sites.  And we found that there were two choices on the “findyourperfectapartmentrightnow” site.  One choice was “Fairfax Apartments”, and the other was “CAMPUS APTS”.  First of all, Fairfax Apartments offered large two bedrooms apartment, but CAMPUS APTS offered one bedroom apartment available immediately in large modern building.  I think that they have different advantage.  Second, Fairfax Apartments was furnished, whereas CAMPUS APTS was unfurnished.  Third, Fairfax Apartments requireed that we can not have pets. In contrast, CAMPUS APTS allowed us to keep pets.  But we had no pets, this regulation wasn’t important.  Last but not the least, the rent of Fairfax Apartments was $1250/month; however, the rent of CAMPUS APTS was only $900/ month plus utilities.  By comparison, my friend and I think that the former apartment was a fit place for us to lives; namely, we decided to rent Fairfax Apartments’.

     I'm hiring a new English instructor for my school.  I received the following two résumés from people applying for the job.  One is from Lynn Whitnall, and another is from Debra Fines.  The two résumés are different in several ways.  First of all, Lynn Whitnall’ s education is different from Debra Fines’.  Debra has more educations than Lynn.  So, I think that Debra will teach more useful things than Lynn.  Second, their employment experiences are discrepancy.  Debra has a lot of employment experience, while Lynn doesn’t have.  Owing to comparison of their experience, I think that Debra is more experienced.        Third, Lynn got the Excellence in Teaching Award in 2004, while Debra published the English Verb Tenses and Shortman Publishing Company in 2006.  Therefore, I would like to choose Debra to be a new English instructor for my school, and I think she will do her best!

     My favorite season is winter.  First of all, the winter in Taiwan is cold and cool, and I feel good and comfortable.  Second, because of the low temperature, the number of mosquitoes in winter is much lower than that in winter, and so are other insects.  Third, when we are doing exercise without lots of sweat, and the air is cleaner.   Last but not the least, the students have winter vacation in this term, and the New Year is coming soon.  For this reason, we can get some red envelopes to buy new clothes.  To sum up, there are too many advantages in winter, and I love it very much!
