school life

   I study at Department of Applied Foreign Languages in National Tainan Commercial Vocational Senior High School.  I think the past three years was a profuse and interesting period.  It’s because there were many activities such as volleyball game, basketball game, English songs contest and so on.  I enjoyed them very much.  When I took part in these activities, I always tried my best to do them.  Among these contests, I like volleyball game in particular because before the game started, I could practice playing volleyball with my classmates every day after school.  Although we were tired after practicing, we all enjoyed doing it.  Due to our efforts, we finally won the third place.  Through this experience, I learned teamwork and sportsmanship.    

     During the senior high school life, I served as a class leader for one year.  As a class leader, I had to handle all the affairs happened in my class.  Even it was just a small thing, I had to inform my homeroom teacher.  Though someone may think that being a class leader is tiring, but I don’t think so.  I like to serve everyone because I love to see everybody’s smile when I did something for them.  After receiving their gratitude, I would feel satisfied.  It was a tiring job, but it was also a special experience for me.  I realized that it was not easy to be a good leader, who should always have orderly plans and capability of making others willing to obey her instructions.

     Being an English major, I study English every day.  I study not only the textbooks but also English magazines.  Even when I was in the free time, I would listen to English radio, watch English movies and watch English news to improve my listening ability.  I believe that the more I read and listen, the more listening ability and the more vocabulary I will have.  By working hard, my listening ability has improved a lot.  I wanted to test my ability, so I took the General English Proficiency Test and passed the elementary level.  After that, I took the intermediate level of GEPT.  Though I passed the listening, reading and writing tests, I didn’t pass the oral test.  I knew my English ability still left something to be desired.  As a result, I practiced with my classmate every day and eventually I passed the test.

family background

My name is CHENG JU-YUN, born in Kaohsiung. There are four people in my family, including my parents, my elder sister and me. My father, a worker, is responsible and honest. He always tells me that I should admit the mistakes I made. My mother, a career woman, is gentle and good at cooking. My mother always teaches me to look on the bright side when I get in trouble. Therefore, I never give up easily whenever I have trouble. My parents both worked when my sister and I were young, so we had to wake up, buy breakfast and cook dinner by ourselves. Thus, I am independent and I always do things by my own. My elder sister is a college student. She always helps people in need and donates clothes and shoes to whoever needs. She teaches me that to construct is more blissfully than to receive. My family is harmonious and I love my family very much. I am glad to have such a wonderful family.

My name is Yang. I am 17 years old. My English name is Wendy. There are seven people in my family, and I am the second child among five. My father is the undertaker of a factory and my mother is a housewife. My sister is a university student, while my younger sisters and brothers are junior high school students. Luckily, I have a happy family with open-minded parents and have a life with affluent materials.

Since I was a kindergarten student, I enjoyed singing and dancing very much. Usually, I volunteered to perform in front of the class. I remember then, I liked to watch variety shows, and that’s how I learned to sing popular songs. Those singers and actors who perform in TV programs are my idols. Every time we hold the birthday celebration for my grandparents, it is me who have to imitate the singers in front of the relatives to amuse them. I felt entertaining people is such a great enjoyment.

Throughout my school time, I have been a regular student in study, but have excellent performance on various activities. Speech, painting, singing contests are my battlefield and the place for me to win my honor. Besides, I have wide range of hobbies. I enjoy reading novels, seeing movies, swimming, mountain hiking, roller-staking and overseas traveling. Also I join the badminton and drama clubs. I spend most of my time in the drama club after school, for every one of our club members has to undertake the role of both the performer and the staff. There are so many works to be done before a play is ready and all of our club members have to contribute ourselves what we are good at. While working with those vigorous and creative fellows I never feel tired or bored.

This summer, my drama club produces a play called ”Aladdin” as our graduation ceremony show. I played Aladdin’s mother, a comic role in the play with greedy and sarcastic characteristics. Because it was a musical, all the actors had to sing and dance at the same time. And thanks to the professional teachers who volunteered to instruct us, we even did the chorus during the play, which was a quartet with fantastic dancing. During the holidays we came to school doing rehearsals and made the costume and by this creative stage world that I stared to think very seriously that whether it was a dream for me to pursuit. My parents tell me to do what I want but not what I am expected to and this is why I decided to apply myself to the drama department.
I want to become a stage actress as other companies who have the same ideal.

To me, a play not only can offer people entertainment, but also in many times, it can provide people a different point of view toward lives. Compare to those with full trained skill, who come from a professional school, maybe I am far too idealistic and naive. I know nothing is easy and I think to be a drama department student would be a big challenge. I have learned a line from my English teacher that is, ”Not until you give it a try will you know the result.” I got passion and expectation to myself, wish you would give me a opportunity to make my dream come true

autobiography-sample one

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.

One morning, I woke up as usual and went down the stairs dreamily. To my shock, I saw a stranger who was sunk in sleep lie on the sofa as if nothing had happened. Then I found that all the things were turned over and spread at sixes and sevens. Moreover, the thief ate all the food in the refrigerator. He also drank several beers and got drunk. After I saw that, I began to shout loudly in order to get rid of my fear. Before long, the thief woke up and took out a gun then he shouted at me,” Be quiet, or I will shot you.” Then I secretly put my hand into my pocket and found that I had a cell phone. Alarmingly, I called the police. Soon, the police arrived and burst open the door. The thief was so astonished that he couldn’t move. Then the police handcuffed the thief and sent him to the police station. Thanks to the police arrived in time; I could depart from the danger. I think that this was the most frightening experience I have ever had.

I'm not on the same page as those who oppose using the death penalty as a form of criminal punishment.  Although many people insist that using the death penalty be cruel, I strongly believe that the punishment can decrease the crime rate because by doing that, those who are going to commit crimes will stop to think before they do illegal things.  In addition, no one can argue against the fact that if we punish the criminals by using the death penalty, the victims won't worry that the criminals will hurt them again.  Moreover, too many criminals will commit the same crimes because they think that what they did will not threaten their lives.  Consequently, it's for all the above-mentioned reasons that I believe we should use the death penalty as a form of criminal punishment.
