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

 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.

 In my opinion, it is good to meet people through online dating sites.  One of my reasons is that we can meet people all over the world.  Through the Internet, we can get in touch with people from many different countries while in real life we are not able to meet and talk with foreigners.  In addition, people who are shy may feel easier to chat through the Internet because he/she doesn't need to be face to face with others.  Sometimes it's simpler to make friends on the Net since we don't have to get along with those we know through the Net actually.  And the last thing is that people who have the same interest can get together more easily on the Internet.  Online dating sites often divide their members into different categories according to their hobbies or jobs.  If we take advantage of these dating sites in a right way, it will be safe and interesting to meet people through online dating sites.

Best of the Semester-2

Michael Williams opened a small music store selling compact discs on September 5, but he soon closed his shop.  After reading its description, I think I know why Mr. Williams failed.  First of all, the location of his store was not good.  It was outside of town and unfortunately, there were two large music stores in the shopping center which is 3 miles away from it.  Most people would go to the shopping center and just buy CDs at those two large music stores instead of Mr. Williams’.  Another account was the type of the CDs he sold.  Most of them were hip-hop and rock, which were popular with young people.  However, the majority of the residents in this region were middle-aged or old.  In addition, the shop was opened Monday to Friday from 1 to 5 p.m., but the time when people would walk past the store was 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 12 a.m.  And that Mr. Williams would not accept checks or credit cards was also a problem.  Some of the customers might consider it inconvenient and decide not to buy CD if they didn’t have enough money on hand.  The statement above is my opinion on Mr. Williams’ failure in operating his music store and I feel sorry for him.

Best of the Semester-1

I decide to go to an English-speaking country, and this decision may have some effects on my life.  For one thing, I may encounter language obstacles and culture shock.  Though I have been learning English for a very long time, I still have many problems in listening, speaking and writing.  As a result, it may be difficult for me to communicate with others.  As for culture shock, there are a lot of differences between the East and the West, and therefore, it may take me a long time to be accustomed.  Moreover, I may get homesick.  After moving to a foreign country, I may soon feel like returning Taiwan if I can’t blend into the new environment.  In addition, I have to change my lifestyle.  It may be fun and I can enjoy different form of life.  Although I cannot predict how it would be like after I move to an English-speaking country, I’m still looking forward to it.

Discussing Effects-2-revised

Acton is a small town in the Midwest.  It has a population of 2,500.  Now, Stanley Manufacturing decides to open a large factory in Acton.  As a resident in Acton, I think it may cause some negative results.  The first one is pollution.  The factory will lead to environmental pollution as it starts operating.  Water and air will be dirty.  Another problem is that the opening of the new factory will bring many new people to the community, and these people may make the town different.  Acton is a safe, clean, and quiet place, but the new migrators may make the town a noisy and bustling one.  Last but not least, as more and more people move into the small town, living space will be insufficient.  House price may rise rapidly and people may not have  enough money to buy a house.  Such is why I consider it bad that a big factory opens in Acton.
