Autobiography－Final

Family  Background

My name is Ching-Ti Chen.  I am a seventeen-year-old teenager, born in Tainan City.  There are nine members in my family, including four adults and five children.  Because of the tough financial support and the low pay earned only by my mother, we five girls all have been taught to make good use of money and cherish everything since we were very young.  Also, all I can do to relieve my family finance is try my utmost to study hard and apply for scholarships, for not only do I have incapability of getting a job to earn money but I also want to repay my mother’s moil.

Father once occupied a sir in the military camp 30 years ago.  Accordingly, he is severe about our behavior, correcting our mistakes.  But he also gives me good lessons and trains me to become a responsible person.  My mom is a career woman and I show great respect to her, thinking of her as a superwoman.  She always encourages me to be more mature and independent.  Because of these concerned and tolerated parents, I grow up with happy and adore.  My elder sister studies in Department of Fashion Design in Tainan University Of Technology.  She is knowledgeable and good at art.  As I get into troubles, she will also listen to me and offer some constructive advice.  My three younger sisters bring laughter to us all the time and make the whole house filled with happiness.  My grandparents are over 70 years old; but they still healthy, usually concerning about our daily life.  It’s my pleasure to own such a lovely and harmonious family.  I have unforgettable memories from my childhood to now.

School  Life

Being an elementary school student, I wasn’t good at studying, especially in English, and usually got poor grades.  My mom sent me to a cram school and encouraged me to try to make friends with English and other subjects again and again.  ”Never give up, and triumph will be yours.” said my mom to me.  Not until I went to a cram school on the neighborhood did I have interest in English.  There, I improved my ability of English gradually and grades got better and better.   Eventually, I found the passion for learning it.  As an English lover, I applied to Department of Applied Foreign Languages in National Tainan Commercial Vocational Senior High School, where could content my enthusiasm for English.

In NTCVS I had a knowledge-enriched school life.  Not only did I keep paying close attention in class, but I also studied hard and did my utmost to study English.  In my free time, I listened to English broadcasting radio such as ICRT.   English textbooks, I study every issue of Advanced Studio Classroom magazine to train my reading skills and increase vocabulary.  Furthermore, for the sake of examining my English ability, I took General English Proficiency Test (GEPT) for the elementary and intermediate level and passed it.   Apart from English, I strived to equip myself with computer software abilities.  Finally, my efforts paid off.  I get a grade C license of application of computer software.  In addition, I love drawing pictures and designing.  As a consequence, I served as the director of academic and art affair section two times.  If there is any competition about these, I will be bond to participate in them.

Besides undergoing academic education, I also retain unforgettable recalls with my classmates over these three years.  For example, we had such many activities as volleyball games, which is one of my favorite sports and my school's traditions, field trips, athletic meets, and so on.  Once in a while, we crazily and delightedly cheered for our championships; however, sometime failures depressed us.

In the second year of my life of senior high, I participated in the track and field team.  This year was also the busiest moment because I had an important county race and our coach demanded us to practice everyday.  When my classmates were taking exams or studying in the morning, I had to receive the rigorous training.  The competition lasted for five days, which made me be absent.  After coming back to my school life, I had to take make-up exams and make up notes on textbooks.  As a student and athlete, I was so busy that I had no time having leisure recreations.  This experience enabled me to know that I should arrange my time regularly and orderly so that I wouldn't be eventually caught off my guard.

I also join various school clubs.  In my first year in NTCVS, I took part in a volleyball club; then the next year a music recording club, and now I attend the ABC club, which is about learning English.  I hoped to have my English skills improved a lot by joining this club.

Apart from above, the most precious treasure in my senior high school life is that I had several best and honest friends.  We usually discussed something interesting or went out for playing and shopping.  They would be willing to listen to me and provided useful suggestions as I encountered troublesome or annoying matters.  But most important of all is that they respect and support me for good.  I was really appreciated to own these genuine and intimate friends.

Self-Evaluation

  Dealing with things by myself without asking for help is one of my personalities.  My mom has told me to be more independent and not to add others’ trouble since I was young.  Another reason is that I can just follow my will when doing something on my own.  I am a positive person.  Every day I wear a smile on the face and keep myself in a good mood.  Even though being under great strain or gloom, I usually calm down my mind, look on the bright side, and do what makes me happier.

With a diversity of hobbies, I am willing to learn whatever I have great interest in.  Cooking is one of my most favorite hobbies.  It brings me a sense of achievement when I finish a serving of culinary food with my whole heart.  I also feel happy as I serve the food to people and see the happy expressions on their face.  Moreover, I’m an athletic lover.  On the one hand I have been used to exercising since I was five.  On the other hand, exercising can not only keep the shape but develop a strong body.  It also makes me be in a good mood and have excellent immunity.

My advantage is being creative.  I usually fall into fantasy whenever even as I’m taking a class. With inspirations popping up in my mind, I write or draw them down in a notebook.  As a left-hander, I display great ardor for art.  I love drawing pictures in my free time.  I read comic books and see animations to gather inspirations.  For the sake of sharpening my drawing skills, I share my art works with friends and we give suggestions with one another.  If there are competitions about art or design held, I’ll take part in without hesitation.

Being a liberal-pursuer, I love living in a life full of free and without stress.   As being confronted with difficulties or overwhelmed by the pressure of schoolwork, I tend to go out for a walk, seeing scenery to help my mood calm and relax.  Sometimes I send a greet message to my friends to keep in touch.  In such special holidays as Christmas and moon festival, we give cards and presents to express our sincerity.  Although my daily life is ordinary and plain, I am content with what I have experienced and appreciate what some people have done for me.

My motto is “Strive harder to tackle difficulties and make more efforts in work, while pleasure is what you can derive from it.”   If I am willing to study harder and be tougher, and do my utmost for everything, then enjoyment will be with you for good.  This motto gave me motivation to be proficient in English and exploit it.

Future  Perspective

  Languages are very marvelous, which can not only convey what people are thinking in their mind but also built up a bridge between the communications with others.  Nowadays, English has become the second tongue and necessary worldwide.  English, to me, is a novel language except for my native language, Chinese.  With the first touch with English when being young, until now the continuous learning, I have improved my English abilities and been stimulated with the passion of English.  What's more, I also like the courses about hospitality and travel.  Therefore, Department of Applied English in National Kaohsiung University of Hospitality and Tourism is my first choice.

This is a new apartment established in National Kaohsiung University of Hospitality and Tourism recently, differing from other universities because it tends to the aspect of hospitality.  But it provides a diversity of lessons.  Not only does it has basic English courses –—listening, speaking, reading, and writing, but it also has professional hospitality and advanced Japanese learning lessons.  Moreover, which lures me most is the chance of abroad practical training.  I can learn to serve customers in hotels and broaden my visions both domestically and overseas.

As for my future study plans, I’ll keep sharpening my English essential skills, especially in speaking.  I hope one day I can communicate with foreigners naturally and make eye contact to them.  In addition, I read more foreign magazines and novels, listen to English songs or radios.  Besides English, I’ll also enhance knowledge in Japanese and hospitality and travel in order to enlarge my cognition.  Above all are the motivations and I really hope that I can be admitted to this university.  In the space of four years, I will do my best to achieve my goals, making progress step by step.

Conclusion

  Although the study stress is so heavy and I have to undertake strict training of every aspect in English, I think I won’t regret to have entered this apartment.  Having unforgettable and precious experience in high school, I am expecting to lead another brand-new life in your university.  With the enthusiasm of learning English, I am sure that I can thoroughly develop my ability of language and let myself touch deeper with English in the following four years.

Autobiography--sample two

My name is Lei Chai-chen. I am 24 years old, graduated from National University of Tainan. I come from a very happy middle class family. I have one younger sister. My father is an operator and my mother is a homemaker. I am not the so-called spoiled child. I was taught to be independent since childhood. During my studies, I have joined the Tzu Chi Collegiate Association and participated in many activities. I really enjoyed participating in school activities. I not only made many friends, but also gained many different valuable experiences.
  My favorite hobby is reading.  It not only provides me with useful information, but it also gives me so much pleasure. By reading I am able to enter another world where I can travel to any period of time and to any place and forget my daily cares. I enjoy reading of many kinds like reading novels, adventure stories, travel books, and articles in magazines. To tell the truth, reading brings joys and adds more flavors to my tiring and dull school life.
  I started playing the violin when I was five, my teacher taught me many technique and I would like to major in music and be a performer in the future. In my opinion, be a violinist has more and more practice; a good violinist has to be sensitive to the reactions of music score and will express it, therefore, I think to go argument knowledge is necessary to Europe, so I decide to go to Birmingham Conservatory.
  Next, when I graduate from research institute would like to stay for two years after Britain returned to Taiwan or mainland China and teaching students the technique of violin. Because I want more music to more students what they can learn, so I want to get into Birmingham Conservatory learning.

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.

  Several reasons below indicates what lead to the failure of Michael Williams’ business.  The site is one of the main results.  This music store is situated at the Fairfax Apartment Building, which is on a small side street just outside of town.  Therefore, people can hardly find the correct direction about this store.

  It is 3 miles away from a shopping center that has two large music stores standing there as well.  That is, the wrong position brings about the loss of Michael Williams’ store in the intense competition among these music stores.

  CDs’ categories are also too few and narrow.  According to the survey in this region, the majority of residents of the Fairfax approximately aged from 51 to 60.  Most of the CDs in Michael Williams’ shop, however, are hip-hop and rock, which may be teenagers' favorite.  As a consequence, that’s why this store doesn’t successfully attract extensive consumers.

  In addition, the open time is short and inappropriate.  Based on another investigation, the time that fewest numbers of people walking past the store is from 12 to 6 P.M, form Monday to Friday.  Because the shop was open Monday to Friday from 1 to 5 P.M, during which hardly any passersby will past it, it sells not very well.

  The last account is that Mr. Williams won’t accept checks or credit cards. It is also an effect on the store’s being out of business.  Due to these above, we can learn why Michael Williams has a failed business.

There are more and more nuclear power plants built around the world.  However, since the explosion of nuclear power plants in Japan, it is considered whether this sort of energies will still be used to generate electricity.

Despite the fact that nuclear power is one of the most imperative sources which provide electrical energy, I think that it is better to decrease the application of nuclear power.  First of all, the water discharged from plants will cause heat pollutions, which leads to the destruction of marine ecology.  Temperature undersea is so overheated that creatures are dead.

Another reason is radiation leaks.  Because of the potential nuclear meltdowns, radiation leaks out and causes humans to get cancers and pregnant women to give birth to deformity babies.

Last but not the least, nuclear waste store will occupy the space on small islands. Many people are protesting for this issue in order to have an unpolluted and healthy environment.

It is for all the above-mentioned reasons that I believe it appropriate to forbid the nuclear power generation and I suggest finding other natural resources for electric power.

Best of the semester－Ⅰ

  Among four seasons in a year, it is spring that I like the most.  Below these points will delineate my favorite season.  To begin with, the weather in spring is warm and sunny; the temperature is moderate as well.  Sometimes it is comfortable when the wind blows on my face.  What is more, a variety of colorful flowers are in full bloom, the grass turns green, and trees bud new leaves.  These sights form an impressive view and overflow with vigor.  It also makes me relaxed and delighted when seeing such insects as butterflies and bees flying everywhere, being busy in extracting honey from blossomy flowers, and listening to birds singing on branches.  Finally, spring is usually defined as “a new start of a year”.  We examine what we had done in the past year and improve ourselves to have a restart in an initial stage of a year.  Above the wherefores are why I am fascinated with spring.

  Acton is a small town in the Midwest which has a population of 2,500.  It is a safe, quiet, and clean place to live.  Most of the people have lived in there all their lives and know each other very well.  The town hasn’t changed very much in the past 100 years.  However, Stanley Manufacturing decided to open a large factor in Acton last month, which will bring many immigrants to this community.  Some people are worried about the bad effects of this new factory’s construction on the small town.  Whereas others are excited about the positive impact the new factory will have.  

  In my opinion, it is improper to build a plant in this town and to induce some negative influence.  For example, though the construction brings people lots of working opportunities, it will cause pollution as well.  Smoke voided from the factory fills the sky, the emission of waste water makes the rivers’ or streams’ temperature hotter and hotter, and a large amount of garbage thrown out arbitrarily has an impact on the environment’s pollution.  Another cause is that many immigrants move here to get a job, which will disturb the peace of Acton.  Local residents may feel curious and strange about these non-native people.  In addition, though the population in Acton sharply increases because of people from other places, it will be more crowded and noisy and destroy the tradition’s balance in this small town.  For the dwellers’ consideration, I think the factory had better not be structured in Acton.

  Are you eager for getting married like those who want a happy matrimony?  In order to prove their deep love with each other, people complete the notarization marriage and start their new conjugal life.  Some think it at a positive side, while others consider it a misery.  Indeed, people have different viewpoints about newly-married life or getting conjugal has individual effects on them.

  Initially, you have a new family and responsibility for it.  Therefore, it is uneasy and unfree to do something such as traveling alone for at least a month. 

 Next, you can accompany with your husband or wife much longer than the time when you are boyfriend and girlfriend after you get married.

  Additionally, you should share the household chores with your mate so as to show this family members’ division of labor and cooperation.

  There are several reasons that lead to the failure of Michael Williams’ business.  The site is one of the main results.  This music store is situated at the Fairfax Apartment Building, which is on a small side street just outside of town.  Therefore, people can hardly find the correct direction about this store.

  It is also 3 miles away from a shopping center that has two large music stores standing there.  That is, the wrong position brings about the loss of Michael Williams’ store in the intense competition among these music stores.

  In addition, CDs’ categories are too few and narrow.  According to the survey in this region, the majority of residents of the Fairfax approximately aged from 51 to 60.  However, most of the CDs in Michael Williams’ shop are hip-hop and rock, which may be teenagers' favorite.  As a consequence, that’s why this store doesn’t successfully attract extensive consumers.

  Moreover, the open time is short and inappropriate.  Based on another investigation, the time that fewest numbers of people walking past the store is from 12 to 6 P.M, form Monday to Friday.  Because the shop was open Monday to Friday from 1 to 5 P.M, during which hardly any passersby will past it, it sells not very well.

  The last account is that Mr. Williams won’t accept checks or credit cards. It is also an effect on the store’s being out of business.  Due to these above, we can learn why Michael Williams has a failed business.

  More and more people are immigrating to other countries.  What promotes them to move to another country?  To begin with, people are attracted by other countries’ fascinating sites.  With beautiful scenery, people lead a relaxed life.

  Another reason is that people have a desire for having peace and quiet spaces with no-garbage environments for the high quality life.  Thus, they move outside from their own country.

  Furthermore, modernization architectures and convenient facilities which are better than their native nation also belong to one of the factors.  For this, people choose to leave for the places, where are their ideal heavens.

  Some people immigrate to the foreign land for further education.  They can learn not only the regional language but cultures there.  They consequently decide to move to where they want to live.

  Finally, people enjoy contacting with local residents and foreigners in the bustling and exotic country.  They can even make friends with many kinds of people around the world.  So, I think maybe that is also the main reason why people look forward to moving to another country.

  Acton is a small town in the Midwest which has a population of 2,500.  It is a safe, quiet, and clean place to live.  Most of the people have lived in there all their lives and know each other very well.  The town hasn’t changed very much in the past 100 years.  However, Stanley Manufacturing decided to open a large factor in Acton last month, which will bring many immigrants to this community.  Some people are worried about the bad effects of this new factory’s construction on the small town.  Whereas others are excited about the positive impact the new factory will have.  

  In my opinion, it is improper to built a plant in this town and induce some negative influence.  For example, though the construction brings people lots of working opportunities, it will cause pollution as well.  Smoke voided from the factory fills the sky, the emission of waste water makes the rivers’ or streams’ temperature hotter and hotter, and a large amount of garbage thrown out arbitrarily has an impact on the environment’s pollution.  Another cause is that many immigrants move here to get a job, which will disturb the peace of Acton.  Local residents may feel curious and strange about these non-native people.  In addition, though the population in Acton sharply increases because of people from other places, it will be more crowded and noisy and destroy the tradition’s balance in this small town.  For the dwellers’ consideration, I think the factory had better not be structured in Acton.

There are more and more nuclear power plants built around the world.  However, since the explosion of nuclear power plants in Japan, it is considered whether this sort of energies will still be used to generate electricity.  Despite the fact that nuclear power is one of the most imperative sources which provide electrical energy, I think that it is better to decrease the application of nuclear power.  First of all, the water discharged from plants will cause heat pollutions, which leads to the destruction of marine ecology.  Temperature undersea is so overheated that creatures are dead.  Another reason is radiation leaks.  Because of the potential nuclear meltdowns, radiation leaks out and causes humans to get cancers and pregnant women to give birth to deformity babies.  Finally, nuclear waste store will occupy the space on small islands. Many people are protesting for this issue in order to have an unpolluted and healthy environment.  It is for all the above-mentioned reasons that I believe it appropriate to forbid the nuclear power generation and I suggest finding other natural resources for electric power.

  I am on the same page when it comes to that if students should wear school uniforms.  To begin with, dressed in uniforms, students can be easily recognized their identities.  The police can also track students' positions when they are wandering outside or committing errors.  Furthermore, they don’t have to worry about what sort of clothes they will wear today and tomorrow, which brings about the waste of time in choosing a variety of colorful clothes.  In addition, it reflects the good atmosphere in this school and keeps campus in order.  Students show their unanimity by wearing uniforms.  Finally, as people will be engaged in their work in the future,several large firms formulate their dress code; as a result, employees must follow their company’s regulations and put on uniforms.  Being a student, we can be familiar with the uniform's regulations in advance.  In light of all the points mentioned, one must conclude that it is appropriate to let students wear uniforms.

I'm seeking for a new English instructor for my school and I received two resumes from people applying for this job.  One of the applicants is Lynn Whitnall and the other is Debra Fines.  After perusing these resumes, perhaps I will choose Debra Fines to hire.  There are some reasons following.  First of all, compared Lynn Whitnall with Debra Fines in education, Debra is specialized in English whereas Lynn isn’t, who studies in Spanish only.  Second, Debra has over eighteen-year employment experience; however, Lynn has only fourteen years.  Consequently, Debra is more experienced than Lynn.  In addition, although Lynn has ability of the fluency in many languages, such as Spanish, French and Japanese, Debra has the superiority about this job because he is much professional in English.  Last, Lynn Whitnall doesn’t have any publication, but Debra Fines once published a book about English in 2006.  Above these wherefores are why I prefer employing Debra Fines to Lynn Whitnall.

  My friend and I are surfing the Internet to look for some information about student housing, and finally we find out two apartments suitable for us.  One is Fairfax Apartments and the other is CAMPUS APTS.  Each of them has so many qualities and preferential promotions that we have no immediate decision which one we will choose.  Therefore, we make some comparisons about the two apartments below:

  Fairfax Apartments has two large bedrooms, whereas CAMPUS APTS has only one.  The former has larger and more bedrooms than the latter.  Next, Fairfax Apartments offers air conditioners but CAMPUS APTS doesn’t.  Fairfax Apartments has house-furnished service.  On the other hand, CAMPUS APTS doesn’t provide furniture decoration.  In addition, CAMPUS APTS allows students who keep pets such as dogs and cats to live in its apartment, which is different from Fairfax Apartments.  Finally, the rental price of CAMPUS APTS is much cheaper than Fairfax Apartments.  Fairfax Apartments costs NT$1250 for rent. However, we will spend only NT$900 per month if living at CAMPUS APTS.  According to these comparisons above, perhaps we will choose Fairfax Apartments.  Although it is more expensive than CAMPUS APTS, it contains larger room space and complete facilities and it’s our ideal apartment.

  Shelly and Cherry, my two younger sisters, are one year old apart.  However, their appearances, characters and habits are similar.  First of all, they both have big eyes, long black hair, and slim figures.  Many people usually take them as twins.  Second, Cherry has the same interests as Shelly in reading, especially comic books and novels.  Shelly likes to play online games or watch cartoons on the websites, and so does Cherry.  Besides, Shelly as well as Cherry loves chatting with those who have the same common topics as they have.  They often get together and keep talking anytime and anywhere even when I am studying.  What is more, both of them are addicted to playing a trick on their youngest sister.  They regard that as a pastime.  Their characteristics are almost the same, and I usually mix up and even scarcely recognize who is Shelly and who is Cherry.

Comparing--(2) John Adams and Tomas Jefferson－revised

  There are several similarities between the two significant people, John Adams and Tomas Jefferson.  First of all, they died on the same date, July 4, 1826.  Second, they were both of central importance to the American Revolution.  Third, John Adams was a delegate to the Continental Congress, and Thomas Jefferson was, too.  Next, they once assumed signers of  Declaration of Independence.  In addition, John studied and practiced law,and so did Thomas.  Finally, the two people had ever occupied the President of United States.  John Adams and Tomas Jefferson have done so many the same things that I couldn't believe it is just a coincidence.
