school life

I am studying at Department of Applied Foreign Languages in National Tainan Commercial Vocational Senior High School.  English is my favorite subject; therefore, I choose English as my major.  I develop a passion for English.  Even I always get into trouble while studying English; I still try hard to conquer my shortcomings. 
Besides, I had been the class English assistant for one year and I had learned a lot from how to be a responsible English assistant. I liked to discuss and share the experience of learning English with my classmates. We often read magazine then discussed its contents. Although we found it’s hard to understand the content, we encouraged each other not to give up.    
 Besides English, I also have a wide range of hobbies. I have been very active in school activities. I took part in volleyball and basketball competition.  We won the second place and third place respectively. I love reading, writing, music and movies.  As to my personality, I am creative, optimistic, determined, willing to help others.
During my high school life, I served as a vice class leader for one semester. I have to help class leader and teacher and sometimes I have to deal with some students' chores.  I took the General English Proficiency Test and passed the elementary level.  After that, I took the intermediate level of GEPT.

Family Background

I am the only child in my family, so I would train myself to be more independent. My father is a  always tell me that we should do everything with all my efforts for fear of regreting. Whenever I get into trouble, I will relentlessly ask myself  if I do my best. If not, and I would try to solve the  problem again.  My mother is a gentle and  kind-hearted person, and she has taught me a lot of methods about  how to get along with other people.  Besides, she certainly has great influence on me, and I always look up to her. His passion and dedication to family are the best things she gives me. She never forces me to do anything I don't like to do. She gives me much freedom of choice. That's why I can develop my hobbies on my own.
