My name is Lin, Er-ya. There are three members in my family. My father is a worker at a company in Tainan. He is a cautious person, and he is a man of his word. I learn from him that I have to treat other people cordial and be a responsible person. My mother is a career woman. She works at a department store in Tainan. Since I had been a little child, she taught me that it’s all right if I do something wrong, but the most important thing is that I have to admit my mistake honestly and correct it. Moreover, I’m born in a double-income family and I don’t have any brother or sister, so I learn to be independent at an early age. As to my schoolwork, my parents never put too much pressure on me. They just hope that I can try my best in my studies. Therefore, in the process of learning, I can develop freely and find my interests.
I study at Applied Foreign Language in National Tainan Commercial Vocational Senior High School. My classmates and teachers are nice so I have a wonderful high school life. Since I have majored in English, I have to memorize English vocabulary and English sentences every day. Though sometimes I have a lot of homework to do and feel very tired, I still can find pleasure in it.
In addition to the textbooks, I also read English magazines or listen to English songs to improve my English ability. Moreover, our teacher often encourages us to practice English with each other; therefore, we make a good progress in speaking English. With her encouragement, many of my classmates and I had passed the intermediate level of General English Proficiency Test. Now, I'm going to try the higher level of GEPT. To reach the goal, I will study harder.
Though we have to study all day long, we have many activities in the school. The major one is intramural ball games. To win the game, we practice volleyball after school every day. Notwithstanding we didn't play very well at first, we never give up. By keeping practicing, now we play better than we did a year ago and even won the second prize in the intramural ball games. Besides, I also learn one thing from the process that no matter what we do, we shouldn't give up easily, and the way to reach our goal is just to try our best.
I like my high school life very much, and most important of all, I really enjoy the time studying and playing with my classmates. I think I will remember these happy days even I graduate from high school.

I am an optimistic girl who always looks on the bright side. Nevertheless, I was shy when I was a little girl. I think that it is because I am the only child in my family and there is no one I can talk to except for my parents, so I seldom interacted with others on my own initiative; but , I become more and more active with age. Though I still feel a little uneasy when I come to a new environment, I am livelier now than I used to be.
As to my hobbies, I usually read novels or listen to music after I finish my homework. Moreover, I can learn some English vocabulary when I listen to English songs or read English novels. What’s more, since my father often took me to play basketball or went jogging when I was an elementary school student, doing exercise has also been one of my hobbies. And I usually play volleyball, basketball or go jogging with my classmates after school. In addition, my junior high school teacher said, “Though it is important to study hard, we can’t study all the time without proper rest.” So, I balance my study time and my leisure time and it is also the way I release my pressure.
When it comes to my attitude toward life, I think that whatever I do, I should carry out an undertaking from start to finish and never give up easily. Moreover, I believe that there is nothing that can’t be solved, which is also related to my maxim “Never give up.” As the proverb goes, “No pains, no gains.” After all, the way to reach my goal is just to try hard.
In the future, I hope that I can enter Department of Applied Foreign Languages in National Taiwan University of Science and Technology. With professional teachers and good equipments there, I think that they will help me to learn English well. Moreover, if I study in such a competitory environment, I will make good progress in studying English. Once my English ability improves, I can get a job more easily because I can communicate with foreign customers of the company’s without any interpreter. Hence, to reach my goal, I will try my best and I hope that I can be admitted to the university.
Conclusion
I hope that you will consider me a qualified student to enter your college after you read my autobiography. Moreover, I will study harder to sharpen my English ability as well as to learn some knowledge of business during the four years in college. Thank you for spending time reading my application packet.
