School Life

  I study at National Tainan Commercial Vocational Senior High School and major in Applied Foreign Language. Here, my classmates and teachers are nice so I have a wonderful high school life. Since I major 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 and we make a good progress in it. 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 next 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.

  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.

Family Background

  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 was a little child, she taught me that it’s all right if I do something wrong, 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.
