Autobiography-final

Family Background

My name is Shih-Wei, Yao. There are four members in my family, including my parents, my elder brother and me. My father is an engineer on machinery. He works hard and responsibly. He goes to work in the early morning, and comes home late every day. Therefore, I don’t have many chances to get along with him. But when he is at home, he will teach us that haste makes waste. He hopes that we can think twice before we handle affairs. He doesn’t want to see us correct same error again and again. My mother is a hairdresser as well as housewife. She has to give consideration to us and her customers. Though it is tiring and often makes her exhausted, she never complains. My elder brother is a college student. He is the person who understands me most. Whenever he comes back, he always talks to me about his personal experiences. He is my best teacher. Although my family is not the most perfect one, but I am glad to grow up with my wonderful family members.

School Life

     I studied in Department of Applied Foreign Languages, National Tainan Commercial Vocational Senior High School (NTCVS). I’m glad that I choose this school and meet my teacher and my friends who are so kind and friendly to me. At first, I was not interested in English and my English ability was not very good. But with their help and recommendation, I found that English was not so boring as I had thought. Actually, it’s very interesting. In these three years, my English ability had improved a lot, including reading and oral speaking skills.

      Most impressed memory was that I voluntarily served as the assistant of my Chinese teacher. I often made some mistakes in the beginning, such as forgetting to bring the homework back and transmitting the wrong messages. I was so sad that I couldn’t do this work well; therefore, I wanted to quit the position of an assistant of Chinese teacher. With my teacher’s encouragement, I tried it again with confidence. I thank all of my classmates for tolerating my mistakes, and giving second chances to me. Now, I think that I am a conscientious assistant. I always carry a note to write down what the teacher says. Before the test, I will inform my classmates.  What a valuable experience.

Self-Evaluation

     Most of my friends will say that I am an easy-going, friendly, humorous person. But I think that my best advantage is enthusiasm. I will do my best to make things which catch my attention and interest me perfect.

     Being English major, enhancing my English ability is very important; therefore, I will read not only English magazines, such as Advanced and Studio classroom but also read some English novels. When I read books, I enjoy the incentive plot and absorb the beautiful sentences which I can use in the writing at the same time.

Future Perspectives

     During the next four years, I would like to choose English as my major in college. I think that my English ability is not good enough, especially my oral speaking and my writing skills. Therefore, I have a desire to be admitted to the National Kaohsiung First University of Science and Technology. I hope that I can have a great progress in my English communication ability. When I go abroad, I won’t talk to the foreigners in fear but with confidence. In the future, I would like to be an interpreter. Translating my favorite books is very interesting and worthy. In addition, I also want to study Japanese as my second language. Japanese comic books and novels have a great influence on me. One day, I would like to make a pilgrimage to Japan. If I can enter your school, I will study hard and make more efforts to sharpen my English.

I deeply believed in the motto “practice makes perfect.” The more I practice, the faster I can reach my goal.
