Autobiography - final

Family Background
  

     My name is Guo-Wen Zeng, coming from Tainan.  I have five members in my family.  My father is a business manager in a company about glass industry and my mother is a housewife.  Both of my parents are democratic.  As long as things or problems that I have capability to solve, they always let me make my own master.  Because of the way they teach me, I become more independent than those who are of my age.  As for my elder sister, who majors in accounting, always tells me to be responsible for the thing I promised. Her motto is “The person who doesn’t keep his word will never become an adult.”  In my family, my brother and I are the youngest children because we are twins.  On account of him, my childhood is very happy for we always do things together.  For example, we usually play basketball together and he will teach how to play basketball well.  And sometimes I will teach him about English.  He is not only my brother but also my good friend.   I’m really satisfied with what I have now.  Because of them, I become a positive and energetic person.

School life
  

      I studied at Tainan National Commercial Vocational Senior High School (NTCVS) and majored in foreign languages.  Since I was a little girl, I had liked to read other countries’ cultures and histories that was the reason why I chose foreign languages as my major.  Recalling the first time when I went to school, I thought learning other countries’ languages would be easy and interesting.  However, I was totally wrong. To my surprised, there were so many things to learn such as vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation and so on.  We always had to read English magazines.  Sometimes, it really drove me crazy particularly when I couldn’t pronounce the sounds like /e/ or /ð/.  Nevertheless, my English teacher often encourages me and said “Don’t give up so easily, opportunity favors the prepared mind.” On account of these words, I became harder to study English and more positive when I faced difficulties.  During the past three years, I really learned a lot.  I learned how to use the right grammar to write English articles, how to speak English fluently without stutter and how to pronounce perfectly. 

       I went to attend the GEPT test and passed the elementary and intermediate levels.  I also passed Computer application software certification beginner level(電腦軟體應用丙級).  Besides, I attended the English story-telling competition which was held by the school.  Due to our teamwork and teacher’s help, we won the first prize!  Though, we didn’t enter the national contest, it was still a good experience. 

      During the years in NTCVS, I served as the class leader and the vice class leader.  On account of these experiences, I learned how to get along well with others and how to deal with things perfectly.  For example, when I was the class leader in the first years in NTCVS, there was an English song competition.  At first, everyone had many opinions; therefore, we made lots of versions.  However, their ideas became more and more complex and dissident.  Consequently, I tried to do my best to gather everyone’s idea and mixed it.  Fortunately, all of my classmates were satisfied with my arrangement.  Furthermore, because of our hard-working, we got the second prize and all of us felt happy for it.  Owing to this experience, I learned about teamwork and the way to solve the difficult problems.  Tough it was tired to be a leader in the class, I was glad to have to serve for my classmates and learn something from it.

      Apart from studying and learning, I also joined the clubs.  I had joined the ABC club for two years.  It was a club about learning English.  I usually practiced vocabularies with my club mates and sometimes we would see some English movies or listen to some English songs to improve our English listening and oral skills. We also shared our experiences when we studied English.  My English abilities were showing rapidly progress because all people who loved English were in this club and we would not feel embarrassed when we spoke in English.  I attended drama club at the last year in NTCVS. For the reason why I joined the drama club was that although the abilities in English were important, speaking English fluently and confidently were important, too.  Hence, I went to the drama club to train self-confident.  We would play many different roles in different dramas and spoke lines in different tones.  Most importantly, we had to show our performances on the stage.  After all of these trainings, now, I can speak English and do performances on the stage without any fright or scare.

      I really appreciate all my teachers and classmates’ helps.  Because of them, I go through many interesting experiences that I will never forget.

Self - Evaluation

      I am an optimistic and energetic person.  When I face difficulties, I always look things on the bright side and never give up easily.  For example, when I can’t figure out answers of English questions, I will ask my teachers, my classmates, or even the English teachers at my elder sister’s work place for help.  Therefore, I always say “Relax! There must have the way to deal with the problem!”  What is more, I am also good at encouraging  people around me and advise them be more positive, everything will be fine!  For instance,  wheareas my friends are in the bad mood because of the bad grades, I will encourage and tell them that they will have better grades next time!   Just as my mother and my classmates always say to me “You’re so sanguine of everything!”

      Except for studying English, I still have much free time to do my hobbies.  And my favorite thing is to play basketball or volleyball on weekends.  However, the reason why I like to play basketball is my twin brother.  He is a great basketball player and when he went out and played basketball with his classmates, I always followed him.  Therefore, I started to play basketball with my brother when I was an elementary school student.  After entering NTCVS, I began to get in touch with volleyball.  Due to my seniors’ training and my efforts, now I become a pretty good volleyball player.

      When it comes to living attitude, I hope to become a “LOHAS” who eat healthy food instead of junk food, wearing simple clothes without too many decorations, loving nature and will reduce waste of natural resources and pollution and so on.  However, I still work on it, since it is not easy to get rid of the bad habits that have been done for many years.  Nevertheless, I’m looking forward to the day when I become a real “LOHAS”.  By becoming the person like that, I hope I can try my utmost to protect the earth from trash and pollution.

Future Perspective

       
       I hope to enter the National Taipei University of Technology, and I will keep choosing English as my major because I want to learn more things what are associated with other countries.  In the space of four years, I will take English-related courses, and hope that I have a chance to go overseas study in the future.   In addition to English, I will start to learn another language such as Japanese, French etc and get certificates.  I pursue to become a hotel butler who is going to help customers to take care of their daily life one day.  Therefore, I will go to take a part time job to accumulate my experiences to serve others.  To sum up, I hope I can advance my language abilities and learn how to deal with problems in proper ways and I’m sure I will make it for I believe in “Where there is a will, there is a way.”

Conclusion

  
   On account of all my teachers', friends' and families' support, I become braver to face all difficulties in the future.  Therefore, I hope to be admitted to your school so that I can have more chances to accumulate my experiences and learn something new.  And when I start my work career, I will remember the happy memories from school life and make good use of my abilities what I learned from the college.
