Future Perspectives -revised

     I hope I can be admitted to National Kaohsiung First University of Science and Technology in the future.I will choose English as my major after I enter the university. Although I pass some English proficiency tests, I think my English ability can be better. I want to be admitted to your school because there are great teachers, complete education courses, and a good studying environment in your college. If I can be one of your college students, I will make more efforts to sharpen my English ability. For example, I read English novels and magazines. Furthermore, I like to listen to English songs so that I can learn more vocabulary. These activities can help me improve my English.

     I feel like being an English teacher. By studying in your college, I can learn more about English. Most important of all, you offer good courses that can let me know how to be an English teacher and be a good English teacher. This is what I need. I really hope I can enter your school.

Self-Evaluation -revised

      I’m a warmhearted and friendly girl. I’m always willing to help people because helping people makes me happy. If I can do something to help other people in the world, I will be ready to do so. It’s because I have received a lot of help from my friends, my relatives, and even strangers. I really thank for those people who helped me. I like to see the smile on people’s face due to my help. I do everything carefully so that I can get a good outcome. Furthermore, I do my best to finish everything. I have a positive attitude toward my life. I always look on the bright of my life and smile to everyone. I believe that if I smile to others, they may be infected with my smile. As for my hobbies, I like to listen to music and go out with my friends. By listening to music, I can relax myself from the stress of school. Besides, I love to listen to English songs and repeat what the singer sings so I enhance my English ability a lot by this way. Going out with friends is wonderful for me. Sometimes my friend and I study together in the library, and sometimes we go out and share something in our daily life. We are not only good friends but also good competitors in studies. By this way, I have a motive to study harder.

School life -revised

      After I graduated from junior high school, I studied at Department of Applied Foreign Languages, National Tainan Commercial Vocational Senior High School (NTCVS). I was pleasant to enter this school to let my English be improved a lot. That is, I believed that I could learn lots of knowledge about English here. When I was a freshman, I took notes so hard in class so that I could increase my vocabulary very soon. Afterwards, I took notes of key points. Due to this way, I can understand every setences of textbook fast. I was so lucky to have many kind classmates. I knew not everything was finished by my own because something needed teamwork. As a result, I learned to cooperate with others. Every time I have problems, I always turned to them and they were always willing to give me a hand. Besides, I thought each teacher was very hard-working. They offered not only knowledge of textbooks but also more information that we couldn’t get in school to us. I learned a lot from school.  To sum up, I really appreciated the people who have been to help me while I was in senior high school.



     I studied in English very hard, and English is my major subject. I was interested in English as I was an elementary school student. I like to listen to English songs to enhance my listening in English. In addition, I was touch with English magazines after I studied in senior high school. By reading magazines, I found my reading ability and vocabulary were better. When I was a freshman, I took the General English Proficiency Test and passed the elementary level. Afterwards, I took the intermediate level of GEPT. Fortunately, I passed it. Having studied in English for three years, my English ability strengthened a lot. I learned a lot in the school. Above all, everything here was my precious memory.

Family background -revised

The baby called Chiao Feng Chao was born in Tainan in 1994. That is me. I have a sweet and harmonious family. My father is just a worker, but I learn lots of thing from him. He teaches me that I have to put the thing back after I use it. Besides, he lets me understand that I should think twice before I act. He is a good father for me. My mother is a worker, too. Like my friend, she always gives me advice when I have problems. Also, she encourages me to do what I want to do and tells me that I have to do things carefully. The most important thing she teaches me is that never give up! I appreciate my mom because she can deal with everything calmly and does the right thing at the right time. I have a elder sister with close relationship. She is a nurse who works hard. When I have difficulties, I always turn to her. She is not only my sister but also my confidant. I also have a brother ,who is a undergraduate. He has played with me since we were a little girl and a little boy. He is a nice person and he always finishes what he has to do on time. This is my family. I love it very much.

autobiography-sample one

     My name is Yang. I am 17 years old. My English name is Wendy. There are seven people in my family, and I am the second child among five. My father is the undertaker of a factory and my mother is a housewife. My sister is a university student, while my younger sisters and brothers are junior high school students. Luckily, I have a happy family with open-minded parents and have a life with affluent materials.
     Since I was a kindergarten student, I enjoyed singing and dancing very much. Usually, I volunteered to perform in front of the class. I remember then, I liked to watch variety shows, and that’s how I learned to sing popular songs. Those singers and actors who perform in TV programs are my idols. Every time we hold the birthday celebration for my grandparents, it is me who have to imitate the singers in front of the relatives to amuse them. I felt entertaining people is such a great enjoyment.
     Throughout my school time, I have been a regular student in study, but have excellent performance on various activities. Speech, painting, singing contests are my battlefield and the place for me to win my honor. Besides, I have wide range of hobbies. I enjoy reading novels, seeing movies, swimming, mountain hiking, roller-staking and overseas traveling. Also I join the badminton and drama clubs. I spend most of my time in the drama club after school, for every one of our club members has to undertake the role of both the performer and the staff.There are so many works to be done before a play is ready and all of our club members have to contribute ourselves what we are good at. While working with those vigorous and creative fellows I never feel tired or bored.
     This summer, my drama club produces a play called ”Aladdin” as our graduation ceremony show. I played Aladdin’s mother, a comic role in the play with greedy and sarcastic characteristics. Because it was a musical, all the actors had to sing and dance at the same time. And thanks to the professional teachers who volunteered to instruct us, we even did the chorus during the play, which was a quartet with fantastic dancing. During the holidays we came to school doing rehearsals and made the costume and by this creative stage world that I stared to think very seriously that whether it was a dream for me to pursuit. My parents tell me to do what I want but not what I am expected to and this is why I decided to apply myself to the drama department.
     I want to become a stage actress as other companies who have the same ideal.
     To me, a play not only can offer people entertainment, but also in many times, it can provide people a different point of view toward lives. Compare to those with full trained skill, who come from a professional school, maybe I am far too idealistic and naive. I know nothing is easy and I think to be a drama department student would be a big challenge. I have learned a line from my English teacher that is, ”Not until you give it a try will you know the result.” I got passion and expectation to myself, wish you would give me a opportunity to make my dream come true.

     Many people around the world ingest too much caffeine by drinking beverage every day, but they don’t know it may do them harm. In fact, there is much caffeine in various kinds of drinks. As far as I am concerned, I think moderate caffeine is good, but too much caffeine would do people harm. First of all, it may cause some physical problems, such as insomnia, nervousness, anxiety, headache, and so on. Furthermore, it may result in nausea or other gastrointestinal problems. That is, maybe those who absorb too much caffeine may want to throw up or have a stomachache. If we have too much caffeine in our body, we will have muscle tremors. According to these reasons, I suggest that people think twice before they drink beverage which contains caffeine. We should protect ourselves from being hurt by caffeine.

I found a job and I had a chance to interview the manager. After talking to the manager, I went home and I discussed the problem whether I should accept this job or not with my parents. This was my first job, so I considered this problem carefully and I decided to adopt this job for some reasons after discussing with my parents.
First of all, I have not been a student since I graduated from school. Afterward, I had to raise myself rather than depend on my parents. Moreover, if I made money by myself, I would be able to buy more expensive goods. That is, I must have money so that I could buy what I wanted. Additionally, I was satisfied with the salary of this job and I didn’t have to wear uniform to work. Most important of all, my parents had become older and older and they can't work in the future. Thus, I wanted to reduce their financial burden, so I need to get a job to earn money. In addition, I wanted to save some money so that I could take advantage of money to let my family go abroad. Thanks to my parents for bringing me up. Finally, I took the job and I worked very hard. I hope that I can earn a lot of money as soon as possible.

     My uncle decided to open a large factory in Acton and he told me this thing. I told him that I had an idea about his decision. As far as I am concerned, I disagreed with this decision for some reasons. One of the reasons was pollution. Although some people considered it a good idea to give opportunities of jobs to residents, I thought that establishing a factory may result in polluted water, harmful air, and industrial noise. These factors had influences on humans’ body. For example, if people breathed dirty air, their health would go from bad to worse gradually. Furthermore, industrial noise could bring about the impact on hearing of people; even it could turn out be hearing impaired. Another reason was the traffic problem. Because of jobs, the town might be crowded by the people’s cars and people. For the reasons above, I objected to this decision. Finally, my uncle didn't establish a factory in Acton after he found another new place which was better to build his factory.

     Michael Williams opened a small music store selling compact discs on September 5, but he closed his shop about one month later. His shop operated not so well, so he was forced to shut it up. Here were some reasons for why he couldn't run his business.
     First of all, the shop's location was 3 miles away from a shopping center that had two large music stores. A large music store could provide customers with many kinds of music while a small music shop only can launch a few kinds of music to clients. Moreover, most of the people living in Fairfax Apartment were at the age of more than forty;these people tend to listen to lyric music rather than hip-hop or rock. Another reason was that  the shop's opening time.The shop only opened from Monday to Friday at 1 to 5 P.M. and people had to work during the week except for Saturday and Sunday, so they would go shopping on the weekend instead of weekdays. That is, customers may not go shopping in the Michael Williams's store during the opening time of the store. If the shopkeeper wanted to make money, he/she should open the store on the weekend.  Last but not the least, that Mr.Willians would not accept checks or credit cards could cause clients to reduce their desires to go into the store and purchase the goods.

Expressing an opinion-2 revised1

     Every year, a lot of animals are taken to use in laboratory experiments, especially on small mice. For pursuing the progress, people have experiments on small animals. I’m against this way because every creature has authority to survive.I think experts should not expropriate animals' life of surviving just for the  experiments because nobody can take away others’ lives. Moreover, People are creatures and animals are creatures as well. Why can people experiment on animals for some demands? Maybe some experts say that they are necessaries, but lives are precious. We never consider the feeling of the animals experimented on.For these reasons, I think that maybe experts can reduce experiments on animals if they have to carry out experiments. Death is nature, buy everybody should respect authority of creatures’ surviving. Lives are most valuable on earth, so I hope that experts can stop conducting experiments on animals.

     Many students have to wear uniforms to school every day,and a lot of students don’t like to do that because they think wearing sport clothing is more comfortable. Even they are not fond of the design on the uniform. On the contrary, parents think it good for children to wear uniform as they think children may have self-control if they do that. I agree that students wear uniforms to school. Dressed in uniform means discipline. Moreover, those who are dressed in uniform will pay attention to their behavior. I consider that wearing uniform is a better way to confine students’ bad deeds. I agree to dress in uniform to school. Besides, we can prevent people we don’t know from entering the school if students dress themselves in uniform. Although lots of students hate to wear uniform, dressing in uniform is what students have to do. Change the ideas and let students wear what they want, and students will feel better.

     There are two people sent resumes to apply for a new English instructor in my friend's school and my friend ask me for which person that he should choose to hire.I tell him that I think Debra Fines is fit to this job because of several reasons. One of the reasons is that Debra has more education than Lynn. It means that Debra has more knowledge to support his teaching. Another reason is that Debra varies in his teaching experience while Lynn has less teaching experience. Debra has been a consultant and author, an instructor, a teaching assistant, and a swimming teacher. However, Lynn has just been a Spanish teacher, an English teacher, and a peace crops volunteer. Moreover, Debra has gone to three universities for studying, but Lynn only has studying in one college. Although Debra doesn’t reap any reward like Lynn does, his resume proved that he was qualified to assume the position. If I were my friend, I would choose Debra rather than Lynn.

     Of all the sports, I like swimming and hiking best and they are similar in some ways. First of all, swimming is as healthy as hiking. Next, swimming can promote metabolism; hiking can promote metabolism as well. Furthermore, both of them  can help me consume calories and they are helpful to lose weight. Most important of all, swimming doesn’t need any implement on hand. Likewise, I don’t have any implement on hand while I go hiking. Besides, I can go swimming or go hiking whenever I want to do exercise. To sum up, there are some similarities between swimming and hiking. Swimming and hiking are good ways to let our body become healthier.

     I find that two historic men were alike in several ways. Both of them died on July 4, 1826 but they were born on different day. One of the men was John Adams, who was an important person in the American Revolution. Similarly, the other person was Thomas Jefferson and he was important in the American Revolution. They have studied and practiced law. John Adams had been the President of United States as well as Thomas Jefferson, but John Adams was the second President and Thomas Jefferson was the third President. The former was as a signer of Declaration of Independence as the latter, and the latter was the author of Declaration of Independence as well. John Adams had been delegated to the Continental Congress, which Thomas Jefferson was alike . They were some different. The former was the father of the sixth U.S. president-John Quincy Adams; however, the latter was the foreign minister to France and he founded University of Virginia. He was also philosopher, architect, and inventor. Although they were some difference and some identical ways, they are the important people in history.

     An interesting thing I find is that there are two shirts and both of them are alike. One of the shirts is in the Lourie’s store and the other one is in the Green’s house. The former is machine washable and cotton blend. Likewise, the latter is machine washable and cotton blend. The size of former ranges from 4 to14, which is similar to the latter. And then they have the same color. To my surprise, not only the shirt of Lourie’s but also the shirt of Green’s costs $34.99. They are both the same except of the origin. This is a special thing that I have ever seen.

     My friend and I are looking for a department to live in. One day, I found two advertisements on the Internet. After discussing, we would choose Fairfax Apartments rather than Campus Apts for some reasons. First of all, there are two large bedrooms so that I need not to share a room with my friend. Next, the former is furnished, but the latter is unfurnished. Most important of all, I can live with an air conditioner if I choose Fairfax Apartments. Besides, no pet allowed is good for me because I need a quiet environment to let me focus on my studying. Although the price of Fairfax Apartments is higher than Campus Apts, I can share the rent with my roommate, so it doesn’t matter to me. I hope I can live in Fairfax Apartments.

     I think Debra Fines can be fit to this job because of several reasons. One of the reasons is that Debra has more education than Lynn. It means that Debra has more knowledge to support his teaching. Another reason is that Debra varies in his teaching experience while Lynn has less teaching experience. Debra has been a consultant and author, an instructor, a teaching assistant, and a swimming teacher. However, Lynn has just been a Spanish teacher, an English teacher, and a peace crops volunteer. Moreover, Debra has gone to three universities for studying, but Lynn only has studying in one college. Although Debra doesn’t reap any reward like Lynn does, his resume proved that he is qualified to assume the position. If I am the boss, I will prefer Debra to Lynn.

I don't like rainy days. -revised1

     I like cloudy days, sunny days, and windy days, except for rainy days. It’s because I have to wear a raincoat or carry an umbrella with me if it should rain. I hate to do so. Rainy days prevent me from donig outdoor activities so it is out of the question for me to like the rainy days. I remembered that I rode a bike to my friend’s house and it rained cats and dogs on the way to my destination two months ago. I didn’t have a raincoat so all my clothes got wet because of rain. After I reached the house of my friend's, Peggy,she lent me her shirt and pants. The day was not my day! I’m in a bad mood only when it is a rainy day. I hate to get wet especially in rainy days. Doing everything in a sunny day makes me happy, but doing what I want to do makes me annoyed in a rainy day. Rainy days are the last things that I would like! If I can choose, I hope that every day is a sunny day in stead of a rainy day.

Describing a Process-(4) how to reduce stress-revised1

Everyone is under the stress from each kind of aspects and I’m no exception. How to relieve our stress is of central importance. Every time I’m in a bad mood, I watch TV or listen to the music to relax. I’m a student and I have some pressure from my schoolwork; I face the exams every day. After I arrive home, the first thing I do is take a shower because it can help me feel well. Afterward, I go to my bedroom, turn on my radio, and lie in my bed. I can find my pressure gradually vanishing when I enjoy listening to music. This is the best way for me to ease off the stress. I think everybody has his/her own way to alleviate the pressure. Healthy body lies in healthy heart so we should make ourselves healthier.  Do you often feel annoyed? I think you have to find ways to let your stress be relieved.

When I took off my pants, something was out of my pants. It was the half of the cockroach's body! I was too frightened to continue my action. Finally, I washed my body thoroughly and I tried to forget this thing. This was the worst day for me.

A Dream I Have Had-revised1

      A dream that I have had was that my family drove on the highway. Suddenly, our car shook a bit and then we thought something must be wrong, but we didn’t know what the thing was. We decided to look up and afterward we found a monster was on our car and it tried to attack our car! I felt scared. My father decided to climb out of the car to fight with the monster.He did it but I came up with that he was the driver of the car! If he left, who would control the car? Strangely to say, someone control the car after my father left and the person was me! I couldn’t believe that I can drive before I was eighteen years old. I  had no choice because my father was fighting with the monster. For a while, I heard a loud sound and I learned that my father won! The monster died. Finally, everything was fine as if nothing had happened and we continued our trip. I woke up and I felt so strange that I could remember my dream clearly.
