Family Background
My name is Jing-yi Shao. Born in a family with a harmonious atmosphere, I have six members in my family, including my parents, my sister, my brother, and me. My father, a factory worker, works hard to support our family. Unfortunately, my father lost all of his right hand’s fingers when he was working, but he was not disappointed at all. Since I was little, my father has held a positive attitude toward everything and been humorous. Taking thisaccident for example, he wasn’t defeated by it and even made fun of his hand to let us feel relieved. Therefore, when facing obstacles, I tend to look on the bright side and try to deal with them. My mother is also a factory worker. She always asks us to study hard and esteems all my decisions. Thanks for what my mother did, I know that knowledge is important and become more independent. Maybe my family is not perfect in every aspect, but I am very content with what I have now. I love my family very much.
School Life
I am studying at Department of Applied Foreign Languages in National Tainan Commercial Vocational Senior High School
I have served as the class treasure, the hygiene leader, discipline leader and the PE class leader. For me, the most toilful cadre member was the hygiene leader. Some of my classmates were often late for school, so they couldn’t finish their cleaning work. I was always the first person that got to the cleaning place and the last one that left the cleaning place. But I thought it is my duty and I was still grateful that all of them were willing to cooperate with me. At the end of that semester, I received a lot of thank-you cards from my classmates. They all wrote that I was very responsible and thanked for my effort. I was also one of the best cadre members. I was not sure that I really deserved so much praise, but I was very happy for both being this cadre member and for those compliments.
Although majoring in English, my English was not very good at first, I believe that the harder I study, the better I would be. By working hard, my English capability has improved a lot and also passed the elementary level of the General English Proficiency Test. After that, I took the intermediate level of GEPT. I passed the listening and reading tests, but I didn’t pass the oral test. I knew my English ability still left something to be desired. Eventually, in this November, I will take the oral test again and I think I will pass it if I keep practicing my English skills.
Self - Evaluation
I am a warm-hearted, optimistic and outgoing girl. I always teach my classmates Math or English; in addition, when facing difficulties, I tend to look on the bright side and try to deal with them. Wherever and whenever you see me, I always smile; therefore, I have a good interpersonal relationship at school. Even though there is a big challenge for me or there are a lot of things to do, I finish all of them in a pleasant mood and seldom complain. Imperceptibly, “Take things as they come.” has become my motto; I hope that I can keep holding such a healthy attitude toward each challenge.
Besides schoolwork, I also participate in many activities or learn something that interests me. For example, I am interested in playing badminton because my father masters it, so I joined the badminton club in the first year from my high school. There, I not only learned the rules which I hadn’t know before but made a lot of friends. Apart from badminton, I also started learning to play volleyball. At first, I did not have any interest in it, but I gradually found that it is interesting. I like the atmosphere when playing volleyball with the classmates and it also has become one of the essential parts in my high school life.
Future Perspectives
Being one of the greatest technical and vocational education institutions, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology is my ideal university I have been longing for. I will still choose English as my major in college and I think I need further training in all aspects of English skills, especially my oral speaking and listening skills; the Department of Foreign Language of yours offers exactly the courses I need. Although I’m still not sure about my future career, I will equip myself with professional English skills during the four years in college and explore where my interest is and what I can do in the future.
Conclusion
As for my future study plans, I’ll keep sharpening my English essential skills, especially in speaking. I hope one day I can communicate with foreigners naturally and make eye contact to them. Besides English, I’ll also enhance knowledge in Japanese and hospitality and travel in order to enlarge my cognition. Above are all the motivations I have and really hope that I can be admitted to this university. In the space of four years, I will do my best to achieve my goals, making progress step by step.
