School Life

     

      I studied at Department of Applied Foreign Languages in National Tainan Commercial Vocational Senior High School (NTCVS). I am glad that I can enter this school. I made a lot of good friends who are very active. I felt happy and interested in school every day. I took part in many sport contests which was held by the school. When a contest was coming, my classmates who participated in the contest and I practiced hard every Saturday. Due to our efforts, we usually got a prize. From these contests, not only can it promote the relationship among my classmates, but also we can enhance our teamwork.

When I entered the school, I didn’t have any certificate. But now, with the help of the teacher and my own efforts, I have five different certificates, such as level 3 of the test of English Ability Association, General English Proficiency Test (GEPT) for the elementary, class C skill category of Computer Software Application, and so on. Though I don’t have many certificates now, I will continue to study hard and receive more certificates. In addition, when I watched America movies, I often attempted to listen to their conversation without seeing Chinese captions. Our teacher also encouraged us to read more English magazines and listened to English music. Therefore, I have enhanced my English ability in NTCVS.

    In my class, I worked as a cleaning crew leader, discipline leader, and class treasurer in turn. At first, I didn’t know what I should do when my classmates didn’t obey my orders. Gradually, I attempted to use many ways to make them obedient to me. From these positions, I learned the ability of problem solving. I’m glad that I can acquire a lot of experiences during my high school life.

Family Background

My name is Chen Tin-An. There are five members in my family. My parents manage a hairdressing salon. From their diligence, I deeply grasp that it is not easy to earn money. When I was a child, my parents always told me “when you do everything, you must have confidence in yourself.” Gradually, I develop independent personality in order not to increase my parents’ burden. My elder brother is college student. He has done many part-time jobs, and always shares his work experience with us. He let me know that I should grasp the opportunity positively. My elder sister is also a college student. When I have any problem, I always talks to her. She often gives me some great suggestions. I am pleased that I have lovely family.
