Example 1-Autobiography

My name is Hu Yu-Ming. I am studying in National Tainan Commercial Vocational School. There are six people in my family. My father is a worker. My mother is a housewife. My grandfather and grandmother live with us. I have a brother. Now let me introduce myself.

I live in Kuang-Tien where there is a small village with serene beauty. In my elementary school days, my classmates were almost all my neighbors. Playing hide-and-seek, skipping ropes, etc. were our activities. During my childhood, my life was colorful and happy. Before I graduated, my father asked me to take a private school entrance exam in order to go to a nice school. But my grades were not good enough. So I study in a common school.

When I studied in the junior high school, my grades were bad, especially in English. My teacher, Miss Chang, taught me how to study every subject. A year later, my grades got better except in English. One day, a new English teacher came to my school. I was lucky to be taught by her. My new English teacher, Miss Li, was an excellent teacher. During the class, she taught me how to learn English. My English grades became better and better from then on. Sometimes I made a mistake, I was not blamed. She always wanted me to face the problem and solved it. I felt she was a nice teacher in my Junior High School life.

After the Joint Entrance Examination of Senior High Schools, I didn’t get good grades. So I chose to enter a vocational school and majored in accounting. At first, everyone told me not to study accounting because it is hard to do it well, but I have confidence in myself. I’m so interested in accounting that I always got excellent grades. I think I make a right decision. I have decided that I will choose Accounting Department to major in the future. I must take my parents' advice in my mind that I choose what I love and love what I have chosen.
