School Life - Revised

     I studied at Department of Applied Foreign Languages in National Tainan Commercial Vocational Senior High School (NTCVS).  When I was a junior high school student, I was confident of my English ability, and yet, my mindset had changed a lot since I turned into a senior high school student.  As a high school student, I learned that the more I study, the better I will realize how much I still leave to be desired.  As a consequence, I did my utmost to be a studious learner, and examined my English ability in several tests, such as General English Proficiency Test (GEPT) for the intermediate level, Level 2 of the test of English ability Association, and an online oral contest called my English Tutor (my ET), etc.

     Apart from the certificates I attained, what I had learned from the tests was also important.  Actually, not only my English reading ability was improved to some extent, but I also learned a lot of experience of test skills.  Moreover, my oral speaking ability in English was improving through my ET as well.  Nevertheless, in addition to my ET, the listening and speaking course at school once every week is also a good opportunity to help me master speaking English.  With various chances to practice speaking English to everyone onstage, I also have the guts to talk over everything with my peers now.

     As for clubs, I have been in the school novel writing and studying club since I was a freshman.  For my interest in writing and reading novel, I have never changed my club since then.  Partaking in this club not only helped me keep in touch with popular novels, but I can also compose my works and discussed them with the associators of the club.  What’s more, I even issued my novel on club’s publications; that was such a special experience that I would never let it slip my mind.
