School Life (Revised)

    I studied at Department of Applied Foreign Languages, National Tainan Commercial Vocational Senior High School (NTCVS).  Since I was a child, I have a big crush on English, and this is why I chose it as my major.  Not only did I pay close attention in class, but I also attend some English contests to improve my English ability.  For instance, I submitted two English compositions to our school’s magazine, and I attended MyET English tutor.  Furthermore, with an eye of examining my English ability, I took General English Proficiency Test for the intermediate level and the level 2 of English Ability Association, and I passed them.  Besides, I attained the preliminary test of the high-intermediate level of GEPT, including listening and reading in the 12th grade.  Apart from learning English, I have also studied Japanese in the cram school since I was a 10th grader student, and I also listened to Japanese songs and watched Japanese animation cartoons to enhance my Japanese listening ability in my free time.

 In addition to studying hard, I also learned a lot from serving as a class cadre member and joined in many activities.  I have ever served as class leader, vice class leader, assistant to Regulation of Practice & Counseling Division and assistant to English writing teacher in my class.  By being in charge of these positions, I got many precious experiences.  For example, I was extremely happy to be elected class leader of my class, but I was not capable of being a good class leader at the beginning of the semester, since I couldn’t handle everything very well such as expressing myself clearly as I announced something important to my classmates, and leading my classmates to discuss important issues and help them to reach a conclusion.  Yet, my teacher and friends helped me to undergo the tough moments; moreover, I learned step by step and did everything with all my might.  Finally, I made it to be a responsible leader, and the most valuable lesson I have learned is that if I want to please everyone, I would probably please no one.  Had it not been for the opportunity of being a class leader, my leadership ability could not have improved so much; also I wouldn’t grow and become more mature.  Leading a class was a little difficult for me at first, but I was glad that I learned so much from serving for my class.

Family Background ( Revised)

    My mane is Meng-Ting Tsai, and there are four people in my family.  My father, who is a salesman in a direct-account company, joins every activity in a positive attitude.  My father teaches me that doing everything with a positive attitude and never caring too much about the results is important but what I learn from the process, and that if I fail unfortunately, I can take it as an experience and do my best to carry out my goal next time.  My mother is a career woman, working in Cheng Kung University.  On every summer and winter vacation, I study in my mother’s office; therefore, I see that she works efficiently and interacts with the students well.  What I learn from my mother is that I have to make deliberate plan before I do everything so that I can finish efficiently.  I also have a younger brother, who is a junior high school student.  He is very naughty and always makes my mother angry.  But he is very smart and often makes art works at home; additionally, he often reads science magazines to get abundant knowledge.  His diligence to absorb  knowledge is what I can learn.  I’m lucky enough to live in a harmonious family.
