autobiography-sample two

     My name is Yang. I am 17 years old. My English name is Wendy. There are seven people in my family, and I am the second child among five. My father is the undertaker of a factory and my mother is a housewife. My sister is a university student, while my younger sisters and brothers are junior high school students. Luckily, I have a happy family with open-minded parents and have a life with affluent materials.
Since I was a kindergarten student, I enjoyed singing and dancing very much. Usually, I volunteered to perform in front of the class. I remember then, I liked to watch variety shows, and that’s how I learned to sing popular songs. Those singers and actors who perform in TV programs are my idols. Every time we hold the birthday celebration for my grandparents, it is me who have to imitate the singers in front of the relatives to amuse them. I felt entertaining people is such a great enjoyment.
Throughout my school time, I have been a regular student in study, but have excellent performance on various activities. Speech, painting, singing contests are my battlefield and the place for me to win my honor. Besides, I have wide range of hobbies. I enjoy reading novels, seeing movies, swimming, mountain hiking, roller-staking and overseas traveling. Also I join the badminton and drama clubs. I spend most of my time in the drama club after school, for every one of our club members has to undertake the role of both the performer and the staff. There are so many works to be done before a play is ready and all of our club members have to contribute ourselves what we are good at. While working with those vigorous and creative fellows I never feel tired or bored.
This summer, my drama club produces a play called ”Aladdin” as our graduation ceremony show. I played Aladdin’s mother, a comic role in the play with greedy and sarcastic characteristics. Because it was a musical, all the actors had to sing and dance at the same time. And thanks to the professional teachers who volunteered to instruct us, we even did the chorus during the play, which was a quartet with fantastic dancing. During the holidays we came to school doing rehearsals and made the costume and by this creative stage world that I stared to think very seriously that whether it was a dream for me to pursuit. My parents tell me to do what I want but not what I am expected to and this is why I decided to apply myself to the drama department.
I want to become a stage actress as other companies who have the same ideal.
To me, a play not only can offer people entertainment, but also in many times, it can provide people a different point of view toward lives. Compare to those with full trained skill, who come from a professional school, maybe I am far too idealistic and naive. I know nothing is easy and I think to be a drama department student would be a big challenge. I have learned a line from my English teacher that is, ”Not until you give it a try will you know the result.” I got passion and expectation to myself, wish you would give me a opportunity to make my dream come true.

Discussing Cause-2 (revised)

 There are several reasons why Mr. Williams’ business failed. First, the store’s position was not good because it was located next to the Fairfax Apartment Building which was on a small side street just outside of town. Thus, it was not easy for people to notice it. Besides, there were two large music stores that was three miles away from a shopping center. Therefore, many people would go to the two stores instead of Williams’. The second reason is the music style which Mr. Williams bought. Most of the CDs were hip-hop and rock, however, people who live in the Fairfax are almost at the age above 41. Hence, this kind of age group wouldn’t like such two music styles. Moreover, the pay that Mr. Williams paid his employees was too high. Eventually, he couldn’t afford it. The most important reason is that the time that the store opened was too short. Consequently, few people would walk past the store or even enter the store. For several reasons above, I suppose that Mr. Williams should think twice when he makes any decision.

Discussing Cause-1 (revised)

I’ve decided to accept a job for several reasons. First of all, I needn’t ask my mother to give me money anymore if I earn money on my own. In this way, my mother needn’t work so hard to support our family. Another reason is that I want to make good use of my time after I graduated from senior school. I won’t feel bored if I have my daily target. Moreover, I can use money I earn freely if I get the pay. I can buy whatever I want or even plan to take a trip to the countries where I want to visit. The reasons above are why I made this decision, and I hope it is the right one.

               Stanley Manufacturing decided to open a large factory in a small town, which is called Acton. Thus, this construction will lead to many sorts of negative effects on Acton. First of all, the quiet town will become noisy after the large factory opens because the factory will make lots of noise day and night. Also, the factory may release polluted water and foul gas. Both of them will harm those townsmen’s health if they live there for a long time. Third, the traffic will become a big trouble in the town every day because many people work for the large factory. Hence, people have to care about their safety when there is a traffic peak. Most importantly, the town will change very much once the factory opens. Many people, places and sceneries will change fast. In short, it will bring about many bad effects on the small town after the factory is built.

I oppose that people meet strangers through online dating sites for some reasons. First, there are many criminals seeking the children, especially teenagers, to chat with them and plan to cheat their money. Chatting with the children for several days, these criminals will take the opportunity to ask them for money. In general, many people would forget their common sense and give them money. Second, some criminals will ask them out, and when  they know each other well they will rape or even murder them. Out of curiosity, the children may promise to go out with them. Eventually, they not only lost their money, but put no trust in anyone. Due to all of the two reasons, one must conclude that we can’t be too careful to meet people on the Internet.

  I once lived in Taipei, and worked as a volunteer in a hospital. It really felt good to get the opportunities to help people. One morning an elderly woman with a bloody head was sent to the hospital by a stranger. Seeing the situation, I shuddered involuntarily and became worried.

Few minutes later, a nurse rushed out of the emergency room hastily and asked for anyone who is with blood type O in the hospital. However, there was no one who replied her asking. Suddenly, I found that I was the one with blood type O.

Due to being afraid of making an injection, I hesitated about making the decision to reply the nurse for her help. After a while, I decided to do it and then followed her to draw my blood.

After the operation, the woman was out of danger and knew that I saved her, telling me that she really thanked for my help. At that moment, I realized that I've done a right thing.
