autobiography-sample one

  My name is Fang. I am now 17 years old. I have an English name called Matthew. I am studying in a private high school. There are five people in my family officer and my mother is a housewife. Both of my younger brother and sister are studying in junior high school. You might think that my family is a traditional and stern one because of my father. However, it’s the opposite. My father is an open-minded person full of sense of humor. I must say I am lucky to have such a happy family.
My father certainly have great influence on me, I always look up to him. His passion and dedication to his job and family are the best things us. He never forces us to do anything we don’t like. He gives us freedom of choice. That’s why I can join so many school activities and have the chance to develop my hobbies.
I have been very active. I am one of the computer freaks who just can’t take my eyes away from the computer screen. My friends know I am good in computer, so as their computers have troubles, they would come to me. I am also a picture in school baseball team. Our team has won many, many matches thus we gained an honorable title of ”unbeatable” team “I believe this is resulted from our constant practice, hard work and our strong team spirit.
Although computer and baseball take up most of my leisure time, I manage to use some spare time to play electronic guitar in a band. I use computer to make a lot of our songs into MIDI flies and send them forward to many friends. My friends love them and think it’s awesome. To be able to combine my knowledge of computer and music is my proudest thing. Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t neglect my study. Unless my grades in school is OK, otherwise my parents won’t let me go all these.
I have been interested in computer since I was an elementary school student. That was the time Father had this big computer on his desk. Every time I was father’s absorbed face while using the computer, I developed this kind of admiration to it. I said to myself “I want to be like that one day.”
I liked to play around with my dad’s computer. One day I accidentally deleted one of my dad’s important files, I was very scared that my father would be furious with me. However it was not the case, my father gave me a gift instead of punishment. I was so surprised. Guess what? Yes, I got anew computer. Ever since then I have been addicted to computers, especially after the emerging of the Internet. Surfing the net has been one of my greatest hobbies.
The e-Commerce has changed our traditional form of life style. Take myself for example: I keep in touch with my friends through e-mail: I send my greetings through e-card; I buy books from e-book; I shop from many websites and I search information from the search engines.
Not to mention the importance of the e-era has brought most powerful reform to the business world banks and stock markets do transaction through the net, business direct transaction through the net, he space and time limitation no longer exist. I am fascinated to the new change and eager to take part in it. So I have decided to study in Computer and Information Science. I want to be a professional computer programmer who creates and designs the software to meet the needs of people in e-ear.

Best of the semester - ② (How to study for an exam)

  Taking exams is an inevitable thing which makes students dizzy and even frustrated.  Notwithstanding,  some students still have a good way to prepare for it.  There are some good ways to study well below.  First of all, preview the courses you are going to take tomorrow so that you will have concepts previously when the teachers are teaching.  Secondly, do the assighments which are given by the teachers on time and ask teachers questions if you encounter some difficulties.  Thirdly, make sure that you have already figured out the questions and reviewed all the important concepts before the quizes and exams.  After all,  review can make you more impressive.  Last but not the least,  don't think preparing for the exams is such a miserable thing.  By this way, you can not only test your ability but also progress a lot from it.

Best of the semester - ③ (Effects of too much caffeine)

  Do you drink coffee or tea to stay awake?  Both of them contain coffeine which can sober people up.  According to  the report, drinking a moderate amount of caffeine can help you concentrate your attention on what you are doing in short time.  Nevertheless, drinking too much caffeine may cause bad influence on your health.  Doctors point out that heavy caffeine use is more than 500 to 600 mg a day (four to seven cups of coffee).  There are serious effects of too much caffeine below:  Firstly, don't drink too much coffee or tea before you go to bed; otherwise, you may suffer from an insomnia which keeps you wakeful till next morning.  On account of bad sleeping quality for a long period, you will get nervous and anxious easily when you are going to do something important such as giving a speech, having a meeting or test.  Worst of all, you may get  headaches on and off.  Futhermore,  don't drink too much coffee or tea when you are on an empty stomach, it may do harm to your stomach and even result in nausea or other gastrointestinal problems.  Besides, drinking too much coffee may lead to not only muscle tremors that will keep you from holding something steady, but fast or irregular heartbeat that will make you be short of breath. Though the effects of drinking coffee or tea are not always negative, you need to control yourself when you are going to buy cups of them. Thus, only you pay attention to the amount of caffeine can you enjoy the benefits which it brings to you.  Due to all the above-mentioned effects, it is obvious that drinking too mush caffeine isn't good for health.

Best of the semester - ① (Why is English important?)

  English is important for its being an international language.  People all over the world are speaking English. Why does English become so significant?  Here are some reasons below.  First of all, by virtue of its being spoken by legions of people around the world, we can go to another country without difficulties because we don't have the problem of not knowing local tongues.  We can communicate with locals by speaking English fluently.  Secondly, learning English can help us find a good job such as a tour guide for the foreseeable future.  As a tour guide, we can travel around the world to enrich our perceptions of life and learn other countries' civilizations.  By traveling, we can have a great valuable opportunity to experience cultural exchange.  Thirdly, learning English can help us jump on the bandwagon instead of being one step behind others.  We can catch up the world and know the latest knowledge by translating English into Chinese.  In short, the distance from country to country is no longer a problem as long as we keep learning it.

Discussing Effects-2 -revised

   Acton is a small town in the Midwest, which is a safe, quiet, and clean place to live.  The lifestyle in the town hasn't changed very much over the past 100 years.  Last month, Stanley Manufacturing decided  to open a large factory in Acton.  Though the efforts are not always benefic for the town,  I am on the same page as those who support the construction of the large factory.  First of all, with the new factory being built, people there can have more job opportunities than ever.  In this case, they are capable of supporting their families instead of being anxious about the income.  Secondly, interior economy will grow rapidly on account of the commerce with other countries.  They can sell their domestic products to others to make a profit.  Thirdly, after becoming a prosperous town, more and more people will be appealed to this town.  With emerging technology and useful  knowledge they bring, the town won't be isolated from the other towns.  In a word, taking into account of these effects, I think it advantageous for Stanley Manufacturing to build a large factory in Acton.
