About myself-Michael

My Chinese name is 楊文淵,and my English name is Michael.

 I am from Taiwan, and there are five people in my family.  They are my parents, my sisters and me. My favorite color is blue, and I like tigers very much.  I think they are very cool. I often read books when I am bored.  My mother thinks reading is a good hobby, but I always forget a lot of important things while I am reading.  I am friendly but sometimes very crazy.

I have learned English for more then six years, but I think my English is still very poor. I think English is a good way to know many friends, so I hope my English can be better until I can talk to foreigner.

HI, I'M EASON

Cheryl

About me: 

  My Chinese name is 其芸 何.  I'm cheryl. I'm talkative and generous.  I really like to make friends.  Sometimes I am insecure or a little forgetful, but I like to laugh,and I am very crazy.  I like singing and taking photos.  I prefer pink to other colors.  By the way, I have a lot of beloved singers.  Like JJ, Bruno Mars, One Direction, etc.

(Now I think you may know my favorite singer is JJ.)

English to me: 

  I studied English for about seven years.  Sometimes I think why I study English, why I love it?  Everybody knows English is the subject, but to me English is not only the subject, it also my favorite hobbies.

My goal in learning:

  Maybe when I twenty years old, I will earn sufficient money and study abroad .  I hope I can, although I'm nobody. And my writing is not really unskillful so I have to keep practicing my writing from now on. And I want to present myself one sentence "practice makes perfect".
