Something about me! - Mia Lin

     Hi everyone! I'm Mia Lin, an applied foreign language student at NTUST. And I'm from Taipei! (p.s. Today is my 20th birthday. 🎊)

    Since this is the reading and writing class, I'd like to first talk about my reading history. Unfortunately, I have to say I'm not a reader, and even don't like reading at all. :( I never read in my spare time... However, I still have some experience reading books and novels. That can date back to my high school life. I had an English novel course, and the teacher asked us to read three novels in a semester. There were 100 questions about the plot as our exam. So I was kind of forced to read the book, or I wouldn't pass the exam. That was my first time reading an English novel, and I was a little bit afraid of it. In the semester, I read The Great Gatsby, Far from the Madding Crowd, and The Woman in White. At first, I used to think that reading was not interesting even though I knew that reading could enrich my knowledge. Reading these three novels changed my thoughts about reading English books. I can find something fun while reading the story, and I'm very relaxed during reading time! Thanks to the course, I'm willing to try more English novels now! 💪

    After today's class, I'm looking forward to reading more novels and writing my reading log! I think that this class can make me a habit of reading every day. Through writing reading logs and comments, I can practice my writing skills as much as I can. I know that this semester is going to write any paper, I'm wondering what my final portfolio looks like. 😆

    Don't forget about hobbies! I'm an outgoing person, so I like outdoor activities very much, like playing volleyball, swimming, and dancing. I'm enthusiastic about dancing. Of course, I'm in the school dance club. I enjoy the feeling when I'm on the stage. Dancing makes me more confident, and that's the main reason why I love to dance. I'm lack of confidence until I start to dance. Dancing really gives me a lot of power. 💖
