My English name is Derek, and was born in Taichung. I am twenty-one years old now. I am currently studying at NTUST in department of Electronic Engineering. After summer vacation, I will up to third grade. I was born from normal family and have two sisters who are older than me by over five years. They are like my mother so I always think I have three mothers in my life. It is very lucky to have two sisters like them.
My favorite hobby is playing basketball because I am very fascinated at comic book called "SLAMDUNK " when I was child. I always went to the library for reading it. So my first dream is to become basketball player when I was small. But I realized I couldn't make this dream come true when I was in the secondary school. Because my height is not tall enough, only have 170cm. Therefore, I had to change my dream path to be an electronic engineer. I choose the Electronic Engineering because I like electronic devices like cellphone or robot. I sometimes dismantled electronic products such like telephone, computer speaker.
I also like to spend on time with old friends very much. I always do it in my free time at Taichung. When I go with them, I can leave all annoyance behind. So when I feel upset, I will find them to talk. Because it will make me feel nothing need to worry.
I am a person who really likes social activities
Recently, I wish I can study abroad. I really want to see other cultures and people in different countries. I don't want just see it on TV, I want to experience it by myself.
It is very lucky having two sisters like them.
When I was child, I often went to the library for reading it.
I am not consider my self good writer but I think other people may help you more
Hi Derek, welcome to EssayForum :) This place is truly a remarkable place to improve your essay development. With regards to your essay, honestly I do not have any experience in writing any autobiography but I think I can give some contributions related to grammatical range and accuracy.
1st paragraph:
- After summer vacation, I will up toam going to be in the third grade. (if this is a plan, I think that "be going to" is more appropriate)
- I was born from normal family and have two sisters who are older than me by over five years older than me . (so, the other families are abnormal? I need the word "normal" here can be ambiguous. It is better to omit it or change it becomes small/large family)
- They are like my mother so that I always think that I have three mothers in my life. However, It is very lucky to have two sisters like them because...(more explanation on this would be better I guess)
2nd paragraph:
- ...comic book called "SLAMDUNK " when I was a child.
- SoThus, my first dream is to become basketball player when I was small.(ambiguous, what do you mean by small here? small size or small age? or small what? and I think it was quite redundant to the previous sentence)
- ButHowever, I realized I couldn'tcould not(avoid using contractions) make this dream come true when I was in the secondary school because my height iswas not tall enough, I only have 170cm. (it is better to combine those two sentences)
- Sometimes, I dismantled electronic products such likeas telephone and computer speaker.
