2021/1/1 my first time watching Taipei 101 fireworks display

     For my parents’ emphasis on English ability, I’ve been exposed to English since I was in kindergarten. When it comes to my reading and writing history, I started them in elementary school like most Taiwanese students do. Despite my passion for learning English, I’m not into regulated reading and writing tasks. In other words, I don’t find reading “books” or writing “articles with assigned topics" fascinating. Yet, if reading can be explained in a broad sense, I do love to immerse myself in reading lyrics, dramas, and movies. (By the way, Love Story by Taylor Swift was the first song that led me to the world of reading lyrics!) In addition, I also jot down my feelings whenever I think the moods or moments are worth recording. 

     Even though I’ve started reading and writing for years, I suppose that I’m still not a qualified reader or writer. First, like I mentioned before, I find passively reading books, novels, essays sort of tedious. Moreover, my writing skills aren’t mature enough to complete a thorough essay smoothly without making mistakes or confronting obstacles in the process. Hence, cultivating my reading habits and passing on skills to writing in-depth essays can be quite helpful to me. Apart from what the professor can support, as a language learner, I also expect myself to make reading and writing an indispensable part of my life, enabling me to become a genuine reader/writer!
