     I am Jade Chiang and I am the one in the middle of the photo above. It was taken in the Christmasland of New Taipei City last year by the way.

     To trace back the history of reading in my life so far, my parents affect it a lot. As they know how important the habit of reading is, they always took me and my siblings to book rental stores since we were little. Sometimes we even stayed there for a whole afternoon. However, when I was that little, all I want to do is sleep and play around. I have no interest in sitting down still and picking up a book to read at all. So, basically, I was always sleeping, feeling bored and asking my mother when to go home at that time. Yet, somehow, one day I didn’t want to sleep and I was so bored that I decided to choose one comic book to read. It was that moment when I finally sat down and started reading. Now I read not only comic books but novels, magazines and news paper as well. What’s more, I also started writing since junior high school. All credit to my parents’ effort, they are the ones who led me to know the world of reading.

     I have been a reader and writer for a long time. Nevertheless, I still feel that there are spaces for me to improve both in reading and writing. Therefore, I want to sharpen my abilities and have them to the next level. Aside from that, I would also like to get to know more about the issues that I haven’t noticed through this class. To sum up, I expect everyone in the class including the professor and all the classmates to help each other and share the knowledge, information and experience of reading and writing. 😊
