Introduction

One way to help others remember your name is to give a unique self-introduction. Take me as an example. I am Chris, but I am a female. (Please do not say "I am a girl or boy or a female or male when facing each other, because it is redundant. You will see the listener and understand that.) You may doubt why I use a male-like name "Chris." Originally I named myself after a beautiful girl who had sense of justice and smartness in some ways in the TV series called Three Companies. Her name was Christina. So, I was Christina then. However, when my college teacher made a roll call, there came out two Christinas which confused my teachers and classmates. Although both of us loved this name, we still hoped to solve the problem. Thus, we discussed on it and decided to cut our name into two parts: Chris and Tina. My partner Christina was a sincere Christian, who hoped I could get the blessings from God. She wanted me to get Chris. I loved this idea, too. Then, whenever we introduced ourselves, we always stood together and said we were Chris and Tina. That is how I got my name. Interesting? Now, it is your turns to talk about yourself.

PS. You need to give your email account ASAP, so that you can start writing your introduction.

New Semester

Can you believe the summer has gone? Well, it is! Some, of course, are thrilled about going back to school, especially a new school, while others are less enthusiastic. No matter what kind of feeling you have, welcome on board! Welcome to the English World! Now you have to spend some time to be familiar with the new environment including the school, the department, the courses, the teachers, and the classmates.

Here is something I need to remind you: remember, you are not a junior high; you are a senior high school student already! So, act as an adult and be mature to face the challenging future. You need to focus on the behavior and academic aspects and work hard to win the success. Otherwise, something terrible will happen!


Don't be afraid. If you have any further question about the school or the department, please come to us facilitators who are always standing by you.
