My Introduction "Who Is Effie"

               Who is Effie? Effie is currently a student at AECP. She grew up in Taipei,Taiwan; a small island in the Pacific Ocean. Taipei is home for the second highest building in the world, Taipei 101. Taipei is also famous for its relaxing hot springs. Taiwanese people enjoy good food. The most popular dishes are rice, noodle, and steamed dumplings. Some of the most popular restaurants are called hotpot or “Shabu Shabu.” Young people in Taiwan like to socialize and gather at night markets that sell everything from “stinky tofu” to wholesale clothing, and “bubble tea.” Who is Effie? I am Effie, I am your classmate and I am looking forward to learning more about the United States.

Writing&Reading

     I prefer to read books about conversation and efficiency. My favorite book is "Conversational English for Chinese Speaker." I bought this book when I was back in Taiwan. I enjoyed reading on my trip here. It covers many useful topics.
For example, "How to understand American People," this chapter taught me about things such as in the American society people highly regard the laws, justice systems, credit standing, as well as the American spirit of service being greatly encouraged throughout everyone's life. Another chapter "Table manners," helped me understand things such as not being late for a dinner party and do not seat yourself until the ladies are seated. To sum up, I prefer reading books to improve myself. I think it is a good way to learn more English.
