#1 HI

Hello my classmates, my name is Jessica. Chinese name is LIN-YU-CHING. I major in international business. I'm so glad that I have this chance to make friend with everybody and also happy to meet teacher Sally. In this class, I hope I can improve my English capability, including reading and listening, even my speaking capability. I think my English is not very well, so I am afraid to speak English with others. Hope this class will improve my brave to speak out loud and have more confidence. I have participated some English activities. If you have time. Go to join some activities. It will be a difference experience.
