Chen Yi-Husan (陳怡萱
I, Chen Yi-Husan, was born in Fengyuan (豐原),“the plain of plenty” in
Taichung, Taiwan. I have received most of my education in Taichung. There are four
people in my family, including my parents, younger sister, and me. My father works
as a structural engineer whereas my mother is a housewife. My family have always
been my good companions in joy and in sorrow. Materially we are not very rich, but
spiritually we are.
I like to be with people. I believe everyone has their own potentials and styles for
me to learn and follow. Helping people is my value to live by. When I was a freshman,
I volunteered to feed foods for the disables in Huei Ming (惠明) School as my service.
The people there are with multiple disabilities but they are all simple-hearted. This
experience have made me realize how blessed I am, and cherish what I have. It has
made me decide to assist people and help them to live better lives.
I was admitted to Providence University in 2004 with a major of English
Language, Literature and Linguistics. During these years of acquiring language
learning and Teaching Program, I’ve made good academic records and I am trained
broadly on the application of English and Japanese as well as basic computer skills
such as MS Words, Excel, and PowerPoint. Before entering Providence University, I
studied in Central Taiwan University of Science and Technology, where I was
responsible for the finance and art decorations.
As for the certificates in English abilities, I passed the Intermediate level of
GEPT (General English Proficiency Test) and TKT (Teaching Knowledge Test).

2. Regarding the extra-curriculum activities in the school, I participated in Skit (stage
play) contests in school. In addition, I was a volunteer of a study project of Taichung
Folklore Park in 200, and attended the 21st International Conference on English and
Teaching and Learning in Chaoyang (朝陽) University of Technology, Taichung in
2004. I have been a volunteer teacher in elementary schools for almost three years. My
working experience was also related to English teaching. I have been the tutor of
elementary and middle high school students since I was a university student. Due to
these experiences, I met many kinds of teachers and students and also learned a lot
from them. I have found what to do to improve myself, understood how to handle
things in mature ways, and realized how to be more considerate to others.
Through these various kinds of extra-curriculum activities, I not only have
improved my English abilities but also have expanded my views and enriched my
experience. As an English major, I have realized the cultural diversities of the Western
and the Eastern. I have broadened my views and understood different cultures. I have
the honor as a student in the Department of English Language, Literature and
Linguistics at Providence University so that I can learn and acquire more about foreign
languages and teaching programs. I expected myself to become a professional teacher
in the foreign languages field
I am enthusiastic, responsible and experienced. Also I’m willing to learn. I
like to do things in efficient and effective ways. Whenever I am assigned a task, I
always accomplish it as soon as possible. Because I understand how priceless time is, I
seldom put off what I can do today till tomorrow. And these positive personalities are
suitable for working at your schools. To sum up, according to these reasons that you
may consider I am qualified to be an English teacher in your school. I sincerely hope
that you can consider me to be one of your faculties.
