WHY IS ENGLISH WRITING SO IMPORTANT?

I WANT TO KNOW YOU!Please describe yourself!

Hello, I am Whitley. I am from Taiwan and I teach English in a vocational high school in Taipei. The school is one of the best vocational high schools in our country, and the students there are very nice and hardworking. I majored in Foreign Language and Literature in college, and I studied Education in graduate school. Therefore, I keep a habit of reading novels and always try my best to use them in my teaching. I grew up in Neihu and moved to Nangang at age 18. Because I live near Academia Sinica, I often go exercise or walk my dog there. I love to stay home and enjoy my alone time, but I also enjoying hanging out with my friends. While I might be described as outgoing and talkative, I also value everyday manners.
