Task 1:

About me: Write a short autobiography about yourself.

Yucho, she was a nurse before she immigrated in Canada. She has a bachelor degree of the Science of Nurse and had worked as a registered nurse for twenty-four years. After she came here, she applied the program of Nurse in Seneca College and was fail to pass the exam. So she decided to find a job and improved her English level by herself. She got a job in a restaurant as a waitress. She couldn't answer the phone efficiently and fluently and complained by the customers. So the owner changed her job to be a chef helper. At the rush hour, she sometimes got mistakes because the chef spoke so fast. She kept silence because nobody talks to her except give her some works. She quieted the job and went back to the school. She dislikes the people treat her like a machine.
