    My name is Ashley, I'm from 英三B. This is my third year in SooChow University. When I was a high school student, I was interested in English a lot, and decided to get into the department of English. Three years later, I got into SooChow University and started to learn English. I am glad to learn English here because the professors and classmates are all kind and help me a lot. I've learn many skills about English here and I'm still learning and making myself progress.     I am glad to join this class because I would like to learn something useful about computer.
