Hi, dear all:
    
     I'm Candy , major in Bussiness Administration. I'm so glad to be the member of this class, I trust that I will improve my English ability from this calss. Speaking English fluently is the wish of my whole life.
     
     My english name is from my first english teacher. At frist, I didn't like it, beacause I didn't want to be "Food". But now it's different, I love it. The reason is that people will say "Candy ?  oh! so sweet ".... Haha..I know, I know XD.
    
     I'm 22 years old. Because of my baby face and short figure, when people see me first, they always look at me with their unbelivabe eyes and say "you are lying, you look like a child !".  Hey, come on. I really do my best to make my appearance to the same as my age.  I really don't know I should be happy or sad. All right, god blessing me.

 
    I love doing something funny ,  haha...this photo is the one of my favorite photo. Hahaha...shrare with you.
