1. Brainstorm your stories (make a list of possible events, people, and things that might appear
in your autobiography; you may start with stories of your Chinese/English name).
(1) My English name Tim is actually came from a British teacher who taught my the Cambridge
kids English. At the first class, he asked me to choose a English name so that he didn’t need
to remember our long Chinese name. That’s my English name came from.
(2)I remembered that I have already got a lot of different categories testimonials about a lot of
diverse activities. Most of them were very academic and valuable at that time. In order to
achieve these awards, I paid a lot of tension to prepare and practice for it. Luckily, it worked.

2. Collect Family Stories (stories that get told again and again at holidays, weddings, reunions)
(1)My parents always told me that there were full of grass and field in shanghai when they were
a child. However, after many years, everything had changed and Shanghai became more and
more prosperous.
(2)When the QingMing comes, my parents will all go to their hometown to worship their family
members. Even though the COVID-19 is so popular currently, they still do not stop that instead
of using another way to do.

3. Gather artifacts from your life (objects that are filled with memories like a beloved doll,
first ballet dress, a scrap from your baby blanket, a photograph of you as the ring
bearer/flower girl at a wedding, old journals)
(1)I think my gaming box might be the best choice. This gaming box have already accompanied
with me for nearly 5 years, and I have used it to play a lot of different types of games. It’s very
glad to meet this console and also very appreciate that my parents agreed to buy me that thing.
(2)Another thing must be my smart watch which is just the second generation of Apple Watch.
Currently it’s not a the latest version especially the crown is broken. However, the exercise
function is still working well. So that I prefer to use it when I’m doing some fitness training
everyday.

Name _____ Mark _____/16
The place you select to map out should be a place you know so well that you can picture it at
night before you fall asleep – a neighborhood where you lived for several years, a relative’s
house or apartment you often visited, a vacation home, a summer camp you return to every year.
You can even try it with the neighborhood you live in now.
There is no need to try to make it professional –just sketch what you remember, and make it
as detailed as possible. As you do so, label your map to mark:
Where something happened (you lost a tooth, found a pocket knife, or buried a beloved
pet)
A “power spot” (where all the neighborhood kids gathered)
A “danger” spot (a place you had to avoid)
A favorite place
A secret place
