My name is Joy Tian.
My name is Joy Tian. I am from Beijing, China. I speak Mandarin, and some English. I came to America in 2001. Before I came to America, I was a music editor in a publishing house. I am now taking an ESL class and work hard at my English so that I can improve my English quickly and have better chances to get a job. Life is not easy for a new immigrant in the States, especially in a big city like New York, but it is worth trying because there are so many opportunities here. I enjoy my life here, busy, challenging and exciting.
I have many hobbies. As a composer, of course I like music. Classical music is my major interest. I also like reading, arts, sports, watching movies and TV, and traveling. But before everything else, I must improve my English. Besides taking classes, I also listen to the casette, watch English teaching programs on TV, or on DVD, VCD. I learn everywhere. In the train, on the bus, on the street, and from everybody who speak better English than me. I am sure my hard work will pay in the long run.
