Greetings! My name is Ivy. I'm from Taichung where the weather usually is nice.         I'm major in information management at National Taipei University of Business. In the past two years, I spent most of my time learning computer science because of my major.         I don't have a lot of interests, I usually swipe my phone in my free time. When I surf on the internet, I like to watch videos on Youtube and check my social network websites.         Wishing my English can make progress through the course is what I expect to myself this semester.
