My name is Wei Ziqi,16 years old girl ,who comes from Guangzhou, China .For now, I am studying at Pei Zheng Senior High School, which is one of the key middle schools in GZ.
I am an outgoing lively and smart sunny girl. My learning achievement is at the middle level in my class .But I really want to finish my education in USA.
Because of my mind was made up occasionally ,so I have not been to take part in TOEFL ,have not the TOEFL mark either .Actually, I am known about your school.
My interest is wide ranging .For example, swimming , flying kite ,are perfect way for me to relax my tension ,and give me a peaceful mind. And I like reading which expand my knowledge and widen my vision.
