How I’ve Changed! My life has changed a lot in the last few years. I used to be short, but now I’m one of the tallest students in my class. I used to be shy and quiet, but now I’m outgoing and I like to make friends. I used to hate reading, but now I have fallen in love with it. The most important change in my life was becoming interested in reading. Last summer my best friend gave me an interesting book to read. I enjoyed it so much that I started to read other books. It was the most important change because reading gives me a lot of knowledge and makes me very happy. As a famous saying goes, “Reading makes a full man”.
1. 内容：文章内容丰富且详略得当，作者首先从外貌、性格和爱好三个方面简单介绍了自己的变化，其次详细地介绍了自己的重要变化——在英语口语方面发生的变化，并说明了变化的原因和过程。
2. 语言：平行结构(I used to ..., but now I ...)的使用，使得文章节奏匀称；使用了表示对比的词but，还使用了表示时间的词语now和When进行衔接，使得文章语意连贯、自然；比较级结构(became better and better, became more and more confident)和固定句式(The most important ... was that ...)的使用，使得文章提升了一个档次。
点评范文
How I’ve Changed!
My life has changed a lot in the last few years. I used to be overweight but I’m not anymore. I lost a lot of weight after I started playing tennis. Playing tennis three times a week is a very good exercise. Now I’m fitter and healthier.
The biggest change in my life was becoming much better in English. Thanks to my English teacher, Mrs Wong, who gave me an interesting book to read. I enjoyed it so much that I started to read other English books. This is the most important change because I’m no longer afraid of English and I am doing better in my exams. This has made my parents even prouder of me.

Generally speaking, things turn better. Now, I am interested in reading and writing. I think that the more good books I read, the more knowledge I get.
The biggest change in my life was that I began to love sports at the age of ten. This is the most important change. Because I didn’t use to play sports after school.
