The Biggest Personal Change I’ve Ever Made
The biggest personal change I have ever made is that I have fallen in love with reading.
When I was a child, I didn't enjoy books at all. Later, my mother always read stories for me and bought me books. Gradually I began to love reading. Now I believe reading helps me know more about the world. I've improved my writing skills by reading. What's more, when I spend most of my free time reading, I develop a good reading habit. Books enrich my knowledge and make me happy.
In short, books are my friends. And reading benefits me a lot.
