People from home and abroad are all surprised at China's great progress.
In the past, most people in China lived a poor life. About five to seven people lived together in a tiny house. Children couldn't have their own rooms and the younger seldom had new clothes. Lots of young people had to work in the countryside or mountain areas instead of getting a proper education. As a result, China fell
far behind.
　　However, in 1978, China carried out the reform and opening-up policy(改革开放政策). It was an important turning point for Chinese people. China has developed quickly since then.
　　Now, people's life is totally different. More people step into well-to-do families(富裕家庭). China also pay s great attention to compulsory(义务的) education. So far, the rate(比率) of compulsory education has increased to more than 94%.
　　Looking back at the past, China has changed and gone through a lot in the past years. It is certain that China will become better and better in the future.

How I Have Changed
How time flies! I'm in Grade Nine and I have changed a lot. In the past three years,I used to get up late and was always late for school. But now I get up early and read Chinese and English every morning. I get to
school early every day. In class, I didn't use to listen to the teachers. I didn't use to do my homework on time after class. But now I listen to the teachers carefully and take lots of notes. I also complete my homework in time. In the evening,I used to watch TV for a long time, and sometimes I play computer games all night. But now I study hard and do my homework carefully. When I meet problems,I will try my best to solve them. I used to sleep in on weekends. But now,I often help my parents with housework.
