How I Have Changed
Born as the only child in the family, I am the "king" of the family.My parents are both busy business and they come home every two weeks. Because they don't spend much time with me, they always feel sorry and buy me many expensive things and let me do whatever I want.My grandparents never let me do any chores because they want me to do my schoolwork.
I used to take everything for granted(理所当然). I never said “thank you"to people. As time went by, I found that my classmates didn't like me and my best friends left me. One day, I asked Leo who used to be one of my best friends why he didn't play with me. He said that I was selfish,rude and bad-tempered(坏脾气的). “No one wants to make friends with a person who always receives but never gives anything!" he said. I was shocked at his words. "Oh, no! Please don't leave me. I need friends! Iwill be lonely and unhappy without friends! "I locked myself up in the room and cried. "I want my friends back. But how "
Then I noticed that all the popular kids in the class are friendly to others. They always smile and say "thank you" to others. They do whatever they can to help when others are in trouble. Other kids like them and always play with them. "I need to change! I will get my friends back," I said to myself. From then on, I started to change myself. I learned to say "thank you" to others . I smiled and volunteered to help other kids. I tried to be as nice as I could. Gradually, I found that other kids liked to talk with me and they would ask me to play with them and even told me their secrets. My friends came back to me again.
Now I have more friends than I used to do and I am happier than I used to be.

I have returned to my hometown of Wilson Creek after an absence of 10 years. So many things have changed around here. When I left Wilson Creek, there was a small lake in the southeast of the town. They have filled in the lake and built a large shopping mall and a swimming pool there. They have also built a new post office just across from my old school.
The baseball stadium(体育场) in the northeast of Wilson Creek has also changed completely. They have now added a new stand(看台) where probably a few thousand people could sit. It looks really great.
The biggest changes have taken place in the town center. It has become a pedestrianised area(步行区) and you can't drive there anymore. They have built a large square and a cinema. There is also a newstreet cafe and a grassy area.
My street looks just the same as it always has been, but a public library has appeared on the next street. There used to be a park there, but they have cut down all the trees, which is a pity. The library now has a large green area in front of it, but it's not the same as when the park was there.
Another change is the new restaurants that have opened in Wilson Creek. A Chinese restaurant and an Italian restaurant have opened in the town center, and a Mexican restaurant has opened near my home, which is where I am going tonight.

I have changed a lot
I have changed a lot during the junior high school. I used to have short hair. But now I have long hair.
However, the most important change is that I learned to take responsibilities. Last term, I joined the English Drama Club. The members were divided into different groups and each group acted out a story. I was asked to play a small role without lines. However, I acted carefully every time and watched others play carefully. In the end, our performance was a great success.
It's the sense of responsibility that helps us do our work well. And from that I learned to be responsible at any moment.
