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 very good exercise. Now I’m fitter and healthier.
The biggest change in my life was becoming much better in English. This is because of my English teacher, Mrs. Wong, who gave me an interesting book to read. I enjoyed it so much that I started to read other books. This is the most important change because I am no longer afraid of the English language and I am doing better in my exams. This has made my parents even prouder of me.
What great changes I have ! I miss the old days and I really enjoy the life I have now.I hope I can do better in the future.
