I was afraid of speaking in front of class. But now I am more outgoing than before. I can give a speech in public. What’s more, I also make many friends. Third, I used to enjoy reading. I always went to the library to spend my time on weekends. But now I am interested in playing sports. I join the soccer club, and I always play soccer with my friends after class. I think it is good for my mind and body.
These are my changes. What about yours

How I’ve Changed!
My life has changed a lot in the last few years. I used to be overweight. I lost a lot of weight after I started playing tennis. Now I’m fitter and healthier.
The biggest change in my life was becoming much better in English. This is thanks to my English teacher, Mrs. Song, 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 English and I am doing better in my exams. This has made my parents even prouder of me.
