Sample 1
How I’ve Changed
My life has changed a lot in the past/last few years. I used to be thin, but now I am of medium build. In the past, I was afraid of doing many things, but now I’m braver. When I was free, I used to like being alone and watching movies. Now I am interested in reading books.
The biggest change in my life was becoming much braver. One day, I went to an amusement park with Peter. Looking at the scary ride, I thought about giving up. However, Peter asked me to try it. After the ride, I felt so glad that I had tried it. It was so exciting. Now, I am no longer afraid of doing anything new. This is the most important change because I have learned that I will never know until I try something. And it makes me feel more confident now.
Sample 2
How I’ve Changed
My life has changed a lot in the last few years. When I was a little child, I used to play with my friends all day long. We found that almost anything could bring fun to us. But now, I am growing up, things seem to change gradually that I don't realize.
I had a lot of time to play before, but now nearly all my time is spent on study and homework. I used to watch cartoons, but now I prefer news and English programs. Generally speaking, things turn better. Now, I am interested in reading and writing. I think that the more good books I read, the more knowledge I get.
The biggest change in my life was that I began to love sports at the age of ten. This is the most important change. Because I didn’t use to play sports after school. When I was ten years old, I often fell ill. So my parents encouraged me to play sports after school. Now I’m really interested in sports and I’m much healthier.
