How I’ve changed!
My life has changed a lot in the last few years.
I used to have short hair, but now I have very long hair. I used to be very shy and have no friends, but now I become outgoing and have made several good friends. I used to collect coins in my free time, but now I like drawing when I’m free.
The most important change in my life was that I became interested in speaking English. When I was in Grade 8, my English teacher told me that my pronunciation was very good but I still needed more practice. She encouraged me to speak a lot and then I started to practice more. Little by little my spoken English became better and better and I became more and more confident when I spoke in public.
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 thanks to my English teacher, Mrs. Wang, 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.
