2.Why you want to change;
3.How you plan to change;
4.What result you hope to see.
Dear Editor,
I was walking past a shop window the other day when I saw my reflection. At first, I didn't realise it was me. When I saw it was me, I felt sad as I was overweight. I didn't realise how I looked, and now I really want to change. I really like eating, but I realise I eat too much, and I don't eat good things.
I want to change because I want to be able to look at myself and feel happy with how I look. I also want to be healthy.
My plan is to change my diet and exercise regularly. I will stop eating sugar, and only eat at mealtimes rather than eating snacks during the day. I will focus on healthy foods. Then I will exercise every day. I will walk to school and back, and on the weekend, I will go swimming.
I have only been doing my plan for a week, but I'm already starting to feel better. I haven't lost a lot of weight yet, but I feel positive. I feel confident that I will reach my goal!
Yours sincerely,
A. Smith

summary
Dear Editor,
①Knowing that letter are wanted , I’d like to share my story with you. ②As my studies grew, I was stressed out and worn out. There was a time when I suffered a poor sleep. Worse still, the addiction to smoking brought me a negative effect physically and mentally.
③Suddenly,I became aware that if left unchecked, my bad habits would make me accomplish nothing , I made up my mind to change myself straight away. ④Whenever I wanted to smoke, I tried to discipline myself by doing other things to get refreshed. I chose to work out regularly, which enhanced my quality of life.
⑤ Now, there is no doubt that I am more dynamic, with my motivation stimulated.
Yours, Li Hua
Thank you !
