Maria is a 17-year-old high school student. She often says that her life has changed a lot since she entered high school.
Three years ago, when Maria was in junior high, she was very quiet. She used to sit in the corner of the classroom during breaks and never talked much with her classmates. She was afraid of public speaking—even when the teacher asked her to answer a simple question, her face would turn red and she could hardly speak. After school, she used to go home directly and spend most of her time reading novels or watching cartoons. She didn’t like sports at all; she thought running or playing ball games was tiring.
But now, Maria is totally different. She has become more outgoing. She often takes part in class discussions and even volunteers to give speeches in front of the whole grade. Her classmates often ask her for help because she is willing to share her ideas. After school, she doesn’t go home immediately. Instead, she joins the school’s volleyball club and practices with her teammates twice a week. She also goes jogging every Saturday morning with her best friend, Lily.

Mr. Brown is a 55-year-old man who lives in a small town. He works as a gardener now, but his life was very different when he was young.
When Mr. Brown was 20 years old, he used to work in a big factory in the city. Every morning, he used to get up at 5:30 and take the early bus to work. The factory was far from his home, so he used to spend two hours on the bus every day. At the factory, he used to operate a big machine.

He says the work is quiet and relaxing, which is totally different from the factory work. Now, he doesn’t need to get up early to catch the bus. He usually gets up at 7:00 and takes a walk in the garden first. After breakfast, he starts to take care of his plants. In the evening, he often sits on the chair in the garden and talks with his neighbors. Mr. Brown says, “Life in the town is slow, but I feel happier than before. I used to be busy and tired, but now I can enjoy every moment of my life.”

参考范文
Dear Peter,
I’m glad to receive your letter. You asked about my changes in recent years, and I’d like to share them with you.
Three years ago, I was very shy and didn’t dare to talk to new people. But now I’m more outgoing and enjoy making friends. As for hobbies, I used to like reading books alone in my room. However, I now love doing sports, such as playing basketball and running, because they make me strong and happy.
My living habits have also changed. I used to stay up late and get up late on weekends. But now I go to bed early and get up early every day. I even do exercise for 30 minutes in the morning. These changes have made my life better.
What about your changes Please write to me soon.
Yours,Li Hua
