Paragraph 1 your problem+ how/why you change
I always wanted to lose weight and keep healthy so I chose to do some jogging everyday. However, I gradually found it became boring and a chore. I once wanted to give up. Then I felt it necessary to find some way to make jogging more enjoyable.
Paragraph 2 Describe your change
I talked to my friends what troubled me. He recommended that I should find an exercise buddy. I followed his suggestion and managed to make my classmate Lily as my exercise buddy because he also had trouble keeping on doing exercise. Instead of running alone, I began to do the jogging with Jim. We encouraged each other rather than felt lonely. We sometimes listen to music together when jogging, making it more fun.
