How I’ve Changed!
My life has changed a lot in the last few years. I used to play with my friends all day long when I was a little child. We found that almost anything could bring fun to us. But now, as 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 most of 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’m 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.

Para. 2 描述变化,今昔对比
首先,我的外表已经改变了。我过去有短发,但现在我有很长的头发。我曾经超重,但现在我不再超重了。此外,我的性格变得很不一样。当我还是个小女孩的时候,我很害羞,很少和别人说话。现在我变得外向,交了几个好朋友。最后但并非最不重要的是,我生活中最大的变化是我对英语更感兴趣。这是因为我的英语老师很幽默。多亏了她,我比以前更加努力了。一点一点地,我的英语考试成绩越来越好,我的父母也为我感到骄傲。 To begin with, my appearance has changed. I used to have short hair, but now I have very long hair. And I used to be overweight but I’m not anymore. Besides, my personality has become quite different. When I was a little girl, I was very shy and seldom talk to others. Now I become outgoing and have made several good friends. Last but not least, the biggest change in my life was that I became more interested in English. This is because my English teacher is really humorous. Thanks to her, I work harder than I used to. Little by little, I am doing better in my English exams now and my parents are also prouder of me.
