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.

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.
