Changes Around Us
In the past few years, great changes have taken place around us.
In the past, travelling abroad was nearly impossible for most people. Now, more people have chances to go abroad or travel online. Meanwhile, we used to ride bicycles or take slow buses, but today many people drive cars or take high-speed railways. At school, we do more reading, group work, and often share our ideas in class. In addition, we have become more aware of environmental protection by planting more trees and using less plastic.
In my opinion, these changes have made our lives more convenient and meaningful. I hope we can continue to develop our world in a greener and smarter way.

主题写作
Good morning, everyone!
I'm glad to share my story about changes. The biggest change I've had since entering junior high is becoming more confident. I used to be shy and afraid to speak in public. Once, my English teacher asked me to give a presentation. At first, I wanted to refuse, but she encouraged me, saying, “ You can do it!Just try. " I spent days preparing, practising in front of the mirror. When I stood on the stage, my hands were shaking but I took a deep breath and started. To my surprise, I finished successfully and even got applause.
From this experience, I learnt that confidence comes from trying. Don't be afraid of challenges. Take a step forward, and you'll find yourself growing.
Thank you!
