When I was in primary school, I never dared to join group activities or answer teachers’ questions. I even felt nervous when talking to strangers, so I had few friends and often stayed alone. Everything changed when I met my new deskmate in Grade 8. She was outgoing and friendly, and she always encouraged me to open up. One day, she invited me to join the class singing competition. At first, I refused, but she kept cheering for me. I decided to try, and I practiced the song every day after school. On the competition day, although I was still a little nervous, I sang my best. After that, more classmates got to know me, and I made many friends. Now I’m a confident and outgoing girl. I often take part in school activities and enjoy talking with people. This change has made me realize that friendship and courage can help us break through ourselves. Growth is about changing for the better, and I’m really proud of my progress! 范文中文翻译 我的巨大变化 我曾经是一个害羞的女孩，害怕在公共场合说话。小学时，我从来不敢参加集体活动，也不敢回答老师的问题。甚至和陌生人说话时我都会紧张，所以我没什么朋友，经常一个人待着。 八年级遇到我的新同桌后，一切都变了。她开朗又友善，总是鼓励我敞开心扉。有一天，她邀请我参加班级歌唱比赛。一开始我拒绝了，但她一直为我加油。我决定尝试一下，于是每天放学后都练习这首歌。比赛那天，虽然我还是有点紧张，但我还是尽全力唱了。从那以后，更多同学认识了我，我也交了很多朋友。 现在我是一个自信开朗的女孩。我经常参加学校活动，也喜欢和别人交流。这个变化让我明白，友谊和勇气能帮助我们突破自我。成长就是变得更好，我真为自己的进步感到骄傲！ 素材积累 核心短语 used to be/do 过去常常是/做某事 from time to time 时常；有时 deal with 应对；处理 in public 公开地；在公共场合 be proud of 为……感到骄傲 take pride in 为……感到自豪 in person 亲身；亲自 fall behind 落后 break through 突破 open up 敞开心扉 take part in 参加 believe in oneself 相信自己 comfort zone 舒适区 grow up 成长 make progress 取得进步 join in 参与 基础句型（含本单元重点） 基础句型 仿写句子 I used to ________, but now I ________.
