写作框架:
Dear Jack,
How are you? I’m glad to tell you something about the changes in me, my life and my hometown.
I used to be short and thin, but now I’m tall and strong.I was shy before, but now I’m more outgoing and have many friends.As for study, English was diff icult for me and it was hard for me to talk with foreign students. But now I can speak English better.I used to chat with my friends face to face,but now we mostly chat on the internet.I used to go shopping in small shops,but now I often shop online.
In recent years, great changes have taken place in my hometown, too.The environment is better and better. There are more trees and flowers. Transportation has become more convenient. There are more buses and subways. People are happier. I’m very happy with these changes.
I hope you can come to my hometown one day.
Yours,
Wang Tao
