Skim the passage and find the main idea of it.
Changes in My Life
Now that I am older, my life is different from when I was in primary school. For example, my primary school was near my home, so I used to walk to school with my parents. Now my junior high school is farther from home. I take a bus every day with my friends.
My home has changed too. My family used to live in a small flat, but now we have moved to a much larger one. My grandma lives with us now as well. She has her own room and her own TV set. I am glad that I get to see her every day.
The way I study is also different. I have become more confident in my studies and often attend group discussions. I enjoy studying with my friends.
It’s amazing how much we have achieved together.
My life has changed in many ways, but one thing stays the same: the feeling of love and happiness shared by my family.

Changes in My Life
My life has changed a lot since primary school, especially in three areas: my home, how I get around, and the way I study.
First, my home is different. In primary school, I shared a small bedroom with my younger brother. Now, I have my own room with a desk by the window. We also moved to a house with a small garden, so I can play outside or read in the sun.
Second, transport has changed. I used to walk to primary school because it was just down the street. My mom walked with me every morning. Now, my junior high school is across town. I take the city bus by myself or with classmates. I feel more independent.
Finally, the way I study is not the same anymore. Before, I studied alone at the kitchen table and often needed my parents' help. Now, I study in my own room and make my own study plans. I also join online study groups with my friends. We share notes and quiz each other before tests.
These changes have made me more responsible and confident. Though many things are different, I still enjoy learning and spending time with my family.
