Now, let's read a passage written by a student about his changes. Let's see how he organized his ideas and what we can learn from him.
Changes in My LifeChanges 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.

junior high school初级中学
senior high school高级中学
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.
3a Read the text. What stays the same in the student’s life?
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.

15 minutes to go to school. It’s faster now.
My living environment has also improved. Some places near my home
were sandy before. But now there are many trees and flowers there.
Besides,shopping is easier now. We have fresh fruit and vegetables all

Changes in My Daily Life
Now that our society is developing fast,my daily life has become
quite different.
For example,I used to take the bus to school. The trip often took a
long time because of heavy traffic. Now our city has a new subway. It
cuts my travel time from 40 minutes to just 15 minutes.This makes my
daily trip much faster and more comfortable.
34
My living environment has also improved. In the past,some areas near
my home were sandy. But with greening efforts,now the land is covered
with green trees and beautiful flowers.
Besides,shopping is much easier now. High-tech greenhouses now
provide fresh fruit and vegetables all year. We can also buy different
products online. How convenient it is!
All these changes have greatly improved my daily life. I feel lucky
to live in such a wonderful time.

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
