The Changing World
Sec B 3a-3d
The primary school you are trying to connect with.
Hi! Do you still walk to school with Mom?
No, I take the bus now. My school is farther.
Oh! What about Grandma? Does she still live far away?
She lives with us now! That’s the best part.
Wow! That’s great! Have you become confident in your studies?
Yes, I have become more confident in my studies and often attend group discussions.
So… has anything never changed?
Yes, the love in our family.
It’s the same.
Change 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.

Hello, everyone! Today I’m talking to my old self from primary school.
My life has changed a lot in recent years. Many things around me have become much better.
First, my neighborhood used to be simple and quiet with few public facilities. But now, our community has built beautiful gardens and sports grounds. It is more comfortable to live here.
Second, the transport around my home used to be inconvenient. We could only walk or ride bikes. However, more bus stops and shared bikes have appeared recently, making our trips much easier.
Third, the environment used to be a little dirty. To my joy, people have paid more attention to environmental protection. The streets are clean and the air is fresh now.
So many things have changed greatly, but the warm and peaceful life in my family stays the same.
Possible version
Hello, everyone! Today I’m talking to my old self from primary school.
Time goes by, and great changes have taken place around me. I want to share these amazing improvements with my past self.
My neighborhood used to lack public entertainment places, so we had few relaxing activities after school. But now, our community has created wonderful public spaces for us to relax and exercise.
Besides, the traffic conditions used to be slow and limited. Luckily, our city has improved the public transport system greatly. We can travel faster and more conveniently than before.
What’s more, the living environment used to have some small problems. But people have worked together to protect our home. Now we can see green trees and clean streets everywhere.
The world around me is changing for the better, but the happiness and love from my family always remain the same.
Checklist

I write three changes: neighborhood, transport, environment.
I end my writing with one unchanging thing.
