I’m Zhang Lin. I’m 26. I’d like to talk about some changes in my life over the years. When I was little, I lived with my parents. We had meals together every day. Now, I live by myself and sometimes I don’t have time for breakfast. I have to say that it is not healthy. Another big change in my life is the way I shop. In the past, I went shopping at stores, but today I can shop online. I think it is much easier and simpler. I always order fruit and vegetables on phone apps. There are so many choices, and shopping online saves me a lot of time.
