11. How I've Changed!
My life has changed a lot in the last few years. l used to be overweight but I'm not anymore. l lost a lot of weight after I started playing tennis. Playing tennis three times a week is very good exercise.
Now I'm fitter and healthier.The biggest change in my life was becoming much better in English. This is thanks to my English teacher, Mrs. Wang, who gave me an interesting book to read. I enjoyed it so much
 that I started to read other books. This is the most important change because l am no longer afraid of 
The English language and I am doing better in my exams. This has made my parents even prouder of me.

My life has changed a lot in the last few years. I used to be short, but now I’m one of the tallest students in my class. I used to be shy and quiet, but now I’m outgoing and I like to make friends. I used to hate reading, but now I have fallen in love with it.

17. The most important change in my life was becoming interested in reading. Last summer my best friend gave me an interesting book to read. I enjoyed it so much that I started to read other books. It was the most important change because reading gives me a lot of knowledge and makes me very happy. As a famous saying goes, “Reading makes a full man”.
