I have changed a lot over the years. For example, I used to be afraid of exams, but now, it doesn’t bother me in the slightest, and I used to spend time watching TV every day. But now, I have no time, I study all day. My mother used to take me to the concert often, but now, I hardly ever have time on it. I like running, and I used to run every day after class, but now I’m not allowed. My parents want me to study all day. They want me to become the top student in the class, and I don’t want to let them down. So I have to give up running. I used to have colorful time, but now I’m busy enough, and I’m always happy. As you can see, people sure change!

I’ve changed a lot over the years. I used to have lots of free time to play computer and watch TV. But now I work harder on studies. I don’t go to bed until 10: 30 because of my homework. I used to love toys because they are so interesting. However, I prefer to play basketball now and it really gives me so much fun! As for my daily life, I used to be afraid of the dark, so I couldn’t sleep with the light off. But I can sleep with the light off now. I think I am really changed now. Time goes by, it’s amazing how I’ve changed and I am never a child!
