My Changes
Hello, I’m Li Hua. Now I am a student in Grade 8. Looking back at my life before, I find that I have changed a lot.

I used to be short and heavy, but now I am tall and thin. I used to be shy, but now I'm outgoing, friendly and always ready to help others. I now enjoy reading and running instead of only playing games in my childhood. I have developed good habits: I get up early, do my homework first and exercise every day. Now I'm good at running and do well in English. I feel really happy about these great changes.
