(2025-2026·黄石市第八中学期中)Jane was not a confident girl before, because she was fat, and others often laughed at her heavy body. As a result, Jane became very shy. She was scared to say hello to strangers. She was afraid to ask simple questions and speak loud in front of others. It seemed that she felt afraid of everything in her life. She used to believe that she would be like this all her life.
But one day, her friend Paul's words changed her mind. He said, "If you can give it a try, you will have a chance to make a change. But if you never try, your life is only going to get worse." Jane was deeply touched(触动)by what Paul said. She thought, "Why not have a try? After all,I have nothing to lose." So Jane decided to change herself.
The first thing Jane did was losing weight. She had healthy eating habits and did exercise every day. After 6 months, she lost 90 pounds. This taught her that she could change herself.
A few months later, Jane heard about a speech competition(演讲比赛)at her university. She plucked up the courage to sign up(报名)for the competition. For the first time,she was able to share her story and speak loud in front of many people. In the end,she got a big prize!
After the competition, Jane made a to-do list. She tried her best to finish the things on the list one by one. These things helped Jane change rapidly.
