My Changes

I'm in Grade 9 and I have changed a lot. First, I used to be thin, but now I am a little fatter. I used to have curly hair, but now I have short straight hair, because I am busy with my study. Second, I have made much progress in English. I wasn't good at it at the beginning. But with my English teacher's help, now I often get good scores on my English exams. What's more, I'm more outgoing than I used to be. I was so afraid of speaking in front of people in the past, however, now I can give a speech in public confidently. Last but not least, I have made lots of friends as well. These are my changes. What about yours?

(二)疫情带来的生活改变

去年，新冠肺炎 (COVID-19) 的爆发和反复给人们的生活带来了许多变化。在这段时间里，你的生活一定也发生了一些改变。根据下面的提示，写一篇文章。

提示：

1. 你的生活里发生哪些令你意想不到的事情?

2. 你的生活因此发生了怎样的改变

3. 你有怎样的感受?

For now, COVID-19 seems to be under control in China. Our lives have mostly gone back to normal. It was a tough experience for most of us here.

I didn't realize it would affect my life in such a big way. Last year, my new semester was supposed to start in March. But I was told that I would have to study at home. I always dreamed of not having to go to school — my dream came true in an unexpected way. I started homeschooling. At first, I thought it was fun and interesting to talk to my teachers and classmates online. But over time, I got distracted by the internet and had trouble following my teacher. I failed one of my final exams, which really upset me.

I regret that I didn't make better use of my time during the period. I realized self-control is necessary for successful development. I hope I can learn from this.
