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?

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.

I'm glad that you are interested in poverty alleviation in my hometown. I am proud to say that great changes have taken place in the past few years.

People in my hometown used to make a living in big cities, leaving their kids at home. But with the help of the local government, they no longer need to live that way. They can now stay in the hometown and still enjoy a good life. For example, many of them are selling fruit online. The government has also made efforts to improve the environment. The river that flows through my hometown is getting cleaner. Trees have been planted as well. We are starting to receive tourists.

I'm looking forward to your visit in the future. You can see how things have changed with your own eyes.

Yours,

Li Hua

We often go out to eat on weekends. We sometimes go shopping for trendy clothes and like to travel during holidays.

China's development has improved our living standards and enriched our lives. There are better movies and TV shows these days.

This was really convenient for many of us.

When I was in sixth grade, my school arranged for all of its students to get vaccinated for flu (流感).

I remember it was bright and early that day. We lined up outside the hall to get vaccinated one by one. Our teacher told us that vaccines can help prevent the spread of the flu. But I was still very scared because of some of the students' reactions. Some covered their eyes and opened their mouths wide. Others turned their faces away and cried. The longer I waited, the more nervous I became. Then it was my turn.

After a few simple questions, the doctor began to clean my skin. My heart was in my throat. I just hoped it would be over quickly. But when I got the injection (注射), I didn't feel much pain.

After the injection, I don't think it is scary anymore. I won't be afraid again.

Person BRe: Personally, I won't get the vaccine, at least nor for now…

YouRe:

I'm willing to get vaccinated, too. Since there is no medicine that can be used to treat this disease, a vaccine will be a better choice for stopping the virus. The COVID-19 vaccine is hoped to effectively prevent people from being infected by the virus. Vaccines are the key to ending epidemics and achieving herd immunity. Although the vaccine might have side effects, these are rare. I have faith in the safety and effectiveness of China's vaccines. I hope to get one myself.

Food waste has become a big problem these days. It not only causes environmental pollution, but also destroys (毁掉) the fruit of farmers' hard work. And there are still many people around the world who don’t have enough food to eat.

Knowing the importance of avoiding wasting food, I always try my best to do it. For example, I order just enough food when I'm eating at a restaurant and I often take the leftovers home if I can't finish the dishes. I always clear my plate every time I eat at home and school as well.

By doing my part to save food, I get a sense of achievement and satisfaction. I also realize that we can all make a difference as long as we take action.
