Frank | I used to have long hair and look really thin. And I was kind of serious, too. But now I have short blond hair and I'm of medium build. I've become more outgoing and I like to smile a lot. The only problem is that I have to wear glasses because I watch too much TV. |
Cindy | Do you think I'm a smart and nice girl? But I used to be kind of fat because I exercised little and ate lots of junk food. Now I usually do more sports every day and I hardly eat junk food. I used to be active, but now I'm a little serious. Maybe that's because I always have too much stress from my school! |
Peter | You can't imagine how much I've changed these years. I used to play online games, but now I like exercising. And soccer is my favorite sport. I used to hate all my subjects, but now I'm one of the top students in my class. I used to eat so much junk food and get sick easily, but now I only like healthy food. |
Helen | I used to be too shy to speak in public. So I had few close friends. But now I love talking and many true friends are around me. I used to be afraid of the dark, but now I'm brave enough to stay at home alone for a week. If you'd like to change yourself, ask me! |
