Today I was surprised to see my old classmate, Li Ying, on TV. She finished in first place in an English speech contest. She has changed a lot. She used to be very shy and quiet. She was afraid to speak in front of others, but now she is no longer that shy girl. She is so outgoing. Her speech was very interesting and very well done. I really take pride in her success. People sure change over time. People should be confident in themselves. I want to try my best to improve myself too.

试题分析：本文的写作不难，首先对李英的获得了英语演讲比赛的情况进行简单说明She finished in first place in an English speech contest.然后对她过去的性格，行为进行描述，进而与现在的情况进行对比，如She used to be very shy and quiet. She was afraid to speak in front of others,最后陈述只要相信自己，人肯定是可以通过努力改变的，表明我也要尽最大努力来提升自己I want to try my best to improve myself too.来与主题相呼应。
点评：初中英语的作文，着重考察学生连词成句的能力，要在“准”字上下功夫。在写作中注意人称与谓语动词的数关系和动词时态等诸多方面。在对所出现的问题或是采取的措施描写中注意使用连词或是好的句式如have a  far-reaching effect on sth对…有深远的影响，only 置于句首的倒装及only when …,can we…等。对于中学作文的写作，尽量将所学的知识运用到作文中，写出富于变化、结构紧凑的文章，不要出现中式英文。在平时的练习中，注意多背诵范文，对于写的好的句子进行默写，考试时就能写出准确地道的作文。
