I asked three of my friends how they had changed since they came to our middle school.  And here are their answers.

Robin

I didn't do well in my study before, but since I began to study in this school, things have changed. The teachers here are all energetic, active and helpful. They always encourage me by saying "I'm sure you can make it" or "You are one of the cleverest students I have ever met". These words really mean a lot to me. Now I'm one of the top students in my class, and I like studying as well.

Dick

I used to be a fat boy who could hardly run 500 meters. When I entered the middle school, my father worried that I would be laughed at by my new classmates, so he decided to do morning exercises with me every day. It really worked. Now I'm used to running and exercising in the morning, and I am slim and strong. Besides, my P. E. teacher thinks I can be a good runner in the future!

JasOn

I used to like to be alone and didn't fee like talking to anyone. But when I met Robin and Dick, I found that they were really good people. Then gradually we became closer and finally became good friends. Thanks to them, I'm talkative and outgoing now, and I have made many other friends. I talk and play with my friends every day and each day I feel happy.
