34、nces, hopes, memories or feelings? If you dont, its time to make a change now. Here is why.You will gradually become better at expressing yourself.

She was very shy and never talked to anyone when she first came to my class. She was sitting next to me.

91、As time went by, we became friends. She changed a lot in the following years. Now she is no longer a shy girl. Instead, she has become easy-going and friendly. We often laugh aloud together. My friend Lisa and I met at the school music club. We became friends because we both love music so much. Im glad that I have so many good friends in my life.Thats all. Thank you.
