I would like to talk about the change in my life that happened last year. I used to stay up late and get up late in the morning. I thought that was the best way for me to use my time more efficiently. Because I love studying and doing things at night. One day I watched a TV program about health living. In the program, the experts say that if we didn’t go to bed before 10-11 o’clock, our body wouldn’t get a good rest. Even if we got up late, then I began to reflect on my own lifestyle and began to feel that I was living a very unhealthy life. I decided to have a change. I began to go to bed before 11. At first it was very difficult for me because I felt hard too far asleep. Then I tried to listen to some soft music and drink a cup of milk before going to bed. After a while I began to get used to my new schedule. However, even without staying up late, I still got up very late in the first two weeks. I began to set my alarm clock and I also asked my mom to keep an eye on me and wake me up in the morning. Of course, my mom was very happy to contribute in my such things. So I feel I can be more productive than before and I can see my morning time well to study. I think it’s very positive change in my life and I’m sure I’ll keep doing it. Sometimes making change isn’t easy but if we try our best, we’ll be able to succeed.

I would like to talk about the change in my life that happened last year. I used to stay up late and get up late in the morning. I thought that was the best way for me to use my time more efficiently because I love studying and doing things at night. One day, I watched a TV program about healthy living. In the program, the experts said that if we didn't go to bed before 10 or 11 o'clock, our body wouldn't get a good rest. Even if we got up late, I began to reflect on my own lifestyle and felt that I was living a very unhealthy life. I decided to make a change. I began to go to bed before 11. At first, it was very difficult for me because I found it hard to fall asleep. Then I tried to listen to some soft music and drink a cup of milk before going to bed. After a while, I began to get used to my new schedule. However, even without staying up late, I still got up very late in the first two weeks. I began to set my alarm clock, and I also asked my mom to keep an eye on me and wake me up in the morning. Of course, my mom was very happy to contribute to such things. Now, I feel I can be more productive than before, and I can use my morning time well to study. I think it's a very positive change in my life, and I'm sure I'll keep doing it. Sometimes making a change isn't easy, but if we try our best, we'll be able to succeed.
