This experience benefited me a lot. And if that’s true for me, then it might truly be possible to change the world for the better.

Dear editor,
I was walking past a shop window the other day when I saw my reflection. At first, I didn’t realise it was me. When I saw it was me, I felt sad as I am overweight. I didn’t realise how I looked, and I really want to change. I really like eating, but I realise I eat too much, and I don’t eat good things.
I want to change because I want to be able to look at myself and feel happy with how I look. I also want to be healthy.
My plan is to change my diet and exercise routine. I will stop eating sugar, and only eat at mealtimes rather than eating snacks during the day. I will focus on healthy foods. Then I will exercise every day. I will walk to school and back, and on the weekend, I will go swimming. I have only been doing my plan for a week, but I’m already starting to feel better. I haven’t lost a lot of weight yet, but to do anything makes me feel positive. I feel confident I will reach my goal!
Yours sincerely,
A . Smith
Sample writing:
One year ago, I got into a habit of eating a lot of junk food and snacks. Besides, I spent a lot of time on sofa, watching TV, and did little exercise. As a result, I put on so much weight that I found it difficult to climb the stairs.
So I decided to change the unhealthy lifestyle. Not only did I begin to have a balanced diet, but I also took an active part in various sports activities such as swimming, skating, running and playing basketball. Months later, I became as fit as before. I will keep on exercising and have a healthy lifestyle.
A healthy diet and regular exercise may help to prevent obesity among children. Take action now and start to change your lifestyle and yourself.
