动词不定式to believe +that从句；第二句的结构是it’s+adj.+（for）sb.+to do sth.意为“做某事对某人来说...”

【参考范文】
一 How I’ve Changed!
My life has changed a lot in the last few years. I used to be short, but now I’m one of the tallest students in my
class. I used to be shy and quiet, but now I’m outgoing and I like to make friends. I used to hate reading, but now I
have fallen in love with it.
The most important change in my life was becoming interested in reading. Last summer my best friend
gave me an interesting book to read. I enjoyed it so much that I started to read other books. It was the most important
change because reading gives me a lot of knowledge and makes me very happy. As a famous saying goes,
“Reading makes a full man”.
