22. 积极人生变化Part 2Describe a change that made your life positive描述一次令你的生活更积极的改变You should say:When it wasWho you were withWhat happenedAnd explain why it changed your life示范答案：I have always been free with my money. Truth to be told, I would splurge lavishly on cosmetics and clothes. Once, I even bought a name-brand lipstick on the spur of the moment, which cost me an arm and a leg. But recently, I had a sea change and I transformed from a lavish person to a thrifty critter.It took place about 3 months ago. I came to the realization that I needed to change, because my bestie told me I was brainwashed by consumerism. All the brand premium and seemingly classy and upscale stuff are just ripping me off. So she took me out for a hiking, convincing me that happiness comes from within and cost you nothing.That day, we took a walk on the seaside, enjoying the gentle breeze and the warm sunshine. We could hear the seagulls and the whistle of the ships. And we sat on the beach, having a chitchat and enjoying the sparkling hues and tints of the sunset. Normally, I would go to the shopping malls on weekends, squandering money. But that day, we spent only 20 yuan on two coconut drinks. I guess I had a paradigm shift after that and I benefited from it a lot.The nature, the leisure and the company from a best friend, these will cost you nothing, but give you the joy that money can not buy. At the beginning, I was not quite used to this new habit, but I know that it takes change to make change. So 3 months later, I changed into a frugal person.Part 31.Do you like new things or changes in life?I absolutely thrive onnewexperiences andchangesin life.
