Describe a change in your life.

You should say:

  • What the change was
  • When it happened
  • Why it happened

And explain how you have benefited from this change.

Sample Answer

I would like to talk about one of the greatest transformations in my life. I used to weigh around 65 kilos and after about 6 months of continuous dieting and working out, I successfully lost 15 kilos.

When I was a teenager, I mainly subsisted on fast foods such as fried chicken, hamburgers or crisps. And with a number of high school exams I was often forced to stay up late and eat even more. As a result, I put on weight rapidly and one day, when I stepped on a scale, it read 65 kilos, and I knew that I had to start my weight- loss journey or I would become overweight.

After consulting my aunt, who worked as a nutritionist, I understood that losing weight was all about diet and exercise. Firstly, I cleaned out my fridge of all my favourite unhealthy foods, and began cooking homemade meals. I also drank at least 2 litres of water a day instead of soft drink. Secondly, I registered at my local gym and started to workout at least three times a week. And as well as this, I started going to bed early at night and waking up at 5 am to go biking every morning.

After 6 months of working out regularly and resisting junk food, my weight dropped to 50 kilos. However, it was not only about the weight loss, but also about the changes in my health. I felt stronger and happier than ever before. I rarely got sick and my skin also looked brighter. More importantly though, I regained my selfconfidence. I used to run and hide from cameras, but now I am much more comfortable being photographed.

And the best thing is that I am now able to finally wear my old dresses and skinny jeans.
