2018年中考上海市英语作文范文二：My progress

　　My progress
　　Life is full of ups and downs, so is my middle school life.
　　I used to be a shy girl who dare not exchange my ideas with my classmates, which is extremely bad for my study. Therefore, I made up my mind to become more outgoing. At first, it was tough for me to involve myself in the group discussion or to join in after-school activities. Luckily, with the encouragement from my friends, I managed to express my own thoughts and do some volunteering in my spare time. It seems that I am not that shy girl any more, which is definitely a great progress I have ever made.
　　Just as an old saying goes, a thousand-li journey begins with the first step. However difficult it is, I should take the first step and make progress little by little.
