刮目相看

Mary Smith is a tall, beautiful girl now. She has changed a great deal in the last five years. She used to be very fat, but now she is slim. She usually went to the dancing hall for fun, but now she often stays home. I remembered seeing her in unattractive clothes, but now she is particular about her clothes. Whenever and whenever she appears, she attracts almost everybody's attention.

玛丽史密斯是一个很高、很漂亮的女孩子。过去五年里她的变化很大。过去她很胖，但是现在她很苗条。她过去常常去舞厅玩，但是现在她经常待在家里。我记得以前看到她的时候，她穿的衣服并不吸引人，但是，现在她对衣服很挑剔。无论何时她出现，她几乎吸引了所有人的注意。
