【思路点拨】
卡片中的“change”前面有冠词“a”，所以考生准备这个话题的时候讲一种变化，而不是很多或几种变化。当然一种变化可以引起其他方面的变化，但描述的时候还是要集中讲一种变化。以前曾经考过“a positive change” 和“a recent change”。我们要准备的将来的变化内容跟前面两个差不多，但是描述时用到的主要时态是不同的。特别是“would like to”表示想做，但还没做的事情。

【经典回答】
Throughout the 17 years since I was born, I have been wearing short hair for the most time. Now I have decided to keep long hair. It sounds easy. People might say that you don’t need to do anything just to see your hair grow. Well, actually, it is quite difficult for me. As I am quite athletic and keen on basketball，wearing long hair will bring a lot of inconvenience to me. Also, wearing long hair means that I have to spend more time washing my hair, drying my hair and combing my hair every morning. However, although it is quite hard to make the decision, I still have to carry it out.
One reason is that it is really embarrassing to be treated as a boy by strangers, and this has happened to me for several times, but it is not the main reason. The main reason for me to make the decision is to save money. As I am a high school student now and will go abroad to further my study, my parents have spent a lot of money on my tuition and they will spent more in the future. For the reason, I decided to make a change in the future and started to keep long hair. Therefore, I don’t need to go to the barbershop and I will save some money.

【举一反三】idea 和future change都属于抽象的题目，考生采取变抽象为具体的方法描述的时候会容易很多。如：future change可以是学习、工作、外貌等具体的变化。那么idea 可以是每天早起半小时晨读，课前预习、复习；把单位的旧电脑换成新的等。
