Change is all around us.
变化无处不在。
People change, trees change, even something like your house will change over time.
人会变，树也会变，就连你的房子也会随着时间的推移而发生变化。
A rock out in the wilderness will slowly change as the weather ages it.
矗立在荒野中的岩石会随着时间的推移而逐渐发生变化——风霜雨雪等自然因素会对其表面造成侵蚀和破坏。
So we are surrounded by things that change, and we ourselves also change over time.
因此，我们周围的一切都在不断变化，而我们自己也会随着时间的推移而发生变化。
So I thought I would do an English lesson.

I usually write very simple examples, but this time I tried to up the difficulty slightly, just to challenge you.

And to me, this is the classic example: the caterpillar will change into.
对我来说，这就是一个典型的例子：毛毛虫会变成蝴蝶。
A butterfly.
一只蝴蝶。
Sometimes we just say change to, like the caterpillar will change to a butterfly, but it sounds better to me if we use into,
有时候我们只是简单地说“变化成……”，比如毛毛虫会变成蝴蝶。不过在我看来，使用“变成……”这个表达方式会更准确、更生动。
and I think that is the most correct way to say it.
我认为这就是最准确的表达方式。
