1 The two idioms are a change for thebetter and a change
of heart Ring the changes,the unit title, is also an idiom
Note that you can also say achange for the worse.
Possible answers
The earliest change I can remember is when my family
moved to a newhouse It was definitely achange for the
better, as I had my own large bedroom and the house had
a much bigger garden
The most unexpected change in my life took place when I
won a substantial amount ofmoney inacompetition,
which allowed me to take a breakfrom work
The biggest change in my lifeinvolving people came
about when my father remarried, and,overnight, the
number of children in ourfamily grew from two to six
When I left home and went to university,Imoved to the
opposite side of the country,which was very different
from where I had grown up
I found some old letters the other day,which I had kept
formore than twenty years - but Ihada sud en change
of heart and burnt the lot!
