WRITING TASK 2
Write about the following topic:
"Some people prefer to spend their lives doing the same things and avoiding change.
Others, however think that change is always a good thing."
Discuss both these views and give your own opinion
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or
experience.
The change in life is a matter of dispute. Some people hope to spend their lives doing
the same things and refuse to change, while others believe that it is always a great idea
that people change constantly. I myself prefer the latter idea; however, my essay will
analyze both of them.
It is widely believed that doing the same things makes you settle down. The change
does not guarantee you stability. Hardly can you face risks and difficulties if you do not
change your job, your house and many other things. If you are public employee on the
payroll, you may live a life without worrying about unemployment. Economically
speaking, a number of companies go bust because their chiefs change their minds. In
terms of education, generations of students have tired and stressed due to the constant
change of government about studying methods.
Opponents of avoiding change argue that people have to change to survive and live
well. By changing, you always have the feeling that you are refreshed and updated the
cutting edge, you seem to be accessible to new things. It is the fact that avoiding
change means that you go against the innovation. The more you change the more
modern person you become. From economic view, the powerful enterprises are the
ones that can be able to innovate themselves. Take Facebook and Yahoo as good
examples. About 5 years ago, Yahoo was still a high-powered empire with millions of
users but it did not change to suit the tastes of netizens that it soon lagged behind
Facebook. Latest statistics have shown that half of online world uses Facebook.
Medically speaking, the world cannot reach great achievement like today if scientists
and doctor did not change and improve the old medicines and medical methods.
In a nutshell, changing and spending lives doing the same things are good but people
should decide sensibly what to do. Changing or changing nothing at the right time
makes you successful.
