People naturally resist making changes in their lives. What kind of problems can this cause? What solutions can you suggest?

There is a sentence meaning: “Rivers have their smooth areas as well as their rough regions, and the life of human beings go up at this time and go down at another time”. Therefore, people have to renew themselves, keep learning new things to overcome challenges. People, however, naturally refuse to make changes in their lives. This leads them to be unable to adapt to new environments.

Growing up, studying, making friends, and getting jobs… are these important issues of everyone’s life. Every issue is put into different situations which have various difficulties and require some specific skills. For instance, the environment between high school and university is not the same. In high school, teachers pay full attention to you, make sure that you understand deeply subjects, do homework, and learn lessons by heart. On the contrary, you have to motivate yourself to study. That is not teachers’ duty. If you don’t make changes in your study methods, and still wait for help from the teachers, your study will decrease dramatically and you surely get bad results.

Making changes is difficult but doesn’t mean that we can’t do it. In my opinion, there are some steps to help you to get into a new habit. First step is to change your mind. You should carefully consider advantages and drawbacks between new things and old ones. For example, sending mails through internet is quicker, cheaper, and more convenient than doing them by hand. Next, you should learn it a little everyday, ask the help of your family and your friends. Finally, you will be an expert.

In conclusion, the world’s today doesn’t stand at the same point, but always changes every minute. If you don’t update, study new technologies, and skills continuously, you will be out of touch with the world.

A nice flowing essay, but stop using contractions. They are frowned upon in the TOEFL exam.
