Topic: Some people prefer to spend their lives doing the same things and avoiding changes . Others , however think that change is always a good thing . Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Most people often say, "Change is inevitable.". Through our lives, we all have to face several changes, no matter they are major or minor ones. There have been controversial debates as to whether to resist or embrace change. However, before identifying my point of view on this, it is necessary to examine both sides carefully.
To begin with, those who think they will embrace changes imply that changes are good, which can make their lives meaningful. Firstly, change is integral part of our lives; it is meant to be an ongoing process that we cannot live without. From the time when we was children to nowadays when we have become parents, we all have been through stages of change. The good example is when a boy is turning a teenager, his body has physically changed to gain more muscles and his voice has changed to more lower tone. Second, a great number of changes do us good. In many cases, we may find that changes make us stronger, more mature, experienced, and fruitful. That is to say, change gives us another way of learning by ourselves.
On the other hand, why does the other group prefer doing the same things day by day or like staying at the same places over time? Undoubtedly, the most reasons are security and familiarity. Most importantly, people by nature believe the same ways of doing things would make their lives more safer. Therefore, embracing changes are considered error-prone processes to them. For example, when people are to change their jobs, this transition may give them much worries as to whether they are going to get a good job or what type of their future colleagues would be. In other way, many pursue doing the same things mainly because they get used to them. They become stuck in their comfort zones, where those habits have been developed unknowingly. However, this group of people have higher chances to lose their opportunities to take steps forward of their lives if those changes happen to be good changes.
After my careful consideration, both sides seems to have their own merits. Even if I myself am a huge fan of combining these two ideas together, however, I personally believe that I rather belong to the first group better. This is because life is considered a dynamic process to me that you will finally find changes are hardly to be stopped from happening. So, I think the best way we can deal with it is trying to keep pace with it at our best.

Firstly, change is an integral part of our lives; it is meant to be an ongoing process that we cannot live without. From the time when we were children to nowadays when we have become parents, we have all been through stages of change. The good example is when a very young boy is turning into a teenager, his body physically changes to gain more muscles and his voice has changed to a lower tone.
Second, a great number of changes do us good. In many cases, we may find that changes make us stronger, more mature, experienced, and fruitful. That is to say, change gives us another way of learning by ourselves.

Hi to a all am a new freind . can someone please correct my essay for the same subject ? thank you in advance Some people prefer to do the same thing all their lives and avoiding change .However, others prefer to change the thing they do so they can acquire a new experience and change their life .
For me, I prefer the second one because always changing what we do brings new experience and renews our lives : First of all , changing what we do is a good idea to acquire a new experience.When you change your work for example to another one, you try to cope with the new work ,you try to practise new strategies of work, you take these strategies from your new friends at your new work .You learn more to do your new work better with the time .For example ,when I took my new work in Saudi Arabia two years ago ,I started to learn new ways of works and make use of of my new colligues’ experiences at that time .My experience before my new work in Saudi Arabia is different from that now ,it becomes better now .in contrast to that ,working the same work for a long time will not give you any chance to acquire any experience so is not good at all to you in your life profession. For example I have a friend of mine who still work in the company that I left before I came to Saudi Arabia .This friend always says that he did not acquire any thing new regarding his experience in his work because there is nothing new .so changing what we do is better to get new experiences.
Secondly ,changing what we do is a reason to renew our life ,change it ,and feel happy with it .if you change what you do ,you will change the way you think of ,,change the people you may meet ,and change your horizons in life .When I was at school ,we removed from our house in Damascus to live in another city ,so I changed my school,I met new friends ,learned some new habits from them and so there was a change in some way in my life . I saw different people that makes my life exciting not boring .That rises my feeling that I am different in a positive way .ON the other hand ,my old friends ,back in Damascus ,who did not change their houses and removed to other cities , did not see what I saw .Their lives did not change ,they feel the same for everything in their life because there is no change,and feel boring in some way or another .So change what we do will change our life in a positive way ,that is why I like always changing .
In conclusion .change what we do is very important to acquire a new experiences and to renew our life |
