Writing task 2

The word of "change" sometimes sounds frightening for party of people. Some people tend to enjoy by living in their comfort zone and hate to experience of changing, particularly a sudden change. Nevertheless, there are some people who think that change is a favorable choice, especially if it turns to a better side. In this essay, I will discuss both of the views and suggest my opinion.

Some people might avoid the word of "change" because they are too afraid to take the risks, in other words, they do not have adequate courage to do it. Several of them, perhaps, had experienced bad things of change, for instance, failed at one's biggest dream in life and it left them trauma. As a result, they avoid to change. Moreover, people, who live by doing the same things, might think that they are already stable enough. They already live in their comfort zone, so why to take risk of destructing the perfection?

However, there are people who think that change is a good thing. It oftenly happens in youth who still have big ambition. They might think that living by doing the same things will restraint you to thrive your aptitude, while it is important to cutting the edge your skills to get a better job and salary in this era. Some of them might also think that they still have some bad habits that they want to change.

As inferences, there are two sides of people of responding change, eager to do it or avoid it. In my point of view, change is necessary. It does not have to be a global change, but yourself. You only live once that it is important to always try to change to the better version of yourself.
