Writing task 2

Some people want to have the same lifestyle and don't prefer changing that, whereas, others think that having a change is good. Both the viewpoints have their own benefits and drawbacks. I personally advocate that change is better than doing the same things in life.

Changes may turn out to be good for some people on the other hand, it may be the opposite for the others. Adaptation to changes determines whether it suits a person or not. Some people adapt well to changes other don't. The people who are up for changes think they can learn lots of new skills or have new experiencesof life. For example, people enroll for different courses which they have never ecountered because they want to learn a new skill and explore it. Also, people register for dance classes or gym sessions if they want to start a healthy routine.

On the contrary, there are people who don't wish to change anything about their lifestyle because they want to stay in their comfort zones and don't want to take any unnessesary risks. Another reason might be that they love their current routine and wish to continue doing the same. For example: If an engineer loves his job then he is unlikely to change his field of profession.

In my opinion, I think that changes are good because they make a person more creative and adaptable to different situations. People who like to explore different things tend to be more knowledgeable and sharper in wide range of subjects and topics. They can develop different skills for instance time management and adaptability. Even if life brings some unprecedented changes they can well adapt to those changes than people who don't like changes.

To summarize therefore, changes can be advantageous as well as disadvantageous for different people but in my opinion, changes make a person better in various aspects like their decisiveness.
