Writing task 2

Change is inevitable, it is one of the only things that stays constant. However, not everyone likes change, some people prefer to do the same things their whole lives and avoid change; while other people think change is always a good thing. This may or may not be the case, while, yes, change is constant, it doesn't mean it is a bad thing, nor does it mean it is always a good thing. Change has developed today's world from last century's, but it has also brought with it many drastic changes that are not always good.

Technology has always been thought of as a constant in this world, from laptops to televisions to smartphones, technology is everywhere. If the twenty-first where to resemble two century's ago many wouldn't know what to do, there weren't any things we have today, such as laptops and cars, that have made living a lot easier. What brought technology around was change.

However, change is not always a good thing. Change can force us out of our jobs, habits, or even home's . Change comes in many different ways to several people. It is at times inevitable, and can be destructive. Change could come in a war that forces you out of your home, or it could be a virus that forces you to stay at home, where you lose your job in the process.

To conclude, change is not always soft and gentle, it is not always a positive thing, nor is it a negative affair. Change could be an upheave or it could be a revolution. However, after a storm there's always rainbow. Change is inevitable, it is one of the only constants in this world. In my opinion, it really depends on the person; whether they see a storm, or a rainbow at the end, whether change is always a good or bad thing.
