IELTS Essay: Life And Changes: Please let me know what my mistakes are. Thanks in advance
Question:
Some people enjoy change, and they look forward to new experiences. Others like their lives to stay the same, and they do not change their usual habits. Compare these two approaches to life. Which approach do you prefer? Explain why.
There are two methods of living chosen by people. The first one is a method in which people prefer their usual habits and the same life without any change and the other is a method wherein people like to change their lives and habits and experience new things. I would like to say that personally I prefer to experience new environments and new things in my life.
People who like to have a life full of experiences usually take risks to change their lives towards having a more exciting life. There are several benefits to this approach of living; such as, getting experience about the meaning of life, knowing about other people’s cultures and traditions, making new friends, and changing jobs or finding appropriate work or a promotion in their current job. For example, a person who takes risk and quits his or her current job to go to another country to find a satisfying job would become familiar with new cultures, new friends and may find a fulfilling job. Although it is possible that the changes may not reach expectations, the person could achieve other priceless things.
On the other hand, there are some people who are dependent on their habits and situations. They prefer to stay the same throughout their life. Some of them are closely attached to their routines and some are afraid of changes and of taking risks. Staying the same in life will contribute to experiencing the same things, the same people and cultures, the same job and salary. This depends on what a person expects from life and how life could make the person satisfied.
In my opinion, changing your life and routines to get a sufficient and satisfying life could be more enjoyable than staying the same throughout your whole life. Learning by experience lets one know the world and themselves much better.
All in all, I think the life people choose to live depends/is based on on their personal attitiude. The most important thing is that the person is happy with the life he or she is living.
