Change

this is a copy of our practice test for the IELTS (International English Language Test System) exam.

STATEMENT: some people prefer to spend their lives doing the same things and avoiding change. others, however, think that change is always a good thing.

MY ANSWER:

"change is the only constant thing in this world" a certain college Physics professor once said during our classroom discussion when i was still in my second year college. And just like everything else in the world, state of mind changes. Some do it for the better, some for the worst and just enough percentage, some because they are left with no choice.
however, some people find it difficult to move out and walk on a different path, some would prefer doing the same things all over again because those are the things that they do best and they grow as matured individual by doing so. they remain and stayed because in their point of views, thats is where they find stability, assurance and thats what they termed as their "comfort zones".
however, some people thinks that it is good to change. change in terms of place, work, thoughts, physical appearance and the likes. and just recently, a dear teacher told me that she will no longer be teaching english subject by the next semester and she opted to do something else. as i asked her why, she then told me that her "calling" in the education field is fruitfully served and that she will then be venturing to a new job or any worthwhile activities. as i thought about it, moving out and changing minds comes handy, it takes courage, gut and self determination and by doing this, she faces new challenges and adventures, she took the risk and faces the consequences of her own action.
to sum this up, i believe that we need to move out in our comfort zones and learn to embrace change, it takes one great deal of time, effort and will to face new challenges. but it is exciting to meet new people, venture with the new atmosphere and new surroundings, social and personal growth will likely what awaits, and if, just if, in the end of the road we find unfamiliar things, we get hurt by the humps and bumps, remember that these are the consequences of our actions. we need to embrace these things too and we should never give up no matter how disappointed become. through mistakes, we learn our lessons, through lessons, we change.
