IELTS essay, topic: Change is always a good thing, agree or disagree? (IELTS essay of Band 6)


Some people prefer to spend their lives doing the same things and avoiding changes. Others, however think that change is always a good thing. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

Nowadays, people are arguing whether an ideal lifestyle should be a stable one or in wide ranges of changes.
In my opinion, whether changes are needed - should be determined - the stages of lives you are in.

Apparently, alternations in lives are favourable to the development of young people, in regards to their careers. Primarily, abundant experience in varieties of jobs enables the young to master a broad range of techniques and skills, leading to - significant edge over the counterparts in the competition of employment. Meanwhile, trying various roles of lives and jobs provides - wide selections of lifestyles for the young in the future. Only after this comparison can they realize what the real goals of their lives should be striven for.

However, other than frequent changes, the elderly who have undergone all these challenges may pursue a steady lifestyle. For the elders, concentration on their favourite activities would give rise to a sense of enjoyment and security, which is helpful to physical and psychological health. Due to a stable life, the elderly are less exposed to stress, leading to a decrease in adrenal hormones and resulting in their well-beings.

Furthermore, degeneration of mental and physical function would make the elderly unlikely to adapt to external changes, causing frustrations and depressions, which are not favourable to their health.

Above all, it is unlikely to describe the changes in life with a positive or negative term. Accommodation of personal needs and goals are more important than the changes themselves.
