IELTS Writing Task 2

Topic: Some people prefer to spend their lives doing the same things and avoiding change. However, others think that change is always a goods thing.

Discuss both points of view and give your opinion.


Lifestyle is the main feature in society. Some conservatives considered the change in lifestyle and culture can lead to violence and disaster. However, lifestyle and social changes can result in enhancement and advancement. Thus, habitual change is a wishful method to invent and develop society.

Ancient living was a pure society in which there was no exploitation, and people usually helped each other in any obstacles. However, due to the change in this culture, whole societies have suffered from violence and jealousy. For example, some tribes in virgin forest in the Amazon basin and others in Africa live in peace and solidarity with their traditional agriculture and fishery, and they share everything. Therefore, keeping the same culture might be the source of peace.

However, change is inevitable because the nature of human is ambitious for prosperity, advancement and convenience. And if people keep living in the same lifestyle, they would not enjoy with present prosperity. An example of the first steam engine, invented by Englishman Thomas Newcomen, had been changed and developed several times from size to methodology. This movement is regarded as the sources of industrial revolution. Thus, change provides opportunities for growth.

Furthermore, change or revision is a vital component in management, particularly decision - and policy-making, in order to adjust to current situation because no one has a perfect plan. Country or people can be negatively affected from sticking to old-fashioned decision and laws. For instance, Cambodian assembly had made amendment to some articles in constitution to break through the political bottleneck after national election. Therefore, change can promote political stability and development.

In conclusion, change is inevitable and can bring a lot of advantages to society such as prosperity, advancement and conform-ability.
