题目大意
有些人宁愿做一样的事避免改变，然而其他人认为改变总是好事，讨论双方观点并给出你的观点。
思路解析
这是一道双边类大作文，讨论的是人们应该一成不变还是不断变化。双边类的题目，需要对每个观点分别表达同意或反对，结论就是自己的立场，可以是中立（双方都同意或都反对），也可以是单边支持某一方立场。审题时要注意双方观点里的“avoiding change”和“is always a good thing”，遇到这个词的情况，我们一般都是反对角度切入会更好写，下面就和大家来看下具体观点。
首先来看前者观点的问题。一个人一直做一件事不愿意改变，可能是因为反复做熟悉的事更能给他带来安全感，改变意味着他会面对一个新的挑战和陌生的环境，这过程中往往会伴随着风险。但是一直一成不变在现实中并不可行，因为这个时代是在不断变化的，一些以前受人尊敬、能赚取很高收入的岗位在现在不再吃香甚至会被淘汰，比如BB机时代有一个岗位叫传呼员，在移动电话普及后便逐渐被消亡了。因此，忽视现实的情况而执着于做一件事，同样会给自己的事业和生活带来风险。
再来看后者的观点的问题。有两方面，一是虽然改变可能会带来好处，但如果是漫无目的、缺乏意义的变化，只会让人停滞不前。同样拿工作来说，一个人愿意坚持多年从事同一份工作可以积累更多的经验、人脉和技术，这些会助力其获得晋升和获得更高的收入。但如果其缺乏耐心和目标，在短时间内不断更换工种，大概率会难以学到任何有用的东西，变得碌碌无为、一事无成。因此，改变可能带来收益，但前提是需要有目标有机会的去做出决定。二是改变是有成本的，但并不是所有人都足以承受这个成本或拥有相应的能力。比如，老年人的学习能力和适应能力相对较弱，让大多数老年人改变原有生活习惯去熟练掌握使用电子产品，这多多少少有些强人所难了。
范文示例
I shall argue in this article how irrational people establish the disparity of the core topic of life alternation into the both listed extremes, since the life pace should not be maintained without any change, and it is also absurd for people to alter their livings in a constant way.
Absurdity may be witnessed when people permanently keep their obstinate, immutable life paces isolated from the outside changing world. Clearly, this state of mind may be topped by many to their priority, just because of their lack of sense of security to the technically booming society. Voters in this cohort typically do not mind a bit of modernizations of their livings and a short departure of their established life orbit, but fret that truly overwhelming transformation of their life would lead to them being “swamped” by the brand-new mode and format. This, they fear, would make life unable to keep up with their surroundings, since the constant learning process would be needed for adjusting themselves in the new livings, and perhaps threaten the original values and living conditions. Whereas the potential psychology of hard-wired playing safe may preclude them from doing any attempt to experience the profits and conveniences brought by the innovative techniques and boomingly scientific benefits, or become much worse, until they realise that they are even pushed away from their initial tracks when distant from what they persistently chase for, since those goals have also changed anyway following the world.
Though the myopic thinking exhibited in the paragraph above may somewhat become the obstacle for people from looking at the world in a well-rounded way, to over-handle one’s life to catch up with every living swerve may be also way too simple-minded. A series of moderate changes in terms of the living habit, common values, destinations or even the ambitions, for adapting oneself to the practical, utilitarian society may sound acceptable, but a free border of making restless turns only brings calamities not contributions. Today the world is changing minutely following the pace of the digital improvement computed via the silicon bridge processors, with newly produced commodities dominating the market with a sound-speed. It is hardly far-fetched to imagine that frequent alternations to follow up the surroundings, the new livings or the values wandering alongside the social mainstream may immediately make one ambiguous about what he is pursuing, and what is truly worth doing. Besides, the continual variations may bring more expenditures, financially and physically, leading to strains on one’s welfare states, since one must purchase more commodities or living experience to learn about changes.
In conclusion, the alternation of life is not the dreaded monster distracting one’s life from its stability, or the admirable monument erected for one to head as the destiny. Position should be rooted to face squarely the change of life in a rational way.
