TOPIC 91 
 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 those who prefer things to stay the same, while there are others 
who prefer change. My personal preference is to establish a routine and stick 
to it, though this has not always been true of me. 
When I was younger, I wasn’t a creature of habit. I enjoyed change. When 
summers came and I was free from the responsibilities of school, I would 
travel, take off with friends at a moment’s notice, and make decisions from 
day to day. In this way, I had lots of new experiences, met new and 
interesting people, and learned a lot about life. 
These days, I enjoy sticking to a routine. This is partially due to the fact 
that I am a mother of two small children. I find that their lives are happier if 
I don’t upset their schedules too much. For example, we give the children a 
bath every night at 8:00, put them in their pajamas read them stories and put 
them to sleep by 9:00. There are times when this is inconvenient, but 
everyone in the household is happier if we stick to our routine. In addition, 
our friends know when to find us at home and when we are free. This makes 
visiting easier. 
In conclusion, the type of person I am has changed with the circumstances 
of my life. The obligations of my family force me to have a routine. When I 
was young, I enjoyed the suspense and adventure of living a crazy life. Now 
the stability of a household routine suits me better. I think that while most 
people need a minimum amount of security, those who depend on you often 
make a difference in your lifestyle. 
TOPIC 92 
 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People behave 
differently when they wear different clothes. Do you agree that different 
clothes influence the way people behave? Use specific examples to 
support your answer. 
People do behave differently depending on what they are wearing. The 
reason is not because they have changed, but because people’s reactions to 
them has changed. 
Certain clothes are appropriate for certain situations. A man can wear a 
suit to work and a woman can wear something professional looking like a 
skirt and jacket. When everyone dresses the same, there is no problem. It is 
like a uniform. Imagine going to a law office to hire a lawyer. One of the 
lawyers is wearing a suit; the other is wearing jeans. Which lawyer do you 
want to hire? Similarly, a mechanic works on cars all day and wears clothes 
that can get dirty. It would be strange to find a mechanic wearing a coat and 
tie to repair and engine. 
People will treat you differently depending on what you are wearing. It 
will depend on how well they know you and where you are. If your clothes 
are unusual for the situation, they may treat you with disrespect. I remember 
once I had an old army coat. I wore it into a fancy candy shop to buy some 
chocolates. The woman was very suspicious and a little afraid. I couldn’t 
understand her reaction since it was still me underneath my big, old ugly 
green coat. I was dressed like a bum and this caused the salesperson to react 
negatively to me. Consequently, I was even more polite than usual. 
This experience shows me that sometimes I do behave differently because 
of what I’m wearing. In this case, I had to balance my appearance. Still, that 
doesn’t mean that I’m rude if I dress up. 
TOPIC 93 
 Decisions can be made quickly, or they can be made after careful 
thought. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The 
decisions that people make quickly are always wrong. Use reasons and 
specific examples to support your opinion. 
I disagree with the statement that the decisions people make quickly are 
always wrong. However, I think those decisions probably turn out to be 
wrong more often than carefully made decisions do. Usually, fast decisions 
are based on what we call our “gut reactions,” or feelings we have about a 
situation. Sometimes these gut reactions are based on good sense backed by 
experience, but sometimes they’re based on nonsense or poor reasoning. 
Let’s say you’re at work and the boss calls you to his office and tells you 
there’s a big project that needs to be done. He thinks you’re the best person 
for the job, but he needs an answer from you on the spot. He hasn’t told you 
what the project is, but you make the quick decision to accept. This is the 
right quick decision, because you’re basing it on a lot of factors that will 
occur to you later. One is that it wouldn’t make sense for the boss to ask you 
to do something he didn’t think you could handle. That would only hurt his 
business. Plus, doing a good job on this project might help your career. You 
realize it’s good to reach higher, if you want to get ahead. 
But let’s say you’re on a deserted highway late at night and your car 
breaks down. Along comes a car driven by someone who doesn’t seem quite 
right to you. He offers you a ride to the nearest gas station. You make the 
quick decision to accept the ride because it’s late, you’re cold and tired and 
you don’t want to sit there waiting for the highway patrol to arrive. This is a 
case where a quick decision is a wrong decision. You shouldn’t trade your 
personal safety for physical comfort, and if you thought about it, you 
wouldn’t. 
How do you know when it’s okay to make a quick decision? You have to be 
able to guess at the possible benefits versus the possible dangers. If it’s a 
small decision like where to go to lunch, who cares? However, if my whole 
future were at stake, I’d want as much time as I could get to think about it.
