Band 5

Some people believe that it is best to accept a bad situation, such as an unsatisfactory job or shortage of money. Others argue that it is better to try and improve such situations. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

When a terrible
situation
 has appeared in someone’s life, there are usually two options for that person to choose. You can either accept or make an
attempt
 to improve the
situation
. In
this
 essay, I will express my view on both of these options in detail. In a bad

such
 as an unsatisfactory

 or shortage of money, some
people
 will accept the circumstances as it is ,mainly because they view it as a

On the other hand

situation
 itself. If you believe the
situation
 could be better you can take the risk of failing and
attempt
 to

 the
situation
, but if you view the
situation
 as a lost cause you can accept the
change
 as it will benefit you more that way.
