Some people like to try new things, for example, places to visit and types of food. Other people prefer to keep doing things they are familiar with. Discuss both these attitudes and give your own opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Some
people
always yearn for new experiences in
life
and are never afraid of trying new
things
. Others,
on the contrary
, are happy doing the same thing and living in the same place all through their
life
primarily because they do not like changes.
This
essay will discuss both these attitudes. Personally, I believe that a community that embraces changes and dares to try new
things
live
life
to the fullest.
To begin
with, the folk who try new
things
are often risk-takers and adventure seekers. They believe that
life
is a constant journey, and they often have an unquenchable thirst to visit as many places as they can, try as many dishes as they come across, take part in numerous adventurous activities and try different career paths in their
life
.
Such
people
take risks in their personal and professional
life
.
This
is why they are either hugely successful or live a nomadic
life
.
For instance
, one of my university friends started travelling when all others were busy looking for a job. Due to
this
, he was struggling financially while others were stable in their jobs and earnings.
However
, after ten years of our graduation,
this
friend, who is
also
a famous travel blogger on YouTube and an investigative journalist, earns at least 10 times higher than any of us.
This
success is not always assured but comes to those who embrace non-traditional
life
and try new
things
.
On the other hand
, many
people
are just happy doing the same thing over and over again and trying the
things
they are already familiar with.
This
approach involves fewer perils but often lacks big rewards and experience in
life
. Due to
this
mentality, many
people
are not interested in moving to a different city or trying a new career path despite their potential of doing something greater and bigger. Interestingly, many
people
who are afraid to take perils or try new stuff often claim to live a less complicated
life
.
For example
, I have seen a person who always keeps himself restricted by a boundary and does not like hiking new apex or taking the challenge to win any unfamiliar event. But I believe that
this
is not a way to live
life
to the fullest as it lacks adventure and never brings out our true potential in
life
.  To conclude, doing the same stuff and living in the same place come with little risk, but lack adventure and tremendous rewards. Contrary to
this
, taking challenges and embracing new
things
come with enormous danger but the rewards are
also
huge.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.
