Sample Answer
Over the last half century the pace of change in the life of human beings has increased beyond our wildest expectations. This has been driven by technology and scientific breakthroughs that are changing the way people view the world on an almost daily basis. In other words, change is not always a personal option, but an inescapable fact of life, and it is important that people constantly adapt to keep pace with it.
（首段開篇擺明觀點:改變是不可避免的，人們的腳步應該跟上改變）
Those people who believe they have achieved some security by doing the same, familiar things are living in denial. Even when people believe they are resisting change, they themselves cannot stop the world around them from altering. Sooner or later they will find that the familiar jobs no longer exist, or that the ‘safe’ patterns of behavior are no longer appropriate.
（文章第二段從觀點的反面進行讓步，使得論述更加客觀辯證）
However, reaching the conclusion that change is inevitable is not the same as assuming that change is always for the better. Unfortunately, it is not always the case that new things are promoted because they have good impacts for the majority of people. A lot of innovations are made with the aim of making money for a few individuals. This is because it is the rich and powerful people in our society who are able to impose changes (such as in working conditions or property developments) that are in their own interests.
（本段是文章第三段從正面論證觀點：改變是不可避免的，但並不都是好的）
In conclusion, I would say that change can be stimulating and energizing for individuals when they pursue it themselves. At the same time, not all types of change, including that which is imposed on people, do not necessarily have good outcomes.
（全文總結強調觀點）
