Topic: 50
I am not a risk taker. I like to do just those things that I am proficient at. I have learned that it is better to focus my attention, do one thing and do it well, and not try anything new.

When I was younger, I was always experimenting with a lot of different things. First I wanted to be a dress designer so I studied drawing. I couldnt draw so I decided to be a veterinarian, because I liked animals. I didnt like to see sick animals so I decided to be a historian. That suited me perfectly since all I had to do was sit in a library and read. I learned to focus my attention on one subject.

I’m a very good reader and history is very interesting to me. 1 decided not to read any other subject. I only read history books. I even focused my attention on Chinese history. I only read history books on Chinese history. I do one thing and I do it well.

I dont like to try anything new. If I read things in another area, I dont do well. I dont understand American history or English history. The names are confusing and the stories not interesting to me. I dont want to learn about anything else. Chinese history is my subject.

I may seem a bit stubborn, but I have learned what makes me happy. I dont like to take a risk with new things. I like to focus my attention on one subject, do it well, and not try anything new.

［托福参看范文之二］
When asked about the approaches to life, many people have the idea that change and new experiences bring us a meaningful life. However, others take the view that staying the same and not changing the usual habits is the better way of the life. In fact both approaches have its advantages and disadvantages, which are listed as follows.

Some people believe change and new experiences provide us a meaningful life because when we adapt to the change and new environments, we must face the difficulties and try our bests to overcome them. This process not only builds our personality, but also gives us a varied and meaningful life. What’s more, the change around us improves our adaptation and independence.

They have a benefit for us to compete for survival in the society. Let’s suppose we always stay the same and do not change the environment. Then if someday we have to step into another environment, how can we adapt to in?

On the other hand, people who hold an opposite view consider that sticking to usual habits is the better way to life. They point out that the longer you keep the same habits, the more adaptive you are and you may live comfortably. They firmly point out that usual changes make you acquaint with nothing, and then it is impossible for you to have a happy life. In order to see this point clearly, they give us g good example: If you change your environment every month, you have to
always change your habits and customs. Then how can you have a meaningful life?

As far as I am concerned, the advantages of change carry more weight than those of staying the same because I need to improve my adaptation. Only in this way, can I survive in the society after my graduation.
