A Change in Life

Tell me about a great change that occurred at some point in your life

You should say:

What the change was and when it happened

If it was special for you or usual for all people

How it has changed your life

And please explain your feelings about it.

Honestly I haven’t thought about this much. The one and only great change I can think of now is leaving school. Look, after going to school for more than 16 years, all of my life has been so used to school, my daily schedule, my mindset, my social life, etc. The world outside the school seems so familiar and yet so strange. My feelings are mixed with ambition, hope, expectation, as well as uneasiness, insecurity and worries. It is such a difficult time. I am like a person lost in the no-man’s land, not knowing where to turn. Anyway, most people have to face this change once they leave school. It is a total challenge. But just as one great mind has once said, “l(fā)ife is always full of changes and uncertainties; we just do all that we can and hope for the best.”

人生當中充滿了變化和不確定，如：上大學，然后畢業(yè)離開學校步入社會，或者首次離開自己的家庭，初次參與工作，結(jié)婚，生子等等。但是人生總要在這些變化中尋找出路，開創(chuàng)輝煌（change is just a path into another phase of life; one needs not only to get used to it, but also make use of it）。

What are some important changes that people generally have?

As far as I know it, graduation from college, joining the workforce, marriage and the birth of the child all are very important changes that most people would have to go through at certain time of their life.

How can family and society help young people to cope with changes?

It will be of great help for one’s family to stand together with him or her and give support along with suggestions in times of need.
