Answer:
Here are some thoughts on two possible topics for the discussion:
1. “Change is welcome only when the outcomes are positive.” Change is unavoidable. But as humans, we have different ways of reacting to it depending on its outcome. If we view the outcome as positive, we are happy with the change and easily accept it. But if we view the outcome as negative or upsetting, we try to resist or deny the change. These two ways of reacting to change can be seen in both individuals and society as a whole. For example, students at a middle school might resist a change in school hours if it means having to get up earlier. But if the change means students can sleep in and arrive at school later, they might happily accept the new hours.
When a change is unavoidable and brings a negative outcome, it helps to change our outlook. Often, we focus only on the negative outcome of a change and overlook any positives. It will be easier to accept a negative change if we consider its positives. When my family had to relocate to Chicago, I resisted because it meant I would lose all my friends. But if I had focused on how I would get to live in a new place and make new friends, maybe the change would have been easier.
2. “It can be very hard to change yourself.” Who doesn’t want to change for the better? But change doesn’t happen overnight. It takes a lot of determination and hard work to bring about a change. Often, we tend to underestimate the efforts it takes to bring about a change. When we don’t see a quick change, we lose hope and give up trying altogether.
My cousin went through something similar. He joined a gym to get stronger and healthier. But within a week, he wanted to quit. He found the workouts tough and expected to see big changes in a week. Thankfully, his trainer encouraged him to stick to his routine. And after a month, he felt much healthier and fitter. Now he loves to get out and exercise. If my cousin had given up when he wanted to, he would have never seen the change in his health that he desired. Only by sticking to our goals can we expect to achieve a desired change.
Explanation:
This is the sample answer so make sure that you change it up a little :)
#1 would be either d or b I narrowed it down.
#2 would be c or the other answer it might be b from there chose and use notes !!
I think the answer is the second phrase <span>books became available to many people throughout Europe
The need of printing arose when people are becoming more intellectual during the medieval ages. Many writers around this time believed that it is very expensive to hire scribes. They believe that it takes time and effort to train them to write a perfect manuscript. Thus, Gutenberg decided to create a printing press. Because of this, books become available throughout Europe and all over the world.
