Change
Change has been an important and popular concept in the world since American President Obama said” Change has come to America” in his election speech. In our daily life, changes are going on all around us. Take the way of having holidays as an example. In the past, people used to spend holidays at home, watching TV and getting relaxed. Nowadays, more and more people prefer to spend time in traveling when there are holidays. The Spring Festival, May Day and National Day are the most popular holidays in China because people have more time to travel during these three holidays. This is a small change in people’s habits to spend holidays and it shows that people’s living standards have been greatly improved.
There are also many other changes around us, such as changes in the environment, in public transportation, in climate, etc. Some of the changes are good while some are not. We hope that there are more good changes rather than bad ones. Only with good changes can the world and the society become more harmonious.
