27)Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy doing. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

When we are children, we constantly complain about having to do things that we do not want to do, like doing homework or taking out the garbage. As we grow older and become more mature, we start to see that sometimes we have to do things in life that we really do not enjoy doing. After we grow up, we have to do things we do not want to do sometimes because we take on responsibilities and we might also learn about something new that can enhance our lives.

As a member of a family, a group of friends, a team or company, people have obligations and responsibilities that they cannot ignore. For example, if a couple gets married and plan spending their lives together, they have to realize that being in love is not the only requirement for a happy and fruitful life. Unless they are born rich or win the lottery, they will have to work. Traditionally, the husband is responsible for providing food and a place to live, not to mention extras like cable TV and a car. If the husband gets tired of working, should he just quit? Especially, if the couple has a child, the husband must find the strength to continue working in order to fulfill his obligations and responsibilities to his family.

In addition, we can learn something new by doing something that we do not want to do. There might be a bright side to doing things that we do not want to do. For example, if you are working in an office, doing boring, routine, but easy tasks day after day, it will probably become hard to bear. However, a situation might come along where you are asked to do something different outside of your regular duties. Maybe you work in the accounting department, and the marketing department needs help on something. Though you do not want to do the extra work, you may discover a strong interest in marketing that you can develop and make part of your career. In this way, by doing something that you initially do not want to do, you may learn of an interest that you were not aware of.

Having to do things that we do not want to do is a normal part of human life, whether as a child or an adult. We have to accept this situation as adults because as we grow older, we take on more responsibilities, such as a family. Additionally, having to do something we do not enjoy might turn out to be a benefit by teaching us something new and interesting that we were unaware of. For these two reasons, we should accept the fact that we sometimes have to do things that we do not want to do.
