Sample Answer
The diagrams illustrate the changes in the community center before and after the decoration.
It is noticeable that the whole area for indoor activity has been expanded over the 10-year period. The most significant change is that the initial garden was replaced by inner sports.
Inhabitants can enter the reception through a door as before. In the center of the community center, there is a hall which can accommodate 100 people at the same time, and this is also the same as before. However, north to the hall, the large storage room has been divided into two parts, namely, a smaller storage and toilets.
The coffee bar is no longer a part of the community center. Instead, an office equipped with toilets has taken its place. Also, four offices in the northeast corner and the storage opposite to the kitchen disappeared. A newly-built café area occupies this area and is open to all visitors currently. Finally, the kitchen and parking lot are still in use.

It is true that seeking for a decent job is not as easy as decades ago due to the economic recession and competitive job market. Although some may argue that a sense of satisfaction towards their jobs is crucial, personally, I believe that a permanent job is more meaningful.
On the one hand, a permanent job can guarantee to meet employee’s basic needs. This is because almost no one can escape from the reality. Everyday, we are facing with a variety of expenses, such as food, shelter, transport, bill and even education tuition for children. With a relatively stable job, people, especially those in middle aged can cover most expenses. In addition, those who stay in the same company or institute are more likely to get a promotion as they show the loyalty towards their company. However, those who change their jobs frequently may meet unintended outcomes. For example, they may find difficult to support themselves and raise their family members.
On the other hand, those advocates for pursuing a job they love might regard job satisfaction as the priority when finding an employment. They believe only working with friendly colleagues and employers and under a flexible working time schedule, can they fulfill their potential and accomplish all tasks well. However, this idea is unrealistic. For example, dozens of young graduates have the bitter result because of their immature thought, that is unemployment.
In my opinion, there is no perfect job in the world. The only thing we can do is to find a suitable job rather than a perfect one. There is a 10,000 hours theory in psychology that people who devote themselves to jobs and spend more than 10,000 hours constantly can become experts in that field. This theory tells us a plain fact that no one can achieve a sense of job satisfaction without years of efforts and persistence.
In conclusion, people having a constant job are more likely to have a promising job career and wellbeing.
