One possible version:
Do you prefer staying in a place all your life?
There is a widespread concern over whether it' s a bad thing that people live in a place all their life. But it' s well known that one man' s meat is an-other man' s poison.
A majority of people think that staying in a place for a long time is a better choice. In their view there are two reasons contributing to this attitude as follows: in the first place, people who stay in one spot can develop a life-time friendship, and such a friend will give a hand without hesitation if trou-ble comes. In the second place, when people move to different places, they usually are under pressure from strangeness. A person may feel lost and tense in a place where streets, stores and schools are all different. As a say-ing goes: Fear always springs from ignorance.
People, however, differ in their opinions on this matter. Some people
hold the idea that people shouldn' t live in one place through their lives. In their points of view, on the one hand, people who spend a lifetime in one lo-cation can be locked into a limited way of life. A real problem is that life lacks passion. On the other hand, those who move frequently have a variety of outlooks. There is a chance to appreciate different ways of life.
As far as I am concerned, I finally agree the view that people shouldn't stay in a place all their lives. It' s not only because people can broaden their vision in different places, but also because fear will disappear with time. There is no doubt that no courage, no gains.
