Do old people often change plans? I think by the time one becomes old, he/she has learnt the importance of planning and doing things on time. So they like to go as per the plan because deviations from plans often create problems which old people do not like 2. Do young people like to change plans? Young people nowadays are working on multiple things, they like to do multitasking, in order to achieve this, they make frequent changes in their plans. But at the same time young people like to be in control of things they do and if it is often interrupted by changes then they won’t like them. 3. What are the common reasons when people need to change plans? The reasons for changing plans are mostly circumstantial. Changes are hardly planned. If something or other comes up then people have to change their plans. 4. How would you tell your friends when you must change your plan? If I make any changes in my plan then I will immediately inform it to my friends or anyone else who is involved in the plan. I will explain to them the reasons behind the change. Informing immediately is necessary because then other people can understand and plan their time accordingly. 5. What kinds of plans are practical? I think simple plans which involve less people are always practical like planning for a trip or outing etc. But plans which involve a lot of people and are hard to achieve tend to be less practical as they need a lot of time to execute and there is dependency on too many people. www.makkarIELTS.com May-August 2018 19.
