Friendship is a beautiful and special relationship in a person's

life

. There are many instances in our

life

when we can share our things with closed family members but can do with our friends. But, sometimes friendship becomes complex and tangled due to various situations. In

this

essay, I will outline the traits of a true

friend

and the factors which are responsible for weakening a close relationship. There are many qualities which a true amigo has.

Firstly

, with a true

friend

, a person can virtually say anything at any time. There is no formality among true friends. A great buddy is not going to judge your nature and is always there to motivate and guide you. A real buddy more like a family member.

Secondly

, a

friend

keeps your secrets private.

Thirdly

, distance does not matter for true friends. A real companion, always keeps in touch with you. You can call your best at any time.

Finally

, it is well said, "a

friend

in need is a

friend

indeed". So, a real best never leaves you alone in your hard times. But, there are some factors which can make a friendship weaken over time. Due to the busy schedule and the location boundaries, some people stop communicating frequently with their friends. Sometimes, due to some misunderstanding

also

friends stop talking to each other.

In addition

, Some people, as they get old, cannot see a

friend

achieve more than them, which increases the communication gap.

Furthermore

, they become jealous of the fame and success gained by their friends and started having an inferiority complex. All in all, I opine that friendship is a special bond, and friends are important in every phase of our

life

. So, we should keep a regular touch with our friends.

Also

, we should take some of our routine

life

for our friends as well, so that we can meet, enjoy, and can share our personal stuff for the relaxation of our minds.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

Summary
Restatement of thesis
Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

In conclusion
To conclude
To summarize
Finally
In a nutshell
In general
