some people think it is better to choose friends who always have the same opinions as them. Other people believe it is good to have friends who sometimes disagree with them discuss both these views and give your own opinion

#people #friends
Friends are the treasures of life whom we all share our happiness and sorrows. There are considerable debates about who should be our friends. Some have a thought that the more similar opinions as
them
people in general
they
 are the best option while the others think oppositely. I strongly agree with the latter one.
Firstly
 turns to the former viewpoint, some people think it is better to have friends who always have the same point of view as
them
of them or themselves
their
they
. I see it is not a bad idea at all. The identical opinion of many people is powerful and can do something impossible.
For example
, if there is enough the same opinion of new generations who desire the new paths of political in one country, they could win the election and run a presidency. In the other way, the similarity and amount of opinions does not mean they are right all the time. Sometimes, it can be wrong and make you a trouble.
For instance
, you're doing the science project with all classmates who think

 as you, if
this
 group runs into wrong ways,
then
 not bouncing back into the right track on time is so simple. Due to
this
 reason, I sometimes prefer someone who often thinks differently to be my friends. In my terms, they don't need to have any
similarly
 thought as me because I think it is significant to have these people to consult with when I am struggling. Sometimes their ideas could work and I am ready to choose their side if it's the best choice. To conclude, choosing friends who have identical opinions does not work all the time while the others do in my view.

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
