Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? A person should never make an important decision alone. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Important decisions are the most crucial ones to make it, since these decisions have the power of changing the whole direction of where our lives are heading, they can create big turning points or they can result with huge disappointments. In any case, I do not agree with the given statement. I believe that a person should make an important
decision
by herself / himself. I will explore my reasons through
this
essay.
First
of all, no
one
, even the closest family members and best friends cannot know our own genuine intention on regards to a
one
specific topic. Since every individual is extremely unique, calling a vital
decision
on something would only need to include that person itself. My very own experience with
this
is a compelling example: When I graduated from my university, I have come across with an opportunity of an abroad
traineeship
in the Netherlands for six months. When I
first
discussed
this
new development with my family, they were not on the favouring of the idea of living all alone in another country for that much time. They tried to change my mind about going there,
moreover even
Accept comma addition
moreover, even
there were some inside family arguments involved.
Although
the situation became very unpleasant, I did not listen to them, and I did that internship. When I look back now, I am so glad that I have accepted the offer since the experience it has brought many new opportunities into my life. If I would have listened to my parents, I could not have had these new opportunities along with my current master’s degree which is again in the Netherlands that I applied during the time I was doing my internship.
Secondly
, involving the others in the
decision
process when trying to decide on important circumstances can lead a confusion.
This
is because having more people in the
decision
process means the more ideas and
therefore
the more confusion. Since people tend to think situation regards their own life and their own desires, they can mislead the others in terms of making a crucial
decision
.
For instance
,
one
of my close friends, she is always depending on the other’s ideas when it comes to making a
decision
. She has been wanting to get a
tattoo
for a long time, but she did not sure, what kind of
tattoo
she would like to have.
One
of her brother is highly effective in my friend’s decisions in every aspect of her life. That brother suggested her to get a fox
tattoo
on her arm, she
finally
got that
tattoo
. But after a couple of years, she realized that it was definitely what she was wanted, following that she has started a removing session, which will
last
for months and not only cost her a great amount of money but
also
pain. If she would make her
decision
alone, I am pretty sure that she would not try to get rid of from the
tattoo
. If she could make her
decision
alone, I am pretty sure that she would not have to try to get rid of from the
tattoo
. To conclude, I do not agree with the given statement because people need to make their own
decision
alone since everyone is unique and no
one
knows better than the individual itself and
also
involving the other’s ideas to the
decision
process may result with huge regret.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
