Friends
 are among those individuals who can influence our lives through spending
time
 together and sharing our secrets with them. Nowadays some
people
 may think that it would be better to be alone
instead
 of having different
friends
. But honestly, I disagree and strongly believe that we should have a
friend
. A
friend
 who worth it and can make our life better.
Firstly
, we can have fun together. We can go out with a
friend
 to have dinner, go to see movies or even play games with them which all of these help us to be happier more than are now.
For example
, I and my
friend
, Hossein who is my best
friend
 since my childhood, have going to the beach every week to talk. Our conversations concern different aspects of our lives. I have a lot of fun with him and I wait all

week until the weekend to go out with him.
Consequently
,
friends
 know each other better since they spend
time
 together. As you can see, a good
friend
 can make you happier in many ways.
Secondly
, a good
friend
 can help you in tough situations. It is a well-known slang in my country that says "Good
friend
 is better than your siblings". Since
friends
 are familiar with each other problems they can help each other.
For instance
, my
friend
, Ali, helped me to do my university project when I was sick in my
second
 semester. I remember he did not sleep

 that project.
Therefore
, a good
friend
 can be very helpful to overcome your obstacles.
In contrast
, there are some
people
 which they called themselves your
friend
 but they actually exploit you. So, when
people
 see
such
 things in their friendship, they prefer to be alone. Some
friends
 are very talkative and waste your
time
 with worthless subjects to
such
 an extent that you want to stop communicating with them.
On the other hand
, there are some selfish persons who do not pay attention to your demands. So, there are good reasons that some
people
 prefer to be alone. In conclusion,
although
 there are some reasons which may convince some
people
 to be alone, I strongly believe that positive points of spending
time
 with a
friend
 worth its negative effects.

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
