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

#people #it’s #friends
Many individuals are of the opinion that electing companions who have the same belief as us is a better decision.
In contrast
, some other people believe having
friends
 whom ideas differ from ours is finer. I follow the opinion that same-belief
friends
 are more beneficial. On one hand, same-opinion
friends
 offer some merits.
Firstly
, talking with them is very interesting because they always agree with what you say and
this
 results in an increase in the length of the conversation.
Secondly
, forging a
friendship
 with
this
 kind of man and woman is much easier as there is so much in common with both sides of the
friendship
 and they can even find interest in different topics and subjects;
for example
, in sports, books or even travel destinations.
Moreover
, cooperation with compatible colleagues leads to a perfect sequel;
for Instance
, if two colleagues with the same assessment start a new business, they will grow fast as they think the same and do not disagree with each other.
On the other hand
, folk may have various ideas about things and we cannot expect them to be all alike. The fact that having
friends
 who sometimes demonstrate the opposite or different points of view is good, because they may clarify an important feature of something that you have never thought about. But, some comrades always try to disagree with us which is so annoying and may even lead to arguments that put the
friendship
 at risk,
also
 some individuals cannot stand disagreements and may become angry or irritated. What is more, is
this
 kind of people are not good for doing teamwork, because there is always a possibility to disagree whatever you planned and tries to obligate others to accept his own plan. In conclusion,
although
 establishing
friendship
 depends on individuals characteristics, tolerating disagreement can be one of the main reasons that persons end their friendships.

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
