Some people think it's better to choose friends or whole always have the same opinions as them. I don't people believe it's good to have friends who sometimes disagree with them. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

#people #friends
Friendship is an indispensable part of our life and it thrives primarily on love and support provided by
friends
 to each other. These days, the best approach to choose
friends
 is argumentative. Some are of the belief that
people
 should choose those who share the same opinions with them as their
friends
, while others think that becoming friend with those who have different opinions is more beneficial. I personally agree with the latter view and
this
 essay tends to discuss both ideas. On the one hand, some
people
, including those with conservative personalities, believe that the best friend for one is the most similar one in terms of opinions and beliefs. I think the main reason behind
this
 view is that they believe the more similar viewpoints they share with each other, the fewer conflicts would arise among them.
Moreover
, I think that concerning friendship, similar views strengthen the bond between
friends
 and make their relationship long-lasting.
On the other hand
, some
people
, including me, believe that friendship implies providing support to each other rather than sharing the same thoughts. I think they believe that those living as a community need to respect others' beliefs and be open-minded about different notions.
Therefore
, they feel that by choosing
friends
 from different walks of life who sometimes disagree with them, they can learn tolerance which is a key skill that shows the mental maturity of individuals.
Moreover
, by choosing different
friends
, they would always have some topics to discuss and there is a valuable chance of learning from
friends
. In conclusion, there are different, sometimes contradictory attitudes about firm
friends
.
Although
 some
people
 are in
favor
Change the spelling

show examples
 of becoming
friends
 with those who have similar views, others take a position against it. I reiterate that becoming
friends
 with
people
 with various viewpoints may help individuals learn critical skills
such
 as tolerance, communication, and social discussions.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
