Friendship plays a key role in a
person
's lifespan. Some people think it's better to pick
friends
with similar opinions as them. Others tend to believe that it's good to have friendships with those who sometimes disagree with them.
This
essay will discuss the statements mentioned above and
thus
will lead to a logical conclusion.
To begin
with, Making
friends
is one of the important decisions a
person
makes in his/her life.
Moreover
, good
friends
will help throughout the lifespan of a
person
. Having said that, When we choose
friends
based on whether or not their opinions align with yours it helps in sharing some key decisions with them. To cite an example, If a man is about to change his career he can ask his
friends
that might have the exact same opinions as him which helps reduce some of the anxiety.
Also
, when two people share the same opinion they can openly talk about various things which might help them live a relaxed life.
On the other hand
,
Initially
, when we make
friends
, we don't decide based on what he/she thinks of the world and whether they think the same way as yours.
This
kind of friendship is
also
good because it results in improving your thinking ability and helps understand someone else's opinion of looking at a similar problem.
For instance
, If a bottle is filled half, to one
person
it feels that it is half empty, while the other
person
looks at it as if the bottle is half-filled.
Hence
, sometimes it is better to have
friends
that disagree with you. To recapitulate, according to the arguments aforementioned above,
i
Change the capitalization
I
show examples
think that it is better to have a mix of
friends
. few
friends
with the same mindset as yours and others with a different mindset.
This
way it will be more beneficial as compared to only one kind of friendship.

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
