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.

Nowadays, 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. In my opinion, I will make
friends
who have the same mindset as me. On the one hand,
friends
who have the same thinking as us are better. In reality, it is very difficult to have a soul mate in life.
Therefore
, a long-term companion is someone who has the same direction and goals, somebody who can share the same personality, interests and thoughts that will help the friendship to always be stable and rarely have disputes or conflicts.
For instance
, I have a friend from university, she is my best friend until now. She has the same personality and hobbies as me, even the food and colour are the same. We did an internship together in Israel in 2019, we shared difficult things while we were abroad. We have the same dreams and we always want to do something together. I really appreciate her, she has been with me in everything in life.
On the other hand
, some
people
think it’s good to have
friends
who sometimes don’t have the same opinion as them. In
this
case, the meaning of making
friends
with
people
who do not have similar interests or thoughts will sometimes help you realize what you are not like them. Cool and interesting sides like them. You will learn new things from them as well as they may choose interesting things from you. Even when there is a conflict between the two
friends
happens,
that is
also
the time when
this
relationship can be stronger when each person speaks out their own desires to the other. In conclusion, many
people
have different choices to make
friends
. Personally, I will choose a good friend who has the same view as me.

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.
