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

There is always a possibility that you met
someone
else with another opinion. But can
this
be a good friend? Or is
this
person
someone
to ignore? In
this
essay, I will discuss both sides and share my thought on
this
matter.
Firstly
, from my point of view isn't it necessarily a bad thing to have a different point of sight than
someone
else in your
group
of
friends
. The reason behind
this
,
Remove the comma

show examples
is that
someone
who has
friends
with varied opinions mostly has a broader perspective of the world.
Besides
that, If everyone in your
group
shares each other's opinions
then
everyone in the
group
will be totally the same.
consequently
, there will never be some interesting discussions between each other.
Furthermore
,
someone
has to reprove you If you say something you should not have done. If everyone just let it go, because no one disagrees with you,
then
you may think that you can say it more often.
For example
, If you discriminate against a
group
of people in the presence of your
friends
. They may reprove you, the reason that they are doing
this
is that they do not want you to say it another time when you are surrounded by people who may react else to your statement. To prevent anyone from
this
situation, you have to become
friends
with different views on things. Concluded, I think that it is not necessarily a bad thing to have
friends
with another theory because by having
this
, they can neglect you or you can broaden your perspective.
However
, your opinions
also
do not have to differ too much to be able to agree on some things.

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
