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 the views and give your opinion.

Friends

are one of the important companions in life apart from family. The human brain is a unique structure in which the thinking process is uncontrollable.

Therefore

, it's usual that

people

have

friends

that think in the same way while others have different ideas.

People

think it's better to have

friends

who always have the same views as them. To support

this

, it is true that having

friends

with the same thinking can maintain their friendship in a harmonious way.

People

will feel that there is someone there who knows their feelings well. There will be lesser conflicts among each other.

For example

, planning a trip for a holiday. Same thinking

friends

usually will lead to a smoother and more enjoyable time throughout the trip.

On the other hand

, other

people

believe it's good to have

friends

who sometimes disagree with them. More ,importantly is agree to disagree. There are findings that prove that different opinions which initiate discussion will actually boost brain activity.

Moreover

, true

friends

are not afraid to voice their opinions.

For instance

, a person suddenly being influenced into a scheming programme.

Friends

that understand that situation will voice their ideas and will help out to avoid falling deeper into

this

programme. In my perspective, I personally think that having

friends

with different ideas are better.

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

It is more important for school children to learn about their local history rather than world history. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
While some history lessons in schools focus on the history of the children’s country, others take a more global approach and teach the history of other countries as well. I believe it is important to learn about the past of one’s own country but also the history of the world.

In recent years, an increasing number of people are suffering from health problems caused by obesity in the wealthy countries.

Some university students want to learn about other subjects in addition to their main subjects. Others believe it is more important to give all their time and attention to studying for a qualification. Discuess both these views and give your own opinion.
For many years majority of students' desire to study a broad university curriculum that covers various subjects and its opposition to the other group of leaners whose preferance lies in having a focused study on their chosen qualification, has been the central topic of many heated debates. Having carefully examined the logic behind both perspectives, I, personally, believe the best path lies some where in between.

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 the views and give your opinion.
