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

#people #friends #desagree
Many believe that it is better to have friends with similar thoughts while others opine that it is beneficial to select ones who have a different perspective than them.
This
 essay will discuss both the arguments in detail and explain why having companions with varying beliefs is more favourable than with those who agree upon everything. Acquaintances with distinctive mindsets will always have the advantage of looking at certain things or ideas in a much broader way. When
such
 individuals come together and work, they weigh each and every outcome and act
accordingly
.
For instance
, an IT professional working with his mates having dissimilar views as a team will have more opportunities to explore his newly developed software. But, people with the same outlook will fail to provide diversity as everyone will agree upon the proposed idea. It is evident that agreeing upon a predecided idea without providing any insight would be detrimental to some extent in a friendship. Undoubtedly, a person always trusts his or her confidant and expects an honest reply.
For example
, I asked my childhood bestie if she thought that my decision of getting married at an early age was right or not and she gave her true judgement on it which was really helpful for me to make a final call.
Therefore
, in certain circumstances, if a companion concurs on every idea without providing his or her discernment, it becomes distressful for the other people and may impact their relationship in future. All in all, I think that choosing someone who sometimes disagrees with their friend's opinions is advantageous over somebody who agrees upon anything just for the sake of relation. It is wise to have more thinking minds for successful future endeavours.

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
