A close-knit friend is the type of person who can speak the same language as you and see eye to eye about significant issues in
life
. No matter how

for you, you go through thick and thin together;
that is
 why you never feel lonely and desperate under difficult circumstances.
However
, in recent decades, long-term friendships have lost their importance and become weaker owing to the increase in individualism.
Firstly
, basic requirements like spending quality time together can be a starting point for every
friendship
. What is more, any human connection requires extra supportive indicators
such
 as trust, a similar point of view, and rapport.
For instance
, since we are deeply in need of empathy and support, we may easily drift apart from our
friends
 unless they provide us with these crucial feelings.
Hence
, an ideal and sustainable relationship is fragile, and it’s similar to a plant needing a great amount of input in order to grow as much as we expect.
According to
 one of the articles I read a long time ago, eighty

 build bridges by developing sympathy for each other and sticking together no matter what.
On the other hand
,
life
 is not always linear and includes a great amount of uncertainty.
That is
 why, people are prone to transform as much as
life
. Regardless of the mutual love and respect that
friendship
 has, the evolution of people can make
friendship
 tough to maintain in the long run.
For example
, researchers suggest that we can calculate the
life
 expectancy of friendships through data based on distinctive plans of
friends
 in the near future.
However
, we must know that
this
 change is completely normal for the
life
 we are living. Especially when it comes to
this
 century, the rise of individuality seems to have a deep impact on close
friends
. To illustrate, as far as I am concerned, I would rather stay at home alone than go for hours to meet up with
friends
 in the hustle and bustle of İstanbul.
As a consequence
, before pondering strong
friendship
, we must take into account the reality of the world full of individual desires and ambitions. Not only do we

 to create reliable relationships with close ones, but all of us are willing to develop stronger bonds with our
friends
.
Thus
, sympathetic and supportive
friends
 will be as rare as pearls in the sea.

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
