ome 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 own your opinion.

Friendship
is one of the biggest bonds you can dream of.
Friendship
is a devoted relationship between two people. And I think
friendship
is strong if they both have similar
interests
and feelings.
Friendship
is based on common
interests
, mutual support, understanding and, most importantly, trust. When people have nothing to talk about, there's just no point in communicating. Sometimes I want to talk to someone, share my problems and secrets,

out my soul. At
such
moments, it is very bad without
friends
, because the most intimate can only be shared with a truly close and proven person. You can't tell "Just your
friends
" that. I dedicate only one person to my secrets and depths of my thoughts - my best friend. She differs from the others in that she really trusts me and

that I can believe her too. I think she and I have been
friends
for a very long time because we both have similar
interests
and thoughts. We have many similar views on life. And because of
this
, we can talk about everything without cessing.
On the other hand
, if you have different
interests
with a friend or you have nothing similar to a friend. It won't be easy for you to be
friends
. Because you may have quarrels, conflicts and misunderstandings.
For example

with similar
interests

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
