Some people think it's better to choose friends who always have the same opinions as them. Other people believe it is good to have friends who sometimes disagree with them. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
While it is believed by some that good friends should share the same views, others contend that true friendship allows different opinions occasionally. Although agreeability can maintain a harmonious relationship, I think an authentic friendship should be built on mutual understanding and respect for varied thoughts without fear of conflict.

People may argue that the public fund should be invested in other services which is equally important, however, there should be a balance.
