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 these views and give your opinion.
Some of the people believe that friends with exactly the same opinions on different topics are better than the ones that can argue with them.
On the one hand, having similar interests and hobbies is a reason to start a friendship. In this case people always have something to discuss. If your friend has the same view of particular problem as you do, he can help you to find a solution faster. Such friend will always support you and take your side in any argument. He will be there for you in any situation.
On the other hand, having equal opinions with you friend is sometimes boring. You always agree on every issue with each other and have no discussion or argument. If you friend disagrees with you, you can discuss both views, reach a compromise and come up with a suitable solution. But strong this agreement can often lead to a heated argument or even ruin your friendship.
In my opinion, friend should not agree on everything they are talking about. I think that this kind of friendship is boring and it is not likely to last for long. However, a friend with the same opinion as yours will definitely support your point of view in any discussion. And it is a wonderful thing, too.
In conclusion I would like to say that it is good to have different views on some topics or problems but you should be loyal to the opinion of your friend. Everyone should appreciate their friendship and shouldn't let stupid arguments ruin it.

This sample answer is from…
This sample answer is from IELTS Cambridge 12, and the human examiner has rated it as 8.0. However, here, the e-reader has given 5.5. I am quite surprised to see the differences in ratings. Seems human graders are always beneficial.
