40. Friendship is the greatest gift of life пример (Сочинения ЕГЭ английский язык)

The role of friends in our life is huge. Some people say that friendship is the most valuable thing we have in our life, while others think differently.

In my opinion, friends are really important for any of us. Firstly, friends can always support you. If something bad will happen, true friends will always be ready to give you a support, to help you with anything you have problems with, and this is what makes friendship special. Secondly, friends are more than just people who you know. Friends share same beliefs and thoughts with you, you have a lot in common with them, and therefore, they can always understand you as no one else would, so you can always count on them and trust them, as well as they can trust you.

All this makes friendship a very special type of people’s relationships based on trust, interest and affection.

However, some people say that there is nothing special in friendship. Your friends do not have so much impact on your personality, and they are not so important as, for example, family. So therefore they have a little effect on you and because of this they are secondary.

I do not agree with this opinion. Friends are people you grew up together with, and while growing up you influence each other in the same way. All of you share some character traits with others, and in that way you exchange your experience and knowledge, so when you grow up, you always have some traits that you gained from your friends.

In conclusion, I would like to restate that friendship is a great thing and one should always appreciate having good and loyal friends.
