Band 7 Example
Question: Is it easier for you to have arguments with your family or with your friends?
Idea 1
Family
Model Answer
I think it's easier to argue with family. We live together, so arguments happen more often. But because we're family, we tend to forgive each other quickly. Our relationships are long-term, so even if we argue, we know it won't last. We know each other well, so it's easier to communicate and resolve issues.
Idea 2
Friends
Model Answer
Arguing with friends can be tricky. We often share common interests, so there's less to argue about. But friendships can be fragile, so we try to avoid arguments. If we do argue, it's usually less emotional and more about finding a solution. Friends can take a break from each other if needed, which helps in cooling down.
Idea 3
It Depends
Model Answer
It really depends on the situation. The ease of arguing can vary based on the relationship and the topic. Some people find it easier to argue with those they are less emotionally attached to, like acquaintances. Personalities and communication styles also matter. Sometimes, the setting of the argument can make it easier or harder to have a disagreement.
