What it was about ？

和朋友的争执是关于什么事情。

How it was solved ？

这件事情是如何解决的？比如是某一方先去和解，或者通过中间的朋友调节等......

最后具体地阐述一下你对这次争执的看法，有利有弊可以从不同的角度讨论，理由合理即可。

Friendship thrives primarily on good relationships.However, sometimes even friends have altercations.

Last year there was a strong argument between two of my friends. During the corona pandemic, my country was in a state of lockdown. Any many of us gained tremendous weight during that period.

Because during the lockdown, we didn’t engage in much physical exercise. Apart from this, we ate a lot.

Hence, to lose weight, we all college friends decided to help each other. Our whole group connected through video conferencing. We nominated two guys from our group who were fit to mentor the group.

Both of the mentors are my bosom friends. When the mentors started giving us weight-loss tips, both of them argued. The first mentor said weight-loss exercise is more important. The second mentor countered his view by saying that diet is more significant for maintaining an ideal weight.

To end the ongoing debate, we divided the group into two teams. Team A worked under the supervision of the first mentor, and Team B’s team leader was 2nd mentor. Team A focused more on exercise, and Team B’s more attention was on having a balanced and nutritious diet. The results were astonishing because all participants lose weight. However, Team B’s performance was better than Team A.There was a person in their overall look because all participants experienced significant weight-loss. Hence, the revelation was that diet plays a more important role than a physical workout for losing weight.

Initially, I had apprehensions regarding the debate between two of my amigos. But later on, I liked it. Because through the medium of that argument, we all friends improved our health.

P3 朋友间的争执

     # Do you think argument is important?

There is no denying this conviction that arguments sometimes consume a lot of time. Yet arguments are significant because they help us in clearing our doubts. Moreover, through arguments, people can highlight various issues affecting our society.

      # What do family members usually have arguments about?

Usually, family members talk they argue about trivial issues. Like what to cook, and who will handle which duty?. Even small talk could lead to an altercation. Another prominent issue which families argue about is the education of the children in the family.

     # Is it easier for you to have arguments with your family or with your friends?

I find it easy to have arguments with my friends because I am more open with them. Moreover, being of my age, they understand me better as compared to my family members.

     # Do you think people should change the way they think when having arguments?

Yes, people need to have a drastic change in their thinking process while having arguments. Because their central focus should be on finding a solution through debate, rather than winning the argument.
