I would love to hear what do you think about my Essay and what score I would get if it was on the real exam

It must be admitted that in order to make more comprehensive analysis whether a person should never make an important decision alone, different viewpoint must be taken into consideration. Indeed, some people may suggest that the only way a person can actually learn from his mistakes is by making his own decisions. However, I believe that some help will always be appreciated and in my opinion it’s better to learn from the mistakes of other instead to repeat the same mistakes.

The most solid piece of evidence supporting my point of view is that older people have more life experience than younger people have. And if it is possible to take an advantage of this experience and to implement it in your own life, and not to repeat the same mistakes, in my opinion a lot of sorrow will be narrow. The opponents may say that everyone has to make his own mistakes in order to learn from them and be a stronger person. But I believe that one doesn’t have to make the same particular mistake and a wise person will be able to make the right conclusions and decisions listening and learning from others.

Take for example my academic studies. When I was not sure what I would like to study in university my mother suggested to me to take more analytical courses. She told me that in order to make better living after I will graduate from school; I have to learn math and chemistry. Although those subjects were not so easy to study and I would not chose them for myself. I am very happy that I did as she told me, since I have a nice job today with good salary.

The points listed above explain why in my opinion a person shouldn’t make an important decision alone. And if there is someone that can give him or her sufficient advice not to dismiss that advice and to give a person a chance to help you.


Thank you in advance,
Jenny
