Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Letting a friend make a mistake is better than saying or doing something that may destroy the friendship. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
No one can live without friends. Friends are precious for us not only because they can share our joys and sorrowsbut also because they can give us advice and help us made good decisions to live a better life. As to the opinion that letting a friend make a mistake is better than saying or doing something that may destroy the friendship, I think it depends on what kind of mistake it is, if it is a minor mistake, it is OK not saying anything about it;but if the mistake might make a difference of life and death, I will do anything to prevent it.

For a mistake that will not affect people's life dramatically, it is OK letting a friend make a mistake. Since sometimes we can learn a lot from a mistake. While the advice from a friend might be forgotten soon, the experience we go through will not fade in our memory. Once one of my friend got so addicted to a soap opera that she spent all her free time watching it and did not prepare for a coming exam. I tried many times to warn her that she might fail the exam without preparing, she just did not listen to me at all. At last, I gave up. Just as I anticipated, she failed the exam and had to participate in a re-learning course. Knowing the result, I had an conversation with my friend and gave her some of my advice. The friendship between us was not destroyed instead it was deepened. The most important thing is that my friend learned a lot from that experience that she never gets so addicted to anything and manages to contribute her time properly. I think this example explains my meaning perfectly, sometimes it is better to let a friend learn from his/her mistakes, since the lesson is so real that he/she will not make the same mistake again. Just as the saying "the nature of mistakes is your progress".

On the other hand, some mistakes are so serious that we should do anything to prevent them. If a friend told you that he/she wanted to do some illegal thing, you definitely should stop him/her instead of letting him/her learn a lesson from it. Your friend might resent you at that moment and the friendship between you might be damaged, but I believe that after some time, your friend will understand that you are right and the friendship will reconstructed and deepen.

As discussed above, what we should do when our friends are making mistakes is not static. We should learn the situation and do the according thing in order to help our friends and ourselves.

On the other hand, some mistakes are so serious that we should do anything （可以换一种表达，anything 出现了好几次）to prevent them. If a friend told you that he/she wanted to do some illegal thing, you definitely should stop him/her instead of letting him/her learn a lesson from it. Your friend might resent（建议不用这个词） you at that moment and（but） the friendship between you might be damaged, but I believe that after some time, your friend will understand that you are right and the friendship will be reconstructed and deepen.

As discussed above, what we should do when our friends are making mistakes is not static. We should learn the situation and do the according thing in order to help our friends and ourselve.

总的来说没什么错误，但感觉表达单一，句式结果基本都是主谓 。词汇有些不恰当。第一个事列太长了，很多无关的话哈。加油！
