I want to talk about a friend of mine, his name is Ilin and I met him, uh, in my english course. It was about two months ago, uh, when we first time meet each other. But then we got to know each other and I was kind of surprised of his ideas. He’a veryinated person and uh. Sometimes it can be challenging because his opinions are not common sense and has a controversial effect. For example, last time we were talking about gender equaly and he told that he doesn’t believe gender equality and he think it shouldn’t be like that way. And he also thinks that woman has more rights than men. I totally didn’t believe him. But then he provides some information and occasions, uh. I cana believe him then I kinda think it can be logical. Apart from that. There was another time we were talking about death penalty and he told that he thinks it should be illegal. And also. And I asked him what, what’s the reason he thought that it was for um. Overpopulation. All of us was shocked about it because I mean, it’s kind of shist. But then it talked about overp population is a big problem and imprisonment are very high. The government spend a lot of budget toment to prisons and it’s not quite effective. And. And I don’t still believe him, but he has a point, you know, apart from uh. That his ideas can be very controversial and debitable. But he never thoughtt the second time. He also tell his ideas with a confident. I admire for this reason to him, but I wish he was more human. Yeah, human being. Not a logical person and a little emotional. And I think about him like that.

I want to talk about a friend of mine, his name is Ilin, and I met him in my English course. It was about two months ago when we first met. We got to know each other, and I was kind of surprised by his ideas. He's a very opinionated person, and sometimes it can be challenging because his opinions are not always conventional and can be controversial. For example, last time we were talking about gender equality, he told me that he doesn't believe in gender equality and thinks it shouldn't be that way. He also believes that women have more rights than men. I totally didn't believe him at first. But then he provided some information and examples, and I could see his point. It made sense to me. Apart from that, there was another time we were talking about the death penalty, and he told me that he thinks it should be illegal. I asked him why, and he said it was because of overpopulation. We were all shocked because it seemed a bit strange. But then he explained that overpopulation is a big problem and that imprisonment costs the government a lot of money, and it's not very effective. I still don't fully agree with him, but he does have a point. His ideas can be very controversial and debatable, but he never hesitates to express them. He always presents his ideas with confidence. I admire him for this, but I wish he was a little more human, you know, a little less logical and a bit more emotional. I think about him like that.
