Friends, Similar or Different?

Almost everyone in the world has friends. Friends are found anywhere, at anytime. Some of our friends can be similar to us, and some of them can differ in many ways. Regardless of their similarities or differences, there are a few advantages of having such friends.

 

Answer 1

【答案】

 

Having friends who are similar to us can be beneficial, in that we can enjoy things together, such as going to clubs or to the movies. In addition, having such friends can provide us with a companion to share our opinions.

However, having friends who are different from us would have some advantages of its own.

They are able to introduce us to new and different things; hence, we’re provided with unexpected experiences in life. Furthermore, they could provide us with a different view on a certain matter.

As for me, I prefer to choose friends similar to myself. I feel that friendship between us will be smoother and more enjoyable. However, I never refuse a friendship offered by a friend who is different from me.
