TOPIC Some people choose friends who are different from them. Others choose friends who are similar to them. Compare the advantages of having friends who are different from you with the advantages of having friends who are similar to you. Which kind of friend do you prefer for yourself? Why?

ESSAY

There are two different groups of people in selecting friends: people who make friends who are similar to them, and people who make friends who are different from them. Both people have their own advantages and disadvantages. In this essay, I will compare each advantage and present my preference.

On one hand, some people want to make friends who are different from them. They say that through these friends, they can have various experiences. In other words, if friends have different hobbies, occupations and talents, not only can they learn a lot more things from them, they can receive some help in their friends’ major subjects. They also think that meeting friends who are different from them teaches them how to treat other people. People should meet various kinds of people in their lives. If somebody has many friends, and his friends have peculiar characteristics, he can easily understand other people he meets in various situations such as business and school.

On the other hand, some people choose friends who have the same characteristics as them. These people say that only similar friends can understand them when they are in trouble. For example, if they have some difficulty with their girlfriends, schools, or parents, they need some help such as advice, encouragement, and consolation from their intimates. However, if their friends have totally different characteristics, their friends cannot understand their minds, and cannot give any help. And they also insist that they feel comfortable when they meet similar friends. If they have similar lifestyles and interests, they can easily decide when they meet, where they go and what they do, and there are few confrontations between them.

In conclusion, I think making friends who are similar to me is much better than making friends who are different from me. Though we can have various experiences when we meet friends who are different from us, the most important think in friendship is understanding each other. And if friends have different thoughts from us, they cannot understand us. So I think similarity is more important than variety in making friends.
