Different friends or similar friends? Everyone has friends no matter many or few Some people choose friends who are different from themselves; others choose friends who are similar to themselves They both have some advantages which I will discuss in this essay For myself, I prefer choose friends different from me better than who are similar to me First is that the advantages of having friends who are different from themselves people can learn different life styles from my friends, for example, some of my friends live in countryside, but I never live in countryside So when we get together, they can tell me something about their life and I can tell them something about my life Besides that people also can learn some foreign language from their friends A lot of my friends are bilinguals They speak Spanish and English of French and English, but I speak Chinese and English So we can teacher each other our languages Second is that the advantages of having friends who are similar to themselves People will easily make friends who are similar to themselves They are similar to each other They may be from same country, speak same language Especially in abroad people are always happy to meet someone from their country or their hometown Therefore, people are easily to make some friends are similar to themselves People are also easily to get some helps from the similar friends Such as me, I get a lot of help though my Chinese friends when I just got Canada I think because we have similar ideas My opinion for the friends is I would like to make some friends are different form myself The reason is that I would like know more about others and something I not know If all my friends are similar to me, I know what they will without their telling because we are similar to each other They will whatever I Life like that will lose much interesting In conclusion, having friends are similar to themselves is easily to make friends and to get help; having friends are different from themselves can know more about the different life styles, languages So for my opinion, I choose the friends are different from me
