Friends play a vastly important role in our daily life as well as further development, therefore choosing what kinds of friends seems to be a both difficult and extremely important class for everyone. Some people choose friends who are different from them, other people hold the opinion that choosing people who are similar to ourselves is more reasonable. Although both method may have their own advantages and disadvantages. As far as I am concerned, choosing friends who are similar to us is more plausible. I would compare both of these two attitudes and illustrate my choice in the following paragraphs. A similar friend means a lot of common needs and interests which will be the foundation of the friendship. While having a friend who is different from yourself could not make as such good as having a similar one. For instance, two football fans will effortlessly become good friends because they have common topic, while a pop music lover will find he can hardly understand and get along well with one who is a classical music lover due to their attitude towards music always diverging from each other and can hardly reach some common comprehension. Furthermore, a similar friend will probably choose the same further development so the road towards future will become more easy because of accompanied by someone. Comparing with a different friend, this advantage of a similar friend is obvious. By way of example, two English major students will have a great probability to start the same career as a interpreter, consequently, they can help each other preparing for some standardize text which will be accepted as a evidence of competence in the given field by the potential employers. Admittedly, choosing a different friend has some advantages which choosing a similar friend does not have. First, you can benefit a lot from the different personality. Second, some thrilling things will occur when you are getting monotonous of a similar friend. To sum up, although choosing a different friend has some advantages say, benefiting a lot from different personality, some thrilling experience .The advantage of choosing a similar friend are more than those choosing a different friend because a similar friend is beneficial for us in two ways, common needs and common interests, probably the similar future development. Consequently, I would like to choose a similar friend. |
