Some People Like Different Friends. Others Like Similar Friends. Compare the Advantages ofThese Two Kinds of Friends. Which Kind of Friends Do You Prefer? Explain Why.

　　It is universally known that friendship is one of the eternal themes in the literature of alllanguages. This is because human beings were born to need the warmth and laughter offriends. However it is impossible for us to make friends with everybody. We have to choosetrue friends. Some of us like similar friends, while others different friends. Personally, I preferboth.

　　It goes without saying that having similar friends has many advantages. We can feel a sense ofstrength when we have a group of old friends who would share our sufferings and happiness. Mor eover, old friends always know how to maintain mutual trust and how to avoid potentialfriction. I always feel delighted when I meet an old friend after a long departure. Immediately, hearty laughter fills the atmosphere.

　　Never theless I believe that a mixture of friends is equally advantageous. In the first place, frequent contact with dif ferent friends broadens my wor ld outlook. For instance, I have foundit a real treasure to have so many friends on the campus who often help me reinforce mybeliefs. Secondly, I have found that different friends cannot only lead to new adventures butalso show me new avenues in life. Thirdly, they can help me with whatever difficulties Iencounter in life.

　　To conclude, I prefer to have both types of friends and as many as possible. Of course, I willnot forget to choose friends wisely .
