This would be a very boring world if we were all exactly the same.Our differences are what make us
exciting and interesting.Personally,I prefer different friends since you can enjoy a variety of
interests and you can also learn from each other.Firstly,the most obvious and undisputed advantage
of having a different friend is that you can enjoy more kinds of amusement.Admittedly,if your
friends and you have the same interest in something,you can share with each other and that will be
an enjoyable time for you.However,it will be more interesting if you can persuade your friends to
enjoy your interests that he or she has never tried before.Secondly,a different friend means the
opportunity to learn from each other.Given that each person can be good at different things,you can
expand your scope of knowledge by making different friends.For instance,a friend of mine was very
goood at mathematics and I was quite good at literature.So we always learn together.She made some
complex arithmetical problems clearer and I explained to her how to write an essay better.This
greatly contributed to our gradual progress in school.We generally credited the progress to our
differences.In conclusion,if a person makes friends different from him,he gets chances to be mixed
with different people and benefits from the contact with them.Therefore,I prefer to make friends
with people with different personalities and interests.
