▶ Your Answer :
Without doubt, friends play a significant role in people’s daily lives in many of the places where they work or play.
Some people think that people can learn a lot about
a person from the type of friends that he or she has, while others do not. Both
sides have their own reasons to support their own views. If I were asked to
choose one, I would say that people cannot know about a person very
well through his or her friends because people no longer make only friends
who have the same environment. There are several reasons as follows.
It is difficult to know about people’s
personality from their friends because many people mingle with others who are
different from them. People can meet diverse people from different backgrounds
easily and make friends. Such experience helps them to acknowledge that there
are many people who have different personalities, habits, faith, to understand
this variety, and to ultimately be comfortable with it. For example, when I
went to volunteer to Africa, I saw one of our volunteering members mingling
with total stranger very well. First, I kept my distance from her because I and
she are too different people. I was passive and shy person, but she was very
optimistic and passionate. However, we could be close soon because I realized
that she had a lot of good personality that she cared about her family and
friends, was committed to relationships, and played her part better. I no
longer feel awkward and can make friends with her. This implies that people not
only socialize with people who are similar to them, but also mingle with others
who are very different from them.
All things considered, I strongly believe that people have
mingled with friends with different personalities and it makes it difficult
for people to know about them by their friends for the reasons I have mentioned
above. All in all, the importance of having friends from different backgrounds
cannot be overestimated in life.
