Some people think that having friends who are different from oneself is better than having those who are similar to oneself. They may think that it has many advantages for people to make relationships with various friends. However, in my opinion, it is better to have friends who have similar tendency with oneself rather than who have different tendency. This is due to the fact that they can enjoy their hobby deeply together and save time to make a decision. To begin with, friends who have a similar inclination can enjoy their hobbies more. Generally, similar friends have similar interests as well. Therefore, they can share many information and materials about their hobby, and it helps them understand about the activity more. As a result. they can have enjoyable experiences more. For instance, I did not know that one of my friends had a same hobby as me. However, one day, I had a conversation with her, and while we were talking, we realized that both me and her liked to watch movies. Thus, we often went to watch the movie and we shared individual knowledge about movies and directors. It helped me understand about films more and gave me more opportunities to enjoy movie than before I met her. On top of that, it helps people save their time to determine something. When friends gather together, they need to decide something such as where they go and what they eat. If friends are different from each other, it takes more time to decide because they have many different opinions. Otherwise, since they have similar thoughts, similar friends can save their time to make a decision. For example, my sister joined in an English club last summer and studied with many club members. One day, they had a plan to go on a picnic altogether. However, they could not go anywhere because it took so long time to decide the place where they go. This is because there were so many opinions. It showed that it was hard to make a decision with different ideas. To sum up, I believe that people should have friends who are similar with them rather than who are different from them because that they can enjoy their hobbies more and save time to make a decision. |
