▶ Your Answer : Some people think that friends who have a lot in common is better than people who have many differences with you. However, in my opinion, having friends who are not like me is better because it gives me a chance to learn and also experience new things. I will explain with more details. First of all, there are so many things that I can learn from especially people who are not like me. To be specific, people who are different from me usually have a different back ground, experiences, and also personality. So, I think they will have a different point of view, which means that through understanding their ways to think I can have a broader persfective. Also, you can be changed through their different example and change your persfective. Second, it is more fun to spend time with people who are not like me. LIke I said earlier, people who are different from me generally have different hobbies and things that they do. Therefore it gives you more opportunities to experience unfamilar things. In my life, I was not the type of person who likes to go out and plays sports. But, one of my friend, unlike me, really likes sports and he is outgoing. He helped me learn how to play basketball and it was hard for me, but I didn;t know outdoor sports are fun like this. So now, I like to go out and play sports and hang out with people. Were it not for the friend who is really different from me, I wouldn't realize how fun it is to play basketball. To sum up, the more different the person you meet is from you, the more chances you will have to learn and enjoy. In this regard, I strongly believe that friends with a lot of differences with you is better than people who are like you. |
