다른 흥미와 성격을 가진 사람들은 친구가 될 수 없다?
People have their own friend. Some people think that it is important for us to consider whether a friend has same interests and personalities when we try to make a friend. However, I disagree with the given statement because we can have a friend even though he or she has different interests and personalities.
To begin with, we can have own old friends although they have different interests and personalities. People normally have old friends since they were kids. They had shared a lot of experience such as vacations, school life and so on. While spending time together, they get old and start to have different interests and personalities. However, people try to keep the relationship with their old friend as long as possible. As a matter of fact, we occasionally get an advice from old friends and talk about childhood when we meet them. For example, I, university student, have a friend who runs a business related to selling cell-phone. We look like we have different interests and personality since we make minor conflicts when we meet. However, we always meet and talk about many things. Recently, before he got married his wife, he asked me whether he would marry with her or not.
In addition, we can have foreign friends more easily. Due to globalization, the volume of the world gets smaller than before. With this fact, more students can go to other country because they would like to experience various things. While they are staying in other country, they can get along foreign friends even though there are language barrier and cultural differences. According to the recent survey conducted by Samsung Economic Research Institute, 34% of Korean university student go to foreign country for more than 6 months and more than 88% of them make foreign friends and keep in touch with them.
To sum up, I disagree with the idea that people who have different interests and personalities cannot be friends. The reason is that we can have old friends and foreign friends even though we have different interests and personalities.
