▶ Your Answer : Undoubtedly, friends play a significant role in people's life. Therefore, it is important with who people mingle. Some people think that people need to have a friend who are similar to them while others think oppositely. If I had to choose one, I would say that it is better to have friends who are different for the following two subsequent reasons. To begin with, getting along with people who have different habits contributes to an overall happiness. When people have only friends who are similar to them, they are likely to do same activities. On the other hand, If people share each habits with their friends who are different, they can prevent from feeling bored. For example, when I was in high school, I often felt depressed because I spent the whole day studying. I did not any habit except for studying. Moreover, my best friends did only studying. Fortunately, I was able to deal with it after I hang out with one of classmates. He was not interested in studying but in playing soccer. He and I played soccer and studied together. I could recharge battery by doing soccer with him. Without him, I would still have been depressed.
Furthermore, when people are in trouble, having a lot of friends in various fields is important. As people live, they meet problems which they can not handle by themselves. By receiving assistance directly or indirectly, people can solve the problems. For example, my older brother had a car accident. Because it was the first time and he did not know any laws, he was in panic. However, his friend who was police officer went to the place and calmed him and dealt with it without any problem. This case reveals that people are better to know friends who have different jobs such as a lawyer, police or banker because no one knows what they will meet problems.
In a nutshell, by having various friends who are different, people can prevent to fell bored and have help from them. In this regard, I personally believe that people should have relations with diverse friends. |
