Write an essay ”Some people choose friends who are different from themselves. Others choose friends who are similar to themselves. Compare the advantages of having friends who are different from you with the advantages of having friends who are similar to you. Which kind of friend do you prefer for yourself? Why?”

I think that depends on the nature of the person, some people like to have friends who has similar nature and some people, who has different nature. The advantages to having friends who has different nature is that thay can give information about somethings…? But i prefer a friend who has similar nature. i had lots of friends before, but i loose them all cause i have different nature, im not active, i love silence, am more interested into art, i don’t like talking ,making jokes or hanging out. I don’t have much friends now and some of them are funny and talk to much but i really like them.We always search someone, who is able to understand , support us in hard time and share with us the moment of happiness.
