Pre-TOEFL writing, friends who are different from you or friends who are similar to you

Writing Topic
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?


Hints for Points
Advantages of having friends who are different from you:
They widen your views, take you to places you usually do not go to, make you learn the fact that there are many kinds of people in this world, help you start new things, help you learn how to socialize, and make you patient.

Sample description: By socializing with people different from you, you can grow as a person more than by socializing with people similar to you. People who are similar to you are like your family, so you learn little about social skills. However, when you try to make friends with and get along with people who have little in common with you, you have to use your mind. Trying to understand their behaviors that are unfamiliar to you or attempting to communicate with them will make you a person who is easy to be with.


Advantages of having friends who are similar to you
They make you feel relaxed because they need little explanation to understand you, are easy to hang around with because they share a lot with you, and will stand by you when you are in trouble more readily than those who are different from you.

Sample description: Having congenial friends makes your life full of good times because you can do many things enjoyably together with them. You can go out with them and have an exciting and yet relaxing time together, you can exchange information about your mutual hobbies, and you can keep talking about almost anything forever. This kind of friends can often be your life-time friends because you feel comfortable to spend time with them and over time both of you will develop attachment to each other.
