l don’t agree. For me, friends who are different make me better. I think we should respect each other’s differences and learn from each other. For example, l am kind of shy, but my best friend, Yuan Lei, is outgoing. She has a great sense of humour too. Thanks to her, l am becoming more outgoing. Now I think meeting new people is really fun!
I have another friend, Zhang Yong. He is not afraid to give his opinion, especially when he thinks l am making a mistake. I am less straightforward than he is, but l am glad to have an honest friend.
I think a good friend is like a mirror. You can understand people by knowing their friends. My friend, Stephen, is a great example. We often hang out together because we have similar hobbies and interests. For example, we both love sports. He plays badminton better than l do, so he always wins our matches. Because of that, I try harder when l practise, and now I’m getting better at badminton. Stephen and l are similar in other ways. He is as serious as me. When we aren’t playing sports, we enjoy reading together. l read more history books than he does, and he reads a lot of novels. We often share interesting books with each other.
