What can similarities bring to a friendship?
Similarities can help friends get along easily. If friends both like playing basketball, they can play together and have fun. They can also understand each other better. For example, if they have the same view on something, they can talk about it happily.
Differences can make friends learn from each other. If one friend is good at maths and the other is good at English, they can help each other with study. Also, different personalities can make the friendship more interesting. A shy friend and an active friend can have different ideas and make the friendship more colourful.
What can differences bring to a friendship?
What really matters in a friendship?
Friends should be kind to each other. They should trust and help each other. Whether they are similar or different, respecting each other is the most important.
