Sample
I think that it’s fine whether friends are similar to me or different from me, because both similarities and differences can make life more interesting.
For example,my friend David is a huge fan of music. When we’re togrther, we sometimes go to concerts. On the other hand, my friend Mike loves sports. We always play badminton together. I get along well with both of them.
In my opinion, true friends should respect each other, learn from each other, and help each other. And my favourite saying is, “ A friend in need is a friend indeed.
