第六次作业:
writing(Friendship):
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?

Comparing the advantages of having friends who are different from me with the ones of having friends who are similar to me, I tend to having a different friends.

Admittedly, having a friend who is similar to myself will obtain much more happiness when we are together. We should have same opinion to one thing, because of the coherent (consistent/coincident/ consilient) view to the world and life. And also, little debate or even fight would happen, since our living principles are unanimous. Besides, when we go to shopping, coherence will be easily achieved with our accordant taste of beauty. However, there are many things we could not gain if we only stay with our “same” friends.

All too often we are improving through the argument and dispute. Only if we have a friend who is different from us, I value intellectually stimulating conversation on meaningful topics. For example, my friend and I decided to cooperate to attend a robot-design competition last summer. At the beginning, we have large difference in the original design idea. I thought the most important character of robot is friendly to human beings, not only its function but also, and maybe more importantly, its appearance, while my friend persist that robot should have the most advanced function, whatever its appearance could be accepted by people or not. After a long time controversy, we finally achieved an agreement, and of course, we all conceded to each other. Based on the ideas, we designed a robot which has absorbed the inspiration of both of us, and won the competition.

In addition, a friend who is different from me is a best critic for me. When I am going to do something wrong, a “different” friend could be the first person who criticize and stop me, because he/she will find the mistake firstly based on his/her opinion which is quite different from mine. It is possible that the friendship of my friend and I may has some trouble in this process. But I believe that if we are truly friends, we can come over the dilemma and enhance our relationship.

In sum, maybe we will have fun with the friends who are same to us, but in the long run, we should make friends with the person who are different from us.

I think school should teach music and art as other basic science.
It is good for the development of students and our society, because the modern society need the person not only have technology and intelligence, but also sense of art.
Moreover, it could not have good result if the students study all day without arts. Studying arts could improve their studying in other basic science. Because arts will give them right tastes of beauty and a more comfortable mood.
