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?

If one’s life can compare with a drama, his/her friends will serve as the leading actors which have the same importance as the protagonist, the drama will not continue its progress if the protagonist loses all his/her friends. Thereby, considering the importance of friends, choosing friend has being a crucial work which may accompany with the whole life of all the human beings. Some people prefer to choose friends who are different from themselves, while others are not. As for me, I would like to choose my friends who are, to some extent, similar to me.  
My first reason that I want to choose friends who are similar to me is that we can share our common experience. When we get together, there are a large number of topics that we can discuss, and there has little chance that we will have diverge standpoint which may lead to wrangle. Also, we can know each other better if we have something in common. Take me as an example, one of my major interests is playing tennis, I frequently enjoy to play the game or to see some matches in my spare time. Therefore, if a friend is not interested in the same type of sports as me, we will not be able to share these experiences together. Without these bonding experiences, it is not easy for us to maintain the ship.
Helping me to make progress is another reason that I choose friends. If we have the same interest, we can learn from help each other; share some new ideas. Also, once I make a mistake, it may not easy for me to become aware of it, but if I have a good friend sharing the same interest with me, the mistake will be more likely to be found out. Thus, not only the level of our interest will be improved, but also can help to fortify our friendship.
Admittedly, there still have some benefits when friend is not so similar to me. For instance, making friends with the ones who are different can broad our perspective and bring some knowledge from other domains. Also, since we can not always stay with the people similar to us, making friends with the one with some dissimilarity can help us to learn how to getting along other people.
In conclusion, making friends with similar ones and different ones both has its advantages, but to me, I would prefer to make friends with the ones who are similar to me.
