择友(choosing friends)
everybody has his friends. some people like to choose friends who are different from themselves while others prefer those who are similar to themselves. each of the choices has its advantages.
when people have friends similar to themselves， they and their friends can chat， play， and do things together harmoniously. the result is that they all feel relaxed and can truly enjoy each other's company.
when a guy has friends different from himself， the advantage he has is that he can benefit from the contacts with different people. his friends may be different from him in character， education， occupation， social status， or political and religious beliefs. from those friends， he can learn a lot of things that he has never experienced himself and he can also enjoy being with thera when they know each other well.
comparing the advantages of both cases， i think that it would be better for me to have both kinds of friends …… some who are similar to me and some who are different from me. in this way， i can have the best of both worlds. for instance， when i want to relax or when i am too tired to be careful about my speech and manner， i can stay with those friends who are like me. but， when i feel like it， it is also possible for me to stay with those who are different from me and learn something new.
