　　it is unive rsally known tha t f riendship is one of the eternal themes in the litera tur e of all languages . this is because human beings were born to need the warmth and laughter of f riends . however it is impos sible for us to make friends with everybody . we have to choose tr ue friends . some of us like similar friends , while others differ ent f riend s . per sonally , i pr efer both .

　　it goes without saying that having similar f riends has many advantages . we can feel a sense of st rength when we have a group of old f riends who would sha re our sufferings and happiness . mor eove r , old friends always know how to maintain mutual t rust and how to avoid potential f riction . i always feel delight ed when i meet an old friend afte r a long depa rture . immediat ely , hear ty laughter fills the atmosphere .

　　never theless i believe that a mixture of friends is equally advantageou s . in the first place, f requent contact with dif ferent friends broadens my wor ld outlook . for instance, i have found it a r eal tr easur e to have so many f riends on the campus who of ten help me r einforce my beliefs . secondly , i have found tha t differ ent f riends cannot only lead to new adventures but also s how me new avenues in life . thirdly , they can help me with whateve r difficulties i encounter in life .

　　to conclude, i prefe r to have both types of f riends and as many as possible . of course , i will not forget to choose friends wisely .
