答案     Which kind of friends is more desirable, different friends or similar friends? Since people’s criterion for friendship differs, they may never agree on the above issue. Personally, I have made friends with people from all walks of life, and these different friendships are such a precious treasure for me.
    In the first place, a mixture of friends can bring us many practical benefits. As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. Since we all need to move on in life, we need new friends to lead us to new adventures, new career opportunities and new life. In fact, most of us have to make new friends when we leave school and find employment. Besides, different friends can help us with the different difficulties that we encounter in life. And the friend in a foreign country might be able to arrange cheap accommodation for a holiday.
    In the second place, the contact with different friends gives us a broad outlook on life. As the Chinese sage Confucius put it, "When three persons walk together, one of them can surely be my teacher." Since we all have our own weaknesses, the strengths of different friends can always complement each other. For example, from a friend who majors in computer, I have learned how to design my own web page; by exchanging e-mails with an American pen-friend, I have greatly improved my English writing. In addition, different friends can help me to enjoy a variety of interests, and we can always attract each other with our different hobbies, ideas and experiences. I feel that I can always find new things to learn from my various different friends.
    All in all, although "birds of a feather flock together," I would like to fly with "birds" of different feathers, which would certainly make my life more colourful.
