Maybe your friends similiar to you can have common language, same experience and same race with you. You can feel many similiar points with these friends. Comparatively, if you choose friends different with you such as language, experience and race, it might expose new world to you. This is exciting. I prefer to choose friends different with me.
A friends is a new world to me. For example, after I came to the States, I began to know many native friends. While communicating with them, I not only improved my english oral but also get to know the States. They invited me to join some banquets, which is not same to Chinese. They played golf with me and introduced some sports to me. In addition, I went to the church with them, and I get to understand them.
Every friends different with you will share their experience with you. One friend of me is a travel lover. He has ever travelled by driving the car all over the States. Every time we have some leisure time, we would like to hear his travelling story. This is like we are travelling with him. Through his eyes, we knowed many kinds of custom and folk.
One friend of us is a moslin from Arab. He is very nice. But he has his own relious. Though we have many different points to the world, we get to know a lot of different views from different roots. I feel that this help us understand them completely. We are so different in the points of view, but this do not hinder us be friend.
In summary, friends different with me can give me a new, different world. I like to make friends with them.
