nds．Some of US like similar friends，while others different friends．Personally，I prefer both．

It goes without saying that having similar friends has many advantages．We can feel a sense of strength when we have a group of old friends who share our suffering and happiness．Naturally，anybody with an ambition in life，

frequent contact with different friends broadens my world outlook．For instance，during my stay

abroad，
