Đề bài:
It is sometimes claimed that ‘opposites attract’ when it comes to friendship. Write an essay in which you give your own opinion of this view taking into consideration personality and appearance.
Bài luận:
It is sometimes claimed that opposites attract when it comes to friendship. On the whole, I don’t agree with that opinion. I think people choose like-minded friends. That extends to physical appearance - if you have similar tastes, you may appreciate similar clothes and hairstyles. Personally, I think that you may be long-term friends with someone who is on the same wavelength as you. I think opposites do attract, but those different qualities that attracted you at first can annoy you later!
My closest friend, Helen, is quite similar to me. Having said that, we do not have everything in common - in fact, the differences keep our friendship interesting. However, we share broad interests and personalities, so we can spend a lot of time together. It’s in the details that we differ. For example, we love sports but support different teams. And although we’re both sociable, Helen is more outgoing than me.
When it comes to appearance, a similar appearance can lead to attraction. Helen and I share style. We enjoy shopping and swapping clothes. These activities wouldn’t work if we had different interests.
So, in my view, although you may be attracted to a friend who is completely opposite to you, the best kind of friend is one that you have enough in common with, so that your friendship lasts a long time.
