I'm confused about how to understand an essay question or topic sentence [13]
Some people choose friends who are different from themselves. Other choose friends who are similar to themselves. Compare the advantages of having friends who are different from you with the advantages of friends who are similar to you. Which kinds of friend do you prefer? Why?
I try my first draft. There are any problems with my essay
Although friends who are different are agreeable to you, i prefer friends who are similar to me. They can be flexble to my humiliating behaviors in school.
First, there are advantages of friends who are different to you. Despite the fact that it is difficult to adapt to old students, you have more confidence to follow your dream without any biases. Even though some prejudices become of you, you are not anxious about them. When there are projects in group, you are confident to express your opinions. You are able to present distinct points from other group members. In an individual paper, you are not shy about explain it to other classmates in front of the class without any embarrassment. Moreover, you can go anywhere alone. During the free time, you think about reading books under a tree shade near a flag post, which is very suited to self-learning.
Second, there are advantages of friends who are similar to you. It is very easy to make friends with existing students. When working in group, you are assigned works equally. If having problems, other group members come to help you. Moreover, you have a lot of friends to eat lunch and study in group in the free time. They want you to go to a school library to pick out useful books to read. Before going home, you can talk to your friends about what to do and where to meet tomorrow.
Finally, i prefer friends who are similar to me because i am too shy to express myself openly. When first going to school, i need a friend who introduces me to other students in class. As i am not talkative, i want a friend who chooses a group for me. I am not confident when assigned works to do; therefore, it is better for me to have a friend who can select appropriate papers.
Even though always going alone, i really want one who can sit down and read books, especially in a library. Besides, I will not be happy if i have to go home without having a meeting with a friend. I want one who will go to school with me tomorrow.
In conclusion, many benefits of friends dissimilar to me is apparent to me; conversely, i need a friend who is able to quickly adapt to my sensitive feelings in order to help direct me towards a good future.
