◆Step 1 Compare you with one of your friends and complete the following table.

答案： | | Similarities | Differences |
| Appearance | We both have black hair. | I am taller than her. |
| Personality | We are both friendly. | She is more outgoing than me. |
| Hobby | We both like reading books. | She likes singing, but I like dancing. |
| Habit | We both get up early. | She usually exercises in the morning, but I exercise in the afternoon. |

◆Step 2 Do you think friends should be similar or different? What can you learn from the similarities and the differences?

答案： I think friends can be both similar and different in various aspects.
Similarities are important as they help build a strong bond between friends. For example, if two friends have similar hobbies, such as both loving reading, they can share their favorite books and exchange ideas, which enhances their friendship. From these similarities, I can learn how to better communicate and connect with others who share my interests.
On the other hand, differences also play a significant role. If friends have different strengths, like one is good at math and the other is good at languages, they can learn from each other. The one good at math can help the other with math problems, and vice versa for languages. From these differences, I can broaden my horizons, acquire new knowledge and skills, and develop a more inclusive attitude towards different things.
In conclusion, both similarities and differences in friends can bring positive influences, and I can learn a lot from them.
