Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the saying“A man is known by his friends.”You can cite one example or two to illustrate your point of view. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
Outgoing and dynamic individuals may choose to make friends with those who are different from them in order to make their personal lives more colorful. In contrast, introverted people tend to prefer making friends with those who are similar to them in personality, as they are well-acquainted with the traits of such individuals.
Building friendship with people of different personalities and learning about their lifestyles can help broaden your range of experiences and horizons. Through friends, you can learn about people, events and things you would never have an opportunity to encounter, thereby promoting personal growth . Establishing such friendship can be very rewarding. On the other hand, if your friends share similar personalities with you, being with them will make you feel more comfortable because you are very familiar with their temperaments.
For my part, I enjoy making friends with people who have different personalities from mine. Interacting with friends of diverse personalities helps me enhance social skills, expand mindset, and enrich life experience.
性格外向奔放的人为使个人生活更加多姿多彩，可能会选择跟自己性格不同的人交朋友。相反，内向的人往往更喜欢跟自己性格相似的人交朋友，因为这类人的秉性自己一清二楚。
与性格不同的人结交朋友，了解他们的生活方式，有助于增长见识，开阔眼界。从朋友那里你可以了解到自己从未有机会接触的人、事、物，从而促进个人成长。建立这样的友谊很有意义。另一方面，如果朋友跟自己的性格相似，跟他们在一起会让你觉得更舒服，因为你非常熟悉他们的性情。
就我而言，我喜欢跟与自己性格不同的人交朋友。与不同性格的朋友交往，有助于我提高社交技能，拓展思维模式，丰富人生体验。

国内考试的写作部分已经多次考查有关“友谊”的话题，如：1994年考研写作考查“关于交朋友”；2007年专业四级写作考查“是否应该网上交友”；2015年考研英语（一）写作考查“手机时代的聚会”。
① My opinion is that when we are young, we should learn to use our time wisely, read and study more to improve ourselves for our future careers. 在我看来，我们年轻时就应学会合理利用时间，多读书学习以完善自我，为日后的职业生涯做准备。
② In my opinion, solitary activities such as studying, reading, or doing research on the Internet, are much more valuable than hanging around with friends for drinking coffee, gossiping, or going to the movies. 在我看来，自己一个人学习、读书或上网查资料，要比跟朋友泡在一起喝咖啡、闲聊、看电影有意义得多。
③ Sometimes when I am with friends, I can't help but think that I could be spending that time doing something more useful, so I would rather spend most of my time alone. 有时跟朋友在一起，我会忍不住想，这段时间我其实可以做点更有用的事。所以，我宁愿大部分时间独处。
