I partly agree with this statement. For example, I think that is important to be interested in the same things but I think that only in some things. I believe that if you aren’t interested in the same things, it probably means that your friend could show you things that you don’t know and this is important for your life. You can learn new things, such as practicing some sports or even learning any language (if you meet somebody from another country). However it’s also possible that some people don’t like different people and sometimes it can be complicated to socialize with them. There are many narrow-minded people that always think about themselves and don’t like to learn new things. Fortunately, I’ve learned different things throughout my life. I’m lucky because as a result of leaving home, I’ve met new people here in Zaragoza, and this is an advantage for me.
