请客（treat somebody to a meal）

了解自己的人就是朋友，所以汉语中“知己”的意思就是朋友。我们都希望跟诚实的人交朋友，跟这样的人在一起我们觉得快乐，觉得放心。我们一般还喜欢跟那些性格、爱好差不多的人交朋友，因为性格、爱好相同的人有很多的共同语言。当然，跟性格、爱好不同的人也可以成为好朋友，有人就喜欢跟自己不一样的人交朋友。
一般性格外向开朗、说话幽默、脾气好的人比较容易交到朋友，别人也愿意跟他们在一起，​​因为有他们的地方就有笑声​​；性格内向的人不太爱说话，但他们也可以成为最好的朋友，​​好朋友不一定是那些最能说话的人​​。

诚实【chéngshí】-honest
性格【xìnggé】-character; nature; disposition
爱好【àihào】-hobby
外向【wàixiàng】-extroversive
开朗【kāilǎng】-sanguine
幽默【yōumò】-humorous
脾气【píqi】-temperament
内向【nèixiàng】-introversive

Friends 朋友

I just came up with one thought while watching this movie. 
“This is why we learn history!”
Not only does this movie describe Korean history very well, but it also introduces both positions unbiased.
Especially, I love watching the debate between the two main characters. 
What would you choose? 
It is a movie where you can learn the history and wisdom of lives!

이 영화를 보면서 제가 느낀 점은 딱 하나였어요. 
“이래서 우리가 역사를 배워야 하는구나!”
한국 역사를 아주 잘 묘사하면서도 두 입장을 치우침 없이 공평하게 소개한 명작입니다. 
특히, 두 배우의 토론이 아주 멋진데요.
당신이라면 어느 쪽을 선택할건가요?
역사를 배우고, 인생의 지혜를 배울 수 있는 영화!
