Some people think it's better to choose friends who always have the same opinions as them. Other people believe it's good to have friends who sometimes disagree with them. Discuss both these views arid give your own opinion.

does not always support his

. We all have some faults. So, a real

should address his

who encourages us and objectively criticise us when necessary.
