How do you choose a friend? Do you speak the same language? Do you come from the same place? Do you have the same interests or believe in the same ideas? How do you know when someone isn't a friend? Do you choose not to be friends with some people for some of the above reasons (different language, place, interests, beliefs)? How easily can a friend become not a friend? How does that happen?

- I have been a language teacher (ESL/ELL, French) for 30 years. I have taught in public and private schools, immersion programs, refugee programs, adult/continuing education, elementary, middle, and high school as well as university. Currently I teach ELL at a high school somewhere in New England.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion,I think make friends is regardless of country or race.If a person wants to know if a person is a friend，You need to see if this person will help you or comfort to you when you are in trouble and you can also see from the money whether this person is a friend,for example,borrow money from him.If two peoples perior to were friends and after weren’t friend.Because of these two peoples have become distrustful each other.I usually make friends with people who share the same hobbies or who can get along with me .
I think making a friends doesn’t depend on the language and the country, but friends must be comfortable with each other. Also, we need have similar beliefs. But I won’t choose a person that has bad habits to become a friend. I believe if we are really true friends, nothing will chance our friendship.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, making friends does not have to be in the same language, nor does it need to be from the same country ,as long as they have the same personality and point of view, they can become friends.

ReplyDeleteFriends are one of the most necessary for everyone. Because they can help when you have a trouble and make feel better. I also have a lot of friends. There is a point in my selection of friends. They are a kind person and a good friend. Friends are regardless of race, color, language. But I think friends with same country or different countries have a different advantages of it. But also, many people are friends with you for your own benefit or for other purposes. So keep your eyes when making friends.
ReplyDelete(Dowon Lee)First of all, It is obvious that if you and he or her use different language, the percentage to be a friend is abater than they use the same language. If you regard about to be a friend with a person who uses different languages, you know it will be harder. However, it doesn't mean you guys can't be a friend. So, it doesn't demand us to use the same language to be a friend. As long as they trust each other and make each other not feel abject humiliation or abnegate, I think they are ready to be a friend. Furthermore, they need to support each other. Support doesn't mean pretend to understand what each other is saying. They have to understand deeply. Lastly, the most important part of being a friend is they can forgive each other. If friends fight, they have to talk sincerely to each other and recover their relationship since they trust each other.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion,I don’t care about using same language and from same country. If both of them is interested in same category that more easy to be a friend but that’s not important.i every people can be friend. And When someone have bad behavior, i think someone who have bad behavior isn’t my real friends. But if someone have a bad habit I will help to fix bad habit to good habit.
ReplyDeleteThe friend that I choose, not necessarily be same language, want to have common interest only, good to me, can harmonious get along with, can become a friend, no matter this friend how, but can be my friend
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, it’s better and easier to have the same language, also if you are from the same country is much easier to make that new friend, I don’t care about the beliefs of the other person, I don’t know how to explain my self but you will know if that person is a rial friend or only want to be friends for some interest, to make a new friend or a person that you don’t like him is easy as meet him and then realize if you want him or no.
ReplyDeleteI think if we speak same language it’s easier to be friend. It’s not really matter speaking same language but if we speak same language it’s more easier to conversation and also we can share more to each other so we can be closer. But also we can be friend when we are not speaking same language. But in my opinion when we speak same language, it’s easier to be friend.
ReplyDeleteI think it’s interesting to make friends who are different from me. I don’t care if he or she speaks different language, comes from different country, or has different ideas and interests. I become friends with everyone. But if we share many things like language, country, interests, and ideas, it I’ll be much easier to be friends. I think someone who divide his friends by his own criteria like race and appearance and choose not to be friends with somebody are not my friends because I’m not that kind of person. I know I would not become friends with them. And I think a friend can become not friend very easily if we become far apart for some reasons. If we are not best friends, we would become not friends easily.
ReplyDeleteAs for me, the most important for me is we should have same interests and the second important is from same country or speak same language. If someone usually argues with me or plays jokes on me, I will not make friends with him. Anyway, when I am in trouble, real friends must come here and help me very quickly, however, not real friends may just laugh on me or do nothing, so that these persons will be strangers(not friends) to me. In fact, these real friends are very hard to be found. Therefore, we just should wait, I think real friends must will be found in the future.
ReplyDelete(Beto) For me, friends are one of the most important things that you can have, there is nothing better than a real friend, that he helps you always you need it.
ReplyDeleteThe language and the place are not too important but they help you make a friend, someone can't be your friend when he has problems with your friends

ReplyDeleteI think you chose your friends without realizing you are choosing them, in my point of view you make friends by meeting someone who has the same interests, humor and a similar personality. When you meet someone you start judging how he talks, what does he talks about and his body language and without a lot of thought you already know if that person is going or not to be your friend. Someone you make friends with people that has not much in common with you and still make a great relationship because you get to learn about how the other guy thinks. I really think that the easiest way to loose a friend is by loosing his trust and betraying him because the relationship never fully recovers.
I choose friends by my hobbies and characterIf he is kind and selfless, I am willing to make friends with him, but if he is selfish and swears, I will keep a long distance with him, and my friends usually choose people who share a common language to communicate better.
ReplyDeleteFriends is very important for all the persons. I choose my friends by good things and Hobbies. A friend is a important person in your life because one friend is like one brother. He help you in all the things that you need. The most friends that I have here are from Mexico and Spain is the same language.
ReplyDeleteA friend doesn’t matter from where is he what lenguaje speaks normally have the same interests and ideas and the same language than me but that is it doesn't demand us to use the same language to be a friend. As long as they trust each other and make each other not feel abject humiliation or abnegat. That’s why doesn’t matter where is he from and the lenguaje.
ReplyDeleteI often make friends. I never care which country he comes from and what language he speaks. When I make friends, if I find that he is not friendly to me or he often lies to me, I will not be good friends with him. But I never make friends with others because of international or language. If you want to be my friend, it's not good to lie to you and me
ReplyDeleteI don’t choose my friends at all cause it’s not right for anybody. In here I don’t speak my own language with only my brother and one Finnish kid. Not all of us are not coming from same places. I have my own interesting what i keep up. You know easily who’s not friend and who is. How he or she act is the how you see. No I usually choose friends from other friends and we keep up that. If someone is betraying you that’s how it can come not a friend or talking about you bad thinking’s.
ReplyDeleteMost of my friends are Chinese, and many of my friends play computer games with me. People who do n’t have the same interest with me generally do n’t become friends with me. If I quarrel with friends, he said too much, he No longer my friend
ReplyDeletefrom Sara:
ReplyDeleteI choose friends if they are good for me and if they are interested by me if they care for me they are my friends and I care for them.we don’t have to speak the same language and come from the same place but if they are from the same place that doesn’t mater. we don’t have to have /we have to have both work for me the same interests,believe or ideas. In my experience if someone wants only benefit that is fake friend .No I didn’t choose. I will tell them the truth .
from Pablo:
ReplyDeleteTo choose a friend you don’t have to have nothing in common, for me the main thing to choose a good friend is having fun with he and trust each other, you have to feel that he is not going to tell your secrets to anyone and you have to feel confortable with he.
from Isauro:
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion I don’t judge anyone before meeting them. For me is a lot easier to make friends that speak the same language but it’s also easy to make friends from other countries. In some cases when I make a friend is because we have the same ideas and that’s why we start to became friends. I know when someone is not a friend because the person is not nice or because I don’t talk with the person. In my opinion if you have a friend the person will always be your friend but it can happen to start talking lees because of a fight or something.
Isauro
I think finding a friend should be a combination of personality, common interests, and being able to help each other. Language is not a big problem. Of course, people who speak the same language are more likely to become friends.
ReplyDeleteA friend doesn't matter from where is he what lenguaje speaks normally have the same interests and ideas and the same language than me but that is it doesn't demand us to use the same language to be a friend. As long as they trust each other and make each other not feel abject humiliation or abnegat. That's why doesn't matter where is he from and the language.
ReplyDeleteI think to choose friends you don’t have to speak to same language but it is also important because how are you going to talk to him if you don’t know the same language . To be from the same place I have friends from out of the world To be from the same place I have friends from out of the world I speak 4 language sow for me is easy to communicate with others different part of the world. You can have different ideas end you can still be friends.
ReplyDeleteAlmost all my friends are the same religion or speak the same language but I don’t really care where he’s from or the ethnicity he is,I know when someone isn’t a friend when he’s mean or I can’t trust him. When they very close to me and I tell him everything ,that is how choose a friend.
ReplyDeleteIn my personal opinion I think where are you from is regardless in a friendship even tho the language is really important because even tho you know another lenguaje you don’t know how to totally express so I think language really should be San important thing in a friendship
