Friends play an important part in our lives, but we don&39;t know much about how to make friends. As we get to know people, we consider things like age, races, looks and social positions. Thus it is more difficult for people to become friends if there is a big difference in age and background. However, some people don&39;t think these factors are of the most importance.
朋友在我们的生活中扮演着重要的角色，但我们对如何交朋友却知之甚少。当我们认识人时，我们会考虑年龄、种族、外表和社会地位。因此，如果年龄和背景有很大的差异，人们就很难成为朋友。然而，有些人并不认为这些因素是最重要的。
