▶ Your Answer : Some people think that moving to a new
place is bad because they will lose their old friends. However, in my opinion, moving
to a new place do not affect the relationship with their old friends. This is
because you can still get in touch with them through lots of ways and it could
make it possible to get more chances to make new friends.
To begin with, you can contact with your
remote friends with several ways. There are so many SNS messenger and developed
telecommunication methods. So you can talk with them whenever you want.
For example, I had to move to Seoul because
of studying for a new school when I was 20. I had lived in another city for 20
years, and I was left so far from my old hometown friends. But we contacted
with each other through Facebook and KaKaoTalk. In addition, we could have a
talk through the phone calls. So I have maintained a good relationship with my
friends who still live in my hometown. For this reason, I firmly believe that
distance do not matter in a friendship.
On top of that, settling in a new city
means you can get a more chances to make new relationships. In a new place, you
can meet many different people, so it means that you can also make a lifelong
friend in there.
For instance, there was a poll conducted by
the HYU Psychology Laboratory with people who migrated to a new country as respondents.
The purpose of the survey was to understand the consensus view about the human
relationship of migrated people. The majority of respondents said they were
more satisfied with their human relationship than before they moved to a new
city. An overwhelming 70% had responded that they were much satisfied with
their relationship since they made lots of friends in a new place. They thought
that their new friends were close as much as their old friends who lived in
their hometown. This survey proves people have a positive view of moving to a
new city.
In a nutshell, people can get in touch with
their long-distance friends through lots of ways and make much better friends
pool through moving to a new place. In this regard, I think that it is a good
choice to have a new habitat in novel place. |
