▶ Your Answer :
People’s intellectual, social and personal
development are highly influenced by their human relationships. With this
understanding, I believe that it is more important for people to have the
ability to make new friends easily rather than having the ability to maintain a
small number of friends for a long time. This is because the ability to make
new friends easily enables people to learn how to cooperate with each other and
enjoy a better quality of life.
Firstly,
the ability to make new friends easily makes people to learn how to cooperate
with other people. Understanding the daily social environment of people and the
potential role of the ability to make new friends is necessary to substantiate
this view. For instance, most senior executives in leading corporations stated
that the key to their success is the ability to easily make close relationships
with other people. This is because easily forming close relationships with
other people can collaborate well with other people, which results in improve
work performances. They added that the ability to make new friends easily and a
sense of cooperation are regarded more highly now than in the past because
today’s huge problems and tasks cannot be resolved by one individual’s talent
and ability; rather they must be processed with the advice and help of others.
In this regard, I argue that the ability to make new friends easily allows
people to learn how to cooperate with each other.
Secondly,
the ability to make new friends easily makes people to enjoy a better quality
of life. Interestingly, a renowned social scientist in South Korea published an
article in “The Korean Herald” last Tuesday which claims that the ability to
make new friends easily enables people to broaden their relationships with
their friends and families. The ability to make new friends easily provides
meaningful opportunities for people who are struggling to connect with their families
and peers. Essentially, meeting new friends, and enjoying with them promotes
social activities that encourage people to openly interact with their views and
ideas and fresh their minds. Such intercommunication builds a platform not only
to express one’s own dispositions but also to share enjoyable memories. Compared
with remaining a small number of friends for a long time, people who have a small
number of friends are limited by friend’s time and locations and so on. I
thought this report because the results of the survey resonated with my
thoughts.
To
sum up, I believe that having the ability to make new friends easily is more
important than having the ability to maintain a small number of friends for a
long time for the following reasons: learning
how to cooperate with each other and enjoying a better quality of life.
Consequently, the importance of my view cannot be underestimated for the
reasons I have mentioned.
