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. (인트로 매우 좋습니다)
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 (other people이라는 표현을 너무 많이 사용하세요.), 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 of 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.
