Many people says that it is important to have many acquaintances around. However, from my point of view, I think it is more important to have some really close friends. Because it is more fun and there are some of things which is impossible to do together with acquaintances. The reasons and examples listed below will strengthen my point of view.
First of all, when gathering together with close friends, it is more fun than gathering with others. Close friends can have jokes more comfortably and also can communicate more naturally, doesn’t have to pretend something goes happy with me even though I’m not. For instance, when I had chance to have lunch with my acquaintance who is my senior of college, I couldn’t speak naturally because I didn’t know what subjects could be in common with him. And I think this is because I don’t know much of him. However, when I’m with my close friends, jokes are giving and taking and everybody speaks naturally, nobody pretends like as if he is happy.
In addition, close friends can do something which acquaintances can’t. Telling about my worries to close friends will be good an example of this. Close friends are people who listen more carefully about my worries and also a people who can give advices which acquaintances don’t. Moreover, close friends can help me if I’m in big troubles. For instance, I’ve lost my wallet and it was very late night that I had no way to get back to my home. I called my close friends to pick me up and although it was really late in the night and far away, he came to pick me up by his car. I strongly believe this is which only close friends can do not the acquaintances.
To sum up, although it is important to have many acquaintances, I firmly believe having some close friends are more important. Because of many advantages such as fun, telling them about my worries. |
