It is more important to keep old friends than to make new friends. Do you agree or disagree? As we have a more opportunity to make a new friend in modern society, there is an argument over whether it is more important to keep old friends than to make new friends, In personally, I totally agree with the above statement for the following reasons. First of all, I can feel more comfortable and have a funny time with my old friends. In addition, my old friends can advise me properly when I get a trouble. First and foremost, I think that old friends are usually more comfortable than new friends. That is, I can talk to my old friends more easily. When I have a conversation with my a new friend, I always hesitate to decide what I should say, what subjects we talk about. However, in a old friend case, I don't worry about it, because they who know my backgrounds well can understand my words without any thinking, they laugh at my jokes more easily. It is due to duration of our friendship. It is a common belief the longer you spend with someone, the more you understand him or her. I strongly believe that the same can be said of relationship between friends. Next, I can receive a valuable advice from my old friends. Although my new friends also can help me give a suitable advice, Old friends's advice is more useful for me. They can provide me with a priceless advice because they know me well. In other words, Since we have known each other for a long time, they can notice and realize my problems even without any words. I think that's a true friends. Moreover, there is an old saying "A friend in need is a friend indeed". Suppose that, If I get a serious problem, and then if worse comes to worst, my new friends would leave me. My old fiends, however, will be there for me. They are willing to help me under any severe situation. To be specific, I got a problem with my throat in the high school. I had to enter a hospital. People visiting me were not my new friends, but my old friends. From my experience, I suggest that you should take care of your old friends more, then they will pay back. |
