It is better to spend time with one or two close friends than with a large number of friends.*agree |
My friend, Hanah, prefers to meet many people and a large number of friends through active club or a gathering since she thinks it is easier to learn many things and get different experiences from diverse people. Some people also like to spend time with many friends like her. In my opinion, however, it is better to have time with one or two close and trustworthy friends than many friends who have shallow interaction with me. To begin with, it is easier to develop deep relationship with only one or two friends than numerous friends. To make true relationship people should spend lots of time with their friends and give cares to them. Therefore, if people want to make many friends with trustful relationship, they should spend substantial time with them rather than one or two ones. Also it is difficult to maintain relationship with many friends for long time since people have narrow connections if they spend time with not a few number of friends, but a large one of friends. For example, when I was a high school student, I had many friends who spent time with me only break time between classes; we rarely hung out after the school. I don’t keep in touch with them and don’t know their news. In addition, people can share profound conversations with their one or two close friends. As they spend time a lot and listen to each other’s talking carefully, they can have a lot in common and know each other deeply. For instance, my fiend who is really intimate with me and frequently has conversations is only one person known my problems that I am reluctant to tell other problems. We help each other to find solutions of respectivly different personal issues. On the other hand, with many friends who lightly interact with people likely have small and superficial talks. Furthermore, sometimes it looks like a uselessness because of these conversations regarding trivialites. |
