▶ Your Answer : There might be some people who think that a wealthy person and a poor person can be close. However, I personally believe that the both cannot be close friends with each other for the following two subsequent reasons.
To begin with, if one is very wealthy and the other is poor, spending time together would be stressful. People usually have a quality time depending on their wealth condition. This means, wealthy people have a different pastime compared to those who are not wealthy. Thus, it is impossible for them to hang out with one another. To illustrate my story as an example, I had a friend called G-dragon (ㅎㅎ 이걸 보고 첨삭하다가 저도 모르게 미소가 나오네요) when I was in college. At first, I liked him so much because he sometimes bought me a gift. However, after I went to his birthday party, I felt lonely and depressed because at that time, he and his wealthy friends enjoyed horse riding which I had never heard about. For this reason, I realized that I could not become his close friend. (이 예시가 성립하려면 일단 슬프지만 예시 속의 I는 지드래곤과 비교해서 가난하다는 점을 전제로 삼아야 합니다.)
Next, people cannot offer great comfort to friends who are in a very different financial status to themselves. Friends can usually figure out their friend's problem and understand one another. However, since others who are in different wealth status grew up in different backgrounds and surroundings, they cannot truly understand, so it is which makes it hard for them to sympathize and give useful advice. For instance, when I was in high school, I loved to use Facebook, one of social networking sites. When I uploaded my problems with my family, my best friend sometimes gave me good advice. However, as time went by, I felt uncomfortable because he often give me unrealistic advice. Once I fought with my younger sister, he told me to sail a boat with her. This advice made me get upset but he did not understand the situation. Finally, I decided not to hang out with him anymore. (여기도 마찬가지입니다. 논제 및 글의 핵심인 경제적 상태에 대해 언급이 없으면 이 예시는 아무런 의미가 없어요.)
To sum up, if one person is very wealthy and the other is poor, they would be stressed and cannot be offered good comfort. In this regard, I strongly believe that it is impossible for two people to be close friends who are in different wealth condition to be close friends.
총평: 많은 분들께서 실수하시는 부분 중 하나가 예시를 적을 때 주장, 근거의 일부분만 커버되게 적는 것입니다. 지금도 본론 두 번째 문단을 보면 예시에서 좋은 위로를 줄 수 있다는 점에 대해서는 언급이 되었지만 친구의 경제적 상태에 관한 점은 전혀 찾아볼 수가 없죠. 이럴 경우 반쪽짜리 예시가 되어버리기 때문에 주의를 해주셔야 합니다. 수고하셨습니다 :) |
