▶ Your Answer : Some people think that moving to a new region makes people lose their old friends. However, in my opinion, it is not a bad idea to move to a new city or country for the following two reasons. First of all, people can make new friends in the new area. In addition, people can meet their old friends if they form a plan meticulously. To begin with, people will be able to make new friends after moving. People usually have a lot of concerns when they move to a new city or country because they do not have any friends there. However, these worries will can be dealt with by making new friends in the new region. For example, according the a survey conducted by UCLA’s research department, about 80 percent of participants reported that they were frustrated after moving because they did not know anyone in the new area. However, they were able to overcome their bad condition by making new friends. They also mentioned that it was not difficult to make new friends since a lot of neighbors welcomed them and made a strong effort to have many talks with them. Thus, they did not feel sad or depressed anymore and did so many things with new friends such as watching a movie or having meals together. Consequently, it is evident that it is not bad to move to the new area because people can meet new neighbors. On top of that, people can meet their old friends anytime they want after moving. Friendship lasts even if they cannot see each other for awhile, since it is not easily broken. Thus, they do not have worry about their friendship. For instance, when I was in high school, my old friend moved to Japan. I thought that I would never see her again, but she came to Korea to meet her friends at least twice a year. She said that she had to make meticulous plans before visiting Korea because she was too busy with her work. Even though she was busy, she wanted to see her friends and visited Korea when she wanted. With her effort, we still sometimes have a gathering at my house. As a result, it turns out that people do not have to feel sad about moving to other region, since they still can meet their friends. To sum up, even though they move to other area, they can make new friends there and still can see their old friends too. In this regard, I believe that it is not a bad idea to move to a new city or country. |
