▶ Your Answer : Some people think that moving to a different city or country is not a good experience since people lose their old friends. However, in my opinion, it can be a great opportunity for following subsequent reasons.
To begin with, people can maintain their friendship in various ways. We can keep in touch with others who live far away via email, text message or SNS these days. This media deliver information very quickly so we don't need to wait for a reply for long or worry about contact loss. For example, one of my best friends in high school had to move to France due to his parents' business. I was really sad when I heard the news, and we promised to send an email to each other every week. After exchanging emails for 4 years, we are still best friends for each other today. This case shows that distance is not an obstacle for close relationship.
On top of that, moving to a new environment can be a good chance to develop one's creativity. When we move to a new place, we can meet new neighbors and friends. New people and environment can foster new ideas and enhance creative thinking. Also, people need a time for adjustment to a new place and by doing this, people can figure out the ways of thinking that they have never done before. According to a survey which is conducted by Sun Moon University, people think that moving to a different city helps creative thinking. In a study, 300 people were asked whether moving to a new environment is beneficial for one's creativity or not. The result was surprising. Almost 75% of them answered that moving has a good effect on creativity. This results show that many people believe that new environment enhance creative thinking.
In a nutshell, we do not need to afraid of moving because we can still send regard to our old friends and improve our thinking possibilities. In this regard, I contend that moving to a new city or country is a helpful experience for one's life. |
