8.2 独立 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?It is often not a good thing to move to a new city or a new country because of the lose of old friends
Is that really true that we will lose old friends when we move to a new city or a new country? Someone believes that it is the truth. Since when we move to a new place, it is natural that we will make new friends and it may be possible that we gradually lose contact with old friends. However, in my opinion, it may be not the case for the following reasons.
Just think about the transportation in our modern city. In ancient times, you cannot image that you can get to Hainan which is in the south of China from Beijing, north of China, just in one day, maybe even a few hours. With the development of transportation, we can see that wherever you are, you can get to wherever you want just at most in a few days by plane, high-speed rail and many other advancing transportations. Thus it doesn't matter where you live, if you want, you can see your old friends. Take one of my friends, who study in France now as an example. She has been lived and studied in France three years, however, we are still good friends. She always comes back to China in summer holidays to meet our old friends. We talk and share our own experiences with each other and we all can feel that our friendship will last forever.
In addition, nowadays is the information times. Even if you move to a new city, which is far away from your old friends, you can also contact with your friends with various communicating ways such as e-mail, telephone, internet and so forth. Actually, my friend who lives in France now, usually talks to us on the internet. We chat with each other, knowing what happens to our friends in different days as if we are living close. Thus our friendship doesn't ever change. As a matter of fact, the key of the question that whether you will lose of old friends or not should be the attitude of making friends. Someone may point out that it is true that the transportation is more and more convenient and we can contact each other with a variety of communicating ways in nowadays, however, it is because that it may be possible that we forget old friends since we will have new friends in a new place. Well, I admit that. However, it is your own choice to make friends and it is the attitude of making friends that lead to different consequences. For example, compared to that friend who lives in France now, Lily, who is our another friend who moved to America a few years ago, does not always contact with our old friends. We can know that her new life in the United States is going well through her blog. So to be honest, it is the attitude of making friends, or in other word, the importance of old friends for you, that matters whether you will lose of your old friends or not.
As an old saying goes, friendship needs operation. The more you contact with your old friends, the firmer your friendship with your old friends will be, no matter where you live. |
