8.2 写作小分队作业 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 思路: [第一段:让步]远距离有时确实会对友情又不好的影响 E.g. 女孩儿通过一起shopping来增进感情, 而远距离不能做这些互动, 所以会影响感情 [第二段:反对]技术发展有利于友情的维系 E.g.高科技使得通讯得到发展, 如QQ,Skype等, 便于朋友们交流感情 [第三段:反对]新的环境可以结交新的朋友 E.g.原来不喜欢摇滚, 后来接触到了喜欢摇滚的朋友, 对此有了了解, 也逐渐喜欢了 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Whether moving to a new city would have a negative effect on one’s social circle and old friendships is relatively a subject of discussion, as such a long distance could act as a huge threaten to friendship, whereas it seems nothing can destroy a solid friendship. To agree or disagree with the title statement is a matter of balancing its pros and cons. However, if one considers the following reasons, he or she might disagree with the opinion as I do.
At the very beginning, I have to admit that an extremely long geographical distance can more or less affect a relationship. Many interactive activities between friends can act as an essential role in enhancing the emotion between people. For example, girls are all interested in shopping, which is one of the main compositions of friendship between girls. Through shopping together, girls cultivate common dressing style and communicating during the shopping can even bring them common value. As a result, girls usually shopping together will have similar treatment towards things around them, have more common interest to talk with, and therefore, their friendship are cultivated and enhanced. Long distance can be a obstacle for people to do any interactive activities and thereby prevent the growth of friendship.
However, the development of high-technology makes this kind of challenging for the friendship a little bit different. Birth of mobile phone, common use of computers, and the fast advancing transportation narrow the physical distance between friends and enable them to contact with each other more frequently. Take the people who go abroad for example. Several years ago, communication cross the national border is not that convenient. E-mail and long-distance telephone were the fastest way for people in different countries to communicate. The delay of email and the expensive cost of phone mean that connecting every day was only a dream. Different from the past, nowadays there are many methods that are available for people to choose. Online communicator such as Skype and QQ, variable mobile phone software using free wifi, and the convenient and low priced transportation all benefit those long-distance friends and lovers a lot. They are enabled to share each other’s feelings without delay, and can even work out solutions when one of them gets in trouble. The distance is almost likely to be eliminated!
Another factor that should not be ignored is the building of new social circle. If a person rejects to move to a new place because of worrying his or her old friends, he will loose the opportunity to extent his own networking and meet some new friends. There is a saying goes that “every friend is a teacher for you.” Finding more new friends, therefore, usually bring you new skills, new attitude and new values towards the world and profound your vision as well. Friends’ interest can always affect each other and finally become the common interest of the two people. For instance, I used to have little interest in the rock music. After entering the university and met Swally, who is a fan of rock & roll, I began to listen to songs in this category and find the fascination inside them. I am half a rock fan now. Sometimes I even scream and jump for some rock group together with Swally!
Taking all these factors discussed above into discussion, I am fully convincing that the worry of friendship being affected by the long distance is no longer necessary. Consequently, it is even highly advisable to suggest that, at the same time to enhance old friendship, people should also grasp the chance and pay attention to cultivate new relationship when moving to a new environment in order to improve themselves.
