It's more important to keep you old friends than it is to make new friends.
Nowadays, there’s an increasing number of people who are lack of deep communication with others. One of the most important causes of that is they don’t pay much attention to building a strong, solid friendship. Instead of making more and more new friends, we could invest the same amount of time onto our old friends, the most intimate friends you might have.
A deep communication is not just about helping us know each other better. In many situations, we can even learn a lot of things that we didn’t know before. For instance, Jon and I have made a study team in the past days, reading English articles together, doing some chatting in English if we’d like to do, and sharing recent progress to each other at every weekend. One day, we learn many precious things from each other through modifying the essay. He’s good at using native words and phrases to express his thinking. In this progress, I learn many cool and useful sentences, and even how to write the essay like a native speaker. Also, I point out some grammar errors in his essay, and explain how we could correct it. From my experience, you can see a deep communication with your old friends is quite important. And that’s why we should put much value on it.
Admittedly, making new friends can let us know people from various fields. That will broaden our horizon, and help us get access to a large amount of information. However, it’s quite wasting time for us to make too much new friends. In my high school life, for example, my classmate Leon always spent three hours chatting with people after school. Many people are willing to make friends with him. Yes, he can be the most popular person in our school, but so what?! I just don’t think it’s a good way to enhance his social skills. In my opinion, he has lost the most important part of his study life.
Even though we don’t take into account all those above points, at least, when we’re in the most difficult situations, our real, old friends rather than the new ones would stand out and give us hands. For instance, in the school, you prepare for tests from day to night. To your surprise, your persistence doesn’t pay off, and you finally fail in these tests. When your heart is full of shadow, darkness and even helplessness, who will come out to help you? The answer is your best and old friends. They will clap you on the back and say “if you try your best, nothing to regret.” to confort you. Another example, if you feel uncomfortable in the company, your colleague who has a deep friendship with you will take you to the hospital immediately, though he doesn't get the agreement from his boss. He even doesn’t care if his bonus will be cut or not. For him, when you’re in trouble, he will never leave you alone.
