8月21日It is often not a good thing to move to a new city or a new country because of the loss of old friends.
Maybe it will happen in your life in the future, when you are moving to a new city. Some old friends have lost of touch with you. And you cannot find the way to re-touch with them. What would you feel about this? Missing is necessary, but not effective. That is to say, for me, nothing is more evident that it is often not a good thing to move to a new city or a new country because of the loss of old friends.
My main reason, pervasive and persuasive, associates with the point that old friends are more helpful when you are in trouble, because you have a deep relationship and know much about each other. For example, when I just entered the university campus, everyone is strange to me. I cannot make close friends with them. So I keep in touch with my old friends in high school to share my experience in the college. And they can give me some idea for how to get along with new people. Ireally appreciate to them.
At the same time, it should also be emphasized that you can play with your old friend outside in your city. It is very convenient for you all to watch a movie, play basketball and eat some delicious food no matter what the time is, because you are so close to meet. But if you are in different city, it could not happen unless one of you to visit other one from far away. That seems too sad to see an old friend after a long interval.
At the first thought, some opponents might claim that move to a new city or a new country can make some new friends to instead of old ones. But persuasive as it seems to be, a close analysis would reveal how flimsy it is. As we all know, not only making close friends is difficult, but also get close with someone strange is hard too. In order to make new friends instead of old friends is not necessary. The reason is that you have to waste lots time to build trust with new friends, but old ones need not to do so.
Taking into account all these factors, we may safely draw the conclusion that It is often not a good thing to move to a new city or a new country because of the loss of old friends.
