It is more important to keep your old friends than it is to make new friends. Would you please give me your opinion about my essay? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. I strongly believe that making new friends is as important as keeping old friends. Although no one can deny the important role of old friends in our life, we should make new friends as well. There are some reasons why I support this idea. First, by making new friends, you experience new stuff. Just keeping old friends leads to boredom. For example, I used to go to the movies with one of my friends named Tony. Tony didn’t like opera. For this reason , I never tried to see an opera. I met a girl at a party whose name is Julia. She is a big fan of opera. One day, I decided to see an opera with her. That was amazing. I didn’t know that seeing an opera could be an interesting experience. I used to believe that seeing an opera is boring but after going to the opera, I began to find and make new friends in order to experience wonderful things. If I hadn’t met Julia , I would not have had such an amazing experience. Second, old friends are not available all the time, especially when you need help. One of my oldest friend is David. David is married now. When he was single , he used to spend his free time with me. He always helped me when I had a problem. After getting married , he got so busy and it’s been two years since I last saw him. One day, I decided to borrow some money from him. He said that he couldn’t help me because he had bought her wife an expensive gift. I didn’t know what to do. I really needed money. I decided to call a new friend named Michael. I met him 3 weeks ago. Although I didn’t expect him to help me, he decided to lend me some money. I used to believe that I could always count on my old friends but after Michael helped me, I changed my mind about this issue. In conclusion, based on the reasons mentioned above, making new friends is as important as keeping old friends. New friends are as reliable and trustworthy as old friends. On the other hand , by making new friends , you will experience new stuff because doing the same thing with old friends causes boredom.
