Comment on the following statement: |
| It's easier to make friends than to keep them. | |
|
What is your opinion? Do you agree with this statement? |
|
|
Some people say that it is easier to make friends than to keep them, whereas others say that it is not true. They consider keeping friends as an easier job.
In my opinion it is easier to make new friends than to keep good relationship with the old ones. First of all, making new friends takes less time. For example, one can go to a club and make a lot of new friends in a few hours. Secondly, it is easier to impress people when a person just meets them for the first time. For instance, people tend to show only good qualities in the beginning of any relationship. They are always polite, they smile and are always ready to help.
At the same time there are some people who think that it is easier to keep friends than to make them. They say that it is really hard to come up to a stranger and start a conversation. There is also a big chance to meet a person with completely different interests who peple can hardly get along with.
I my opinion those people are just too shy to talk to a stranger. In order to keep good relationship one should have qualities like tolerance and understanding that are hard to find nowadays.
In conclusion I would like to say that it is not very easy to make new friends or to keep them. Yet, choosing between what is easier I would say that making new friends is easier than keeping current friends. Making new friends takes less time and effort, patience and willingness to compromise than keeping current friends. |

Comment on the following statement: |
| The most important thing in life is family. |
|
|
What is your opinion? Do you agree with this statement? |
|
|
Some people say that the most important thing in life is family, whereas others say that money and business are more important.
In my opinion family is the most important thing in life. First of all, family can support a person in times of troubles. For example, if one has some problems, family members are the first ones who will come to help. Secondly, having a family is a part of human nature. For instance, people need to be surrounded by those who really love them and family members are those who love each other without reservation. Moreover, without a family a person feels lonely.
At the same time there are people who think that money is more important. They say that if you have money you can buy support and protection. Knowing that a person has more money, people will be more attracted to him or her and such a person will never feel lonely.
I cannot agree with the second opinion mentioned above for a particular reason. In my opinion relationships that are based on money are not jasting. One can run out of money and all their friends will abandon such a person. One can buy a lot of things but not friendship. In family a person can get real care and love no matter if they have money or not.
In conclusion I would like to say that having family and money are very important. Nevertheless, if a person has to choose one or the other, I believe he or she should choose family with all its troubles and happiness that it might bring. Money and riches will come automatically if people really need them. |
