Agree or disagree: It is often not a good thing to move to a new city or a new country because people will lose contact with old friends? 【2009.10.31重复2014.3.1】
It is generally nice experience to start a brand-new life in a new place. Yet some people may hold a negative attitude due to the possibility of losing old friends. As for me, it is senseless to be so pessimistic.
For one thing, moving to a new place does not necessarily mean the loss of old friends. Thanks to the modern technologies, keeping in touch with a friend across the ocean is no longer beyond reach. With web-cam and microphone, every facial expression and tone of speech can be delivered just as a face-to-face meeting. So we can still catch up with old friends through the marvelous internet, updating latest status in Facebook or joining the chat-room in Skype. So even one moves to a new environment, s/he still gets to share laughter and tears with his/her old friends. After all, real friendship goes beyond distance.
For another thing, even old friends drift apart; it is still a good thing to move to a new place. Firstly, a new living space provides one with great opportunities to make new friends from diverse social background but sharing same interest. Secondly, a new living environment also means a new way of living. It is not hard to imagine a Chinese immigrant would find it unforgettable to taste curry or practice yoga in India. The exotic cultures and customs offer an individual a great experience that couldn’t possibly be available otherwise. Thirdly, a new working environment helps an individual to discover their inner strength and potential. Take my brother for instance. He used to work at a local factory with a modest salary and little chance of promotion. However, things began to change when he moved to U.S. An advertising company offered him a position in the arts department, which stimulates his interest in designing and gets him out of his shell. He showed a good performance at work and it wasn’t long before he got a promotion. So it seems clear to me that it was the move that changed his life path and pointed him in the right direction.
Even sometimes moving may be an unpleasant experience; it is a result of inability to adapt to new surroundings, instead of the loss of old friends. Just imagine the feelings one experiences after leaving their familiar home culture to live in another entirely different social environment. We can constantly hear immigrants complaining about cultural shock. A peculiar cuisine that’s hard to swallow can give an individual a strong sense of homesickness; or the language barrier can easily ruin a shopping trip when bargaining is no longer the way it is back home. Such frustration gives rise to a bad moving experience, not the slim chance of losing old friends.
All in all, with the help of modern technologies moving to a new place no long means to compromise old friendship.instead it is definitely rewarding for the benefits of new social network, cultural experience and working opportunities. Even sometimes it may turn out to be frustrating, failure to adjust is to blame. (518w , Bao Lei)
