Dear Kitos,
I'm going to take the test tomorrow, thanks for your help these days and hope I can share my good grades soon.
Topic: It is often not a good thing to move to a new city or country because of the loss of old friends.
In one’s life, we may face some situations WERE WE HAVE TO move from one city to another, or even to another country. Some people think it is not a good thing to move because of the loss of old friends. However, I disagree with this idea. Following are some reasons to illustrate my standpoint.
First and foremost, with the development of technology, we can keep in touch with our friends after moving much easier than before. For example, with the help of e-mail, MSN and SKYPE, we can meet or chat with our friends as often as we DID WHEN WE liveD in the same city. Furthermore, those ways are very cheap, so we don’t need to worry about the costs OF THEM. Therefore, we won’t losE friends because of moving.
In the second place, moving to a new place, we may have more chances to meet new people and make more friends. I always remember the scene WHEN I first moveD to a small town where my grandparents liveD. I was very nervous IN the beginning, because I HAD just saID good-bye to all of my friends in the city. Fortunately, OUR NEW neighbor introduced a lot of HIS friends to me. They also invited me to join IN a lot of community activities. I really had a great time there, and I WAS so glad that I HAD moved to that small town.
Last but not least, movING to a new place may be really interesting. Every city or country has their own special culture. LearnING more about them can broaden our horizons and make our lives much more colorful. EVEN TODAY, I still like to talk to my friends about the ghost festival which is held in my grandparents’ town. Some of them even ask me to INVITE them to join the celebration.
In conclusion, with the help of new technologies, we can still keep in touch with our old friends. In addition, we can meet more new people in the new city or new country. Moreover, living in different cities or countries can broaden our horizons. As a result, I believe that movING to a new place CAN BE good for us.
