As a student, each time I entered a new school. I would be in a different atmosphere, so I usually made new friends. From my point of view, it’s more important to get acquainted with strange people than keep in touch with old friends.

First of all, as a student, if I keep reluctant accepting new classmates as friends. It will make me feel lonely, I will find nobody to share fantastic things with nor to spend time together. Because the  atmosphere we’re living in has changed, old friends may be unable to understand our new worries. So we usually can’t get suitable suggestions if we stay unwilling to make new friends. Which is an unhealthy mode for growing up.

Moreover, as time goes by, the cost of maintaining old relationship increases. This happens when we move or have different schedules. It is less likely for old friends to adjust their schedules and waste a lot of time on the road. In contrast, we tend to chat more with newly met people. Not only because of the feeling of freshness, but also because we have similar arragements.

Last but not least, we’re always learning new things from all sources. Other’s opinion is one of sources that we can’t ignore. In order to catch up with the trend, we should absorb different points of view. Always discussing problems with our old friends means we’re listening to the old sayings time and time again. It’s necessary to make new friends and hear new voices, it will help us grow in a more comprehensive way.

All in all, I think it’s more important for us to make new friends than to keep our old friends. For new friends can bring us new thoughts and accompany us. It is also the trend that we will finally grow up and say goodbye to those old things.

The 21th century is the century of internet. The improvement of network technology has changed our lives greatly. So if we follow this logic, we would take the development of internet access as the most important thing. However, I hold the view that it’s more crucial to spend money on public transportation. My reasons are as follows.

Firstly, the internet indeed created a marvelous virtual world for us. But that’s not the one we’re living . The movie Ready Player One also discussed this question. With advanced cyber technology and VR devices, people can immerse themselves in the virtual world. Correspondingly, nobody cares about the reality, abolishment and poverty began to grow. In order to solve this problem, the male lead changed this situation by closing the server temporarily and rebuilding basic construction. And that’s exactly what I am going to illustrate. Since public transportation plays an irreplaceable role in our lives. Its’ perfection is one of the best things we can have to enhance our sense of happiness and comfort.

Moreover, as I said before, building basic constructions, such as railways and roads, is a fantastic way to reduce the unemployment rate. With low requirements and high rewards, the number of people willing to engage will be big. So to some extent, improving public transportation can be viewed as a way to solve social problems. And that’s why the basic construction is tightly bounded with policy. However, the internet development is more flexible and less useful in terms of solving social problems because of higher demands.

Last but not least. The  public transportation is more useful if we view the question in the long run. For instance, we can never transport our soldiers by the internet, but railways will do this job. We can’t know how big a city can be, so the traffic system should have high limits.

All in all, although the internet technology is improving fast. We should still pay enough attention to public transportation. As a result, we should take the extra money spent on it for granted.
