TPO-49 - Independent Writing Task Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?The ability to maintain friendships with a small number of people over a long period of time is more important for happiness than the ability to make many new friends

Friendship is a very important part of our lives. It often defines people with whom we are able to share our problems and be confident. Some people think that the ability to make new friends easily is more important for happiness than the ability to maintain a friendship with a small number of people over a long period of time; others disagree. In my view, ability to make new friends easily is more important for happiness for two important reasons.

The main reason is that it will be easier to you to move to another city or country and start new life. People who are able to find a new friend easily are more likely to integrate into the new society. This assimilation will provide for you more opportunities in the new place. For example, my father was born in Vladivostok, it is near Siberia. This region was undeveloped and didn't provide the good condition of life. As a result, many people wanted to left their houses. Many people stayed there because they didn't know how to make new friends outside their region. But my father could he has good communication skills. And he moved to Ukraine. Here he started up the business and family. As you can see, people who are able to find easily new friend are able to get more benefits.

Another reason is that you will meet more interesting person. Many people who travel communicate with other people, they share their experience with each other. Without this skill they won't be able to share the information. For instance, last year when I traveled to the Netherlands I met Vladslaw. He had been traveling around the world for two years. I'm very happy that I was able to become a friend with him, because he explained to me many different ways to save money during a trip. His advices were really helpful with them I'm able to save money and travel more. As you can, without this skill I wouldn't get these tips.

In sum, though some may think that the ability to maintain friendship with a small number of people over a long period of time is more important, but think that the ability to make new friends easily is more important for happiness. It not only will be easier for you to start a new life in a different place but also you will be able to find more interesting people.

---------------------
Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:

para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.

So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:

reasons == advantages or

reasons == disadvantages

for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.

or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
