Whenever people make friends, they will come across the problem of whether they should make friends
selectively or extensively, and it is natural for different opinions to arise.
Some people think we should make friends selectively. They say that not all people are suitable for
us and easy to get along with. Furthermore, some people want to take advantage of us by becoming our
good friends, which we should be cautious of. Therefore, we should be careful to choose honest and
trustworthy friends.
But some people think otherwise. They argue that in an age when science and technology develop at a
fantastic speed, we should not only make friends in our own community but also from all lines of
work, who will help us in various ways later. Only when we make friends extensively can we keep up
with the pace of social development.
In my opinion, we should combine selective friend-making with extensive friend-making. First, we sh-
ould make a careful selection of the friends who are honest in nature an similar in internet. Second
, once the selection is made, we should make as many good friends as we can. Only in this way can we
benefit the most from making friends.
