the BIG DEBATE: Should you try to keep your friends for life?

'An old friend is worth two new ones.' Russian proverb

I think you should keep your friends for life. I hope I'm still friends with the people I went to primary school with when I'm fifty. We'll share a lot of memories.

I disagree. You change as you grow older and so your friends should change too. I haven't got anything in common with the people I went to primary school with!

Стоит ли пытаться сохранять друзей на всю жизнь? Что ты думаешь?

Ответ: I think it is important to try and keep your friends for life. It's nice to have people who know you well and with whom you share many memories. Even if you don't see them often, it's good to know they are there.

Я думаю, важно стараться сохранять друзей на всю жизнь. Приятно иметь людей, которые хорошо тебя знают и с которыми ты делишь много воспоминаний. Даже если ты не видишься с ними часто, хорошо знать, что они есть.
