As an old saying goes, “Friends are like wine, the older, the better.” Because of that, nowadays many people think old friends to be 1. (important) than new ones. For example, if two pieces of advice 2.(give) to solve a problem, one from a new friend and the other from an old friend, people always tend to choose the latter one, although the new friend’s advice may be better.
I, however, 3.(agree) with the old saying, believing that new friends are not 4.(necessary) worse than old friends. Why? Because the 5.(long) of time cannot tell whether your friendship is better or not.
Once you call someone friend, he must be a person 6.is reliable and whose interests are in common with 7.(you). Maybe a friend’s outside look 8.(change) all the time, but the inside characters of him and his interests won’t change at all. It is just these unchangeable characters and interests 9.make him a friend to you. 10., on this point, there is no difference between old friends and new ones.
