Some people "collect" friends in social networks. Is it possible to have 500 friends in real life?

Hi there Sir [이름]!

You are right.

The number of friends we have is not important.
Even though, we have a lot of friends for sure there are only few who are true to you.

It is really difficult to find people who will be with us especially at difficult times.

We should keep our friends who are true to us.

Have a great day. See you in class.

I think that most people have 200 to 300 phone numbers, on average, stored on his/her cell phone.

>> correct

Some boast that they have 500 or more contact numbers.

>> correct

It is not impossible to “collect” as many as 500 or more friends thanks to social networking services these days.

>> correct

However, the more fundamental question is whether they are true friends who are concerned about you when you are in a difficult situation and willing to come over to you when you are in desperate need of them.

>> correct

The mere number of friends you have doesn’t mean anything.

>> correct

Even having just one friend who is willing to make sacrifices for you and weep together over your misfortunes is better than a hundred of friends who stand by you when they need you.

>> correct

As social networking service is prevalent, the term “friend” is often used to describe contacts rather than relationships.

>> correct

A true friend is someone who is always there during the ups and downs.

>> correct

No matter what you do, your true friend will believe and support you.
