User Samples & Evaluation Results
User Sample
I definitely agree with Kelly's perspective that spending an enjoyable time staying with our friends can reinforce our friendship. The primary reason for my stance is that accompanying our friends provides us an opportunity to exchange our thoughts, thus having a deeper understanding of each other. Take my experience as an example, my friend and I always set aside time to hang out together, be it going to watch a theater or buying some household necessities. When we are watching the movie we are both interested in, we are invariably eager to discuss the intricacies of storytelling, the advanced cinematography and the unexpected development of characters. Through passionate interaction and communication, we increasingly know each other, from her genuine love and interests to what she dislikes and resents. Each time we get together we feel we are connected more closely and the bond between us is strengthened significantly.
