　　【题目大意】：因为我们会失去老朋友，所以搬到一个新的城市或国家不是一件好事。题目内部有明显的因果词“because”,波波建议选择选择不同意，第一步驳因，即搬家不会失去老朋友，第二步驳果，即搬家是好事。

　　【范文如下】：

　　With the progress of urbanization, an increasing number of people areleaving their hometown and moving to a new place, which has aroused deeplysocial concern. When asked about whether it is advisable to move to a new cityor country, many people, if not the most, are strong believers of the claim thatmoving to a new place leads to the loss of old friends. However, in my eyes, theabove claim doesn’t bear more analysis.

　　First of all, moving to a new place does not necessarily mean loss of oldfriends, in that the distance between people is no longer an obstacle formaintaining a friendship with the help of advanced communication devices andmeans of transportation. For one thing, such communication devices as telephonesand the internet have made it possible to keep in touch with friends living faraway from us. With the camera and microphone, our facial expressions and voicecan be immediately transmitted to others, which is just like a face-to-facecommunication. For another, by using the well-developed transportation system ,we are able to reach nearly anywhere in the world within a day. Take my ownexperience as an example. Last summer, Jack, one of my best friend, went toAmerica for his master’s degree while I stayed in China for my study. However,this distance has never alienated our relationship, in that we often chattedonline with Skype and even I took the international flight to visit him severaltimes. While staying in America, we traveled together and had lots of fun, whichwould definitely enhance our friendship.

　　Furthermore, moving to a new city or country will provide us with a goodopportunity to meet new friends and gain more opportunities to achieve success.On one hand, it is self-evident that a new environment enables us to makeacquaintance with more people from different background, thereby enlarging oursocial circle. This is especially true of moving to a foreign country. Whilestaying in a foreign country, we can not only experience the exotic culture andconventions but also establish friendship with native people there. On the otherhand, moving to a new city matters a lot to job seekers, especially those comingfrom rural areas. My brother, a bachelor of art, is a good case in point. Whilestaying in hometown, he had no choice but to work in a local factory with lowsalary and little possibility to get a promotion. However, when he moved toBeijing, the situation became totally different. He used what he learned incollege to land a good job in a large advertisement company and excelled at hisjobs. Now he has become the manager of designing department. Therefore, Ibelieve that it is the moving that has changed his path of life .

　　To sum up, we can conclude that it is a good choice to move to a new placebecause we can make more new friends and obtain more opportunities instead oflosing old friends. Therefore, a new environment is full of challenges andfun.
