Friendship across Cultures Vol. 1 | Page 33

In school, students have the opportunity to meet different people and have new friends.

So, what is the importance of friendship?

And what are the advantages and the disadvantages of friendship?

Because if you have friends from another country:

- You learn about their tradition and their culture;

- You learn about their laws;

- You visit new places and learn about different monuments;

- You can learn the languages from the two countries.

So, having friends from other countries, allows us to know new cities and wonderful places through a simple video call, for example. We can also get to know their gastronomy, religion, etc., better.

Friendship Across Cultures

Friendship is a relation between two or more people. They can be from the same country or from a different country. And it’s better to have friends from another country. Why?

But friendships also have disadvantages like when you fight about who has the best tradition or the best language. Sometimes you can meet a bad friend that can be a problem in the future because this friend can lead you to bad habits like drugs, for example. So you must choose your friend carefully. There can also be communication problems, like, for example, internet problems. The distance can also be an issue, because if we want to meet in person it will be very complicated.

With this work we were able to learn many things that we did not know about Portugal and Morocco but, above all, this project was not just to learn things from another country but also to find a new friend. It will be very difficult to meet but it it is not impossible! We really enjoyed doing this work, and who knows if we cannot do it again with other people from other corners of the world.
