Do you agree or disagree with the following statement The ability to maintain friendships with a small number of people over a long period of time is more important for happiness than the ability to make many new friends easily

Friends play a prominent role in our life, so it is pivotal for everyone to have appropriate friends. Apart from that, keep continuing the relationship with old friends is another issue. As far as I am concerned, preserving friendships with our friends is a precious ability to be happy although they would be few. I feel this way for two main reasons, which I will explore in the following essay.
To begin with, we could set up a deeper and closer connection with an old friend than with fresh friends. The more a relationship takes time, the more we can know our friends. As a result, you would realize different aspects of the personality of friends, which means you can trust them better. Furthermore, when we build a good perception of our friends, we can predict their reactions certainly. In this regard, we would have a better sense and happier times. For instance, ten years ago I get admission from the university that my old friend, Sam, was there. Even though I found many new friends, my most valuable incidents happened with Sam. Since we know each other completely, we knew what to do to make happy each other. On the contrary, it was hard for me to hang out with fresh friends because I did not know them and consequently could not trust them.
Secondly, friends who know each other for a long time care about themselves better. Socialists liken the relationship to investment so that everything we do with our friends would turn back to us. Since people spend their best time with their friends, they expect their friends to give hand them when they get stuck in trouble. In contrast, people do not matter about the friends who do not them well for a long time. My personal example is a compelling example of this. I have a long friendship with my friend, Sam. Thanks to my job and my numerous travel, I find a new friend on every journey. I hang out with them, or I watch a TV show. However, my best and happier time is with Sam, for I think he will be with me for a long time, and we could contribute ourselves to improve the quality of life.
In conclusion, in my opinion, the capability of retaining a long relationship with an old friend is more precious and brings about more happiness for us than the ability to make a new friend. This is because a long relationship causes deeper and valuable connections, and aged friends with a long history in friendship care about each other better and more.

Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:

para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.

So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:

reasons == advantages or

reasons == disadvantages

for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.

or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
