Although I cannot provide you with a whole essay, I can give you topics and ideas to develop into one, as well as tips on how to do it. The following are the topics:
Let's agree with the affirmation that having one or two really close friends is better than having many casual acquaintances.
Acquaintances are fun to have, but they are only superficial. They are the type of friends who will always be willing to go out for a drink and have a good time, but that is all there is to it.
A good, close friend, on the other hand, is one who will be there for better or for worse.
Good friends tell you their real opinion about something, even if it is painful, because they want what is best for you.
Good friends will drop everything and come to your aid when you are in need.
One good friend is, thus, worth dozens of acquaintances.
How to develop topics into an essay:
If you use the topics above to write an essay, for example, try to think of examples that will help your reader visualize the difference between acquaintances and close friends.
Use personal anecdotes or general examples of how acquaintances behave versus how close friends do.
Remember that an essay must have an introduction, a body, and a conclusion.
Your opinion should be clearly stated in the introduction, and then developed throughout the essay. The examples will function as evidence that prove your opinion right.
Do not add new information to the conclusion. Only restate your opinion in fewer words.
