If
you go to New York, you will see road signs with the distances
in miles not kilometres, weights in pounds not kilos, and volumes
in gallons not litres. This is known as the imperial system, and it is
used as a system of measurement in the USA. In the USA, it is called
the United States Customary System.
These days, most countries, including the UK since 2000, use the
metric system. It was first proposed by the French astronomer and
mathematician Gabriel Mouton in 1670. It is an international
decimalised system of

I personally feel that school ages are the perfect time to make friends. Only then you can live without problems and responsibilities. You can communicate with contemporaries and get pleasure from it. By the way, children can detect lie and meanness better than adults. That is why, friendship in such a young age is the most sincere.
But when you grow up, you find new interests, new priorities and old friends lose value in your eyes. Moreover,you and your friends can choose different life's roads and this fact destruct your relationships at all.
But instead of all facts, you shouldn't forget about the idiom "A friend is never known till needed." No matter how and where you met your friend: at school or university, pab or cafe, you will always detect :your" person, who will be your anchor during the whole life.
