Recently, there is a widespread concern over whether students should make friends online. But it is well known that the opinion concerning this hot topic varies from person to person.
Some people are in support of making friends online. In their opinion, the Internet helps make many friends, enabling students to freely express their feelings and opinions, and promote their foreign language studies. Others, however, differ on this matter. They hold the view that making friends online is a waste of time, which should be spent more meaningfully on study. Besides, some students may get cheated online.
As far as I am concerned, I’m favor of the latter. Sudents should place their study, health and safety before other things. As for friendship, we can readily find it in our classmates and other people around us.
