Now the Internet has become a part of our life. More and more people like surfing the internet and chatting with people they don't know.

So, how about making friends online? Some people say it's unwise, because you don't know the common people, and people on the Internet may cheat you! But some people say it's ok to make online friends, because you can broaden your horizons through these people!

In my opinion, it is ok to make friends online, but we should not surpass one friend. The Internet presents us with an unreal world. In this world, you can talk about your pain to your friends online, and you don't have to worry about being laughed at. You can share your opinion of others with your friends online, and they will certainly keep a secret, because they really don't know who you are.

But there are still many people who want to cheat their friends online. Because this is an unreal world, they brag to gain the trust of their friends and try to get money, jewelry and even their feelings from them. We can see many such things from newspapers and TV programs. So this is the bad side of making friends online.

As a member of modern society, we should use the Internet in a correct way. Chatting with friends online is very relaxing. It may be a kind of pride to have some good friends online. On the contrary, we should be careful and try not to be cheated.
