Some people are in favor of it. First of all. They can make more friends in this way. Secondly, they can freely express their feelings and ideas online. Third, learning a foreign language is useful.

However, others hold the opposite opinion. They think it is a waste of time. Besides, it may have a negative impact on learning. Last but not least, we may be cheated.

From my point of view, I support the former view that making friends online can release pressure and increase communication. As long as we are careful, it is safe.
