　　Topic 30 My View on Social Networking Sites 我对社交网站的看法

　　Nowadays, with the rapid development of IT, networks enclose our life almost thoroughly. One can reconnect with old schoolmates, either via Renrennet, Friendster or Facebook. One can chat with friends, through Tianyanwang, Mop or Twitter.

　　So what about meeting new friends? To meet this demand, recently many Chinese social networking sites come into being. Social networking sites have began to influence our life in a good variety of ways. To begin with, social networking sites provide us with daily life topics. The most dumbfounding tidbits of gossip and entertainment news are actually figments from the virtual world. It makes a most trendy person be always in the know. Secondly, social networking sites promote ways of social dating. Those who are busy can now extend contacts outside their relatively small friend circles. What calls for special attention, however, is that social networking sites bring temptation and indulgence at the same time.

　　Obviously if we ignore the problem, chances are good that time will be idled away. Only if we have a good control of ourselves, can we appreciate social networking sites both physically and psychologically.
