Parents and teachers are always worried about what kind of friends their children and students are making. When we are little we learn never to take candy from strangers, and now that we are in a technological world, we are told to distrust people we meet online. After barrels of warnings thrown at you, when someone talk to you online your first thought is what does this person want from me. I think that's the saddest thing. Since when do we distrust people so much? Sure there are scammer and other "bad people" out there, but not everyone's bad. Having online friends could open your eyes to new worlds and discuss on topics freely, talking to people from all over the world, learning new things and exchange ideas. Of course, it's not good to spend too much time online and ignore everything else, reality is as important as cyberspace, but it's still good to have some online friends who you can tell things to without them knowing who you are, and they can help you out with your problems, it avoids embarrassment and would make you feel better.

　　these days many students like to make friends on line.Most of them think it＇s interesting to know a stranger through the Internet.As a matter of fact, only a few of them have succeeded in getting a real good friend in this way. Most of them have been cheated. Some of them have committed crimes with
the friends on line. So we should be careful of making friends on line. We＇d better pay more attention to our study.

最近， 网上交友越来越受青睐，人们关于此点的看法也众说纷纭。
一些人支持， 首先，用这种方式，他们可以交更多朋友。 其次，在网上，他们可以自由的表达自己的想法和感受。最后，这对他们学习外语还有所帮助。
其他人发对，在他们看来，这纯粹是浪费时间。除此之外，还可能影响学习。最后一点，我们还可能上当受骗。

在我看来，我支持第一个观点。因为网上交友可以舒缓压力，其次，只要我们谨慎小心，那就会相当安全。
