On Online Chatting
網上聊天
With the development of IT, online chatting is becoming increasingly popular with many people.
隨著信息技術行業的發展，網上聊天日益變得流行起來。
However, people's opinions about it vary from person to person. Some think that it has more problems than benefits. First, it is a waste of time, energy and money as it doesn't produce any useful information and products. Second, it is misleadjng to its users because cyberspace is actually an imaginary space where things are unreal or fictional.
然而，每個人對此所持觀點都不同。有些人認為它所帶來的問題多于它所產生的利益。首先，網上聊天浪費時間、精力和錢財，因為它并不能創造出任何有用的信息與產品。其次，它誤導了用戶，因為網絡空間其實是一個想象的空間，在那兒事物都是不真實的或虛構的。
But the advocates of online chatting support it because it is another way of recreation which is both exciting and relaxing. Besides, it helps them release their emotions and worries freely and safely. To them, it is very useful and wonderful.
但網上聊天的擁護者們支持它是因為這是一種既剌激又放松的娛樂方式。此外，它有助于人們肆意地、安全地釋放他們的情感和憂慮。對他們而言，這非常有用，十分美妙。
As far as I am concerned, whether online chatting is good or bad depends on the person who does it. So long as we can keep ourselves under good control, we can use it scientifically and properly and curb its bad effects to the greatest extent.(159 words)
我認為，上網聊天的利弊取決于網絡用戶。只要我們能控制自己，就能科學、合理地使用網絡，最大限度地遏制其消極影響。
