友谊线上VS线下
请阅读下面语篇,根据其内容回答问题。
In the past, connecting (与……有联系) with friends meant spending time with them in person (亲自). But now it is different.
Know More
In the past, people connected with friends in simple ways. They often met friends face-to-face. They would go to their friends' homes to play or chat. Sometimes, they would meet at places like parks or small shops. They could talk and have a good time together.
With the development of the technology (科技), people's life has changed greatly. Today, most young people like to connect with their friends online better. They think it is a good way to connect with their friends. However, some people think connecting with friends online may make them lose their real-world friendships (友谊). Do you agree with it? Here are some ideas.
Agree
Technology hurts friendships. When we communicate with our friends in front of a screen, it's easier to misread (误解) their tones (语气) or body language. We might think our friends are smiling while they're upset.
A friend might send a text message as a joke that says, "You're the worst friend!" But our feelings might be hurt because we think he's serious.
Disagree
I'm Frank. I don't think technology hurts friendships. In fact, it can make them stronger.
For example, my best friends live in California where I used to live. The last time I met them in person was three years ago. But I talk to them online every week. It feels like they're right here with me. Without technology, we can't be such close friends.
According to experts, staying connected online is not enough to build true friendships. Spending time together face-to-face is quite important, especially when people are in trouble. During the hard times, people don't need someone who likes their pictures or posts. What they really need is someone who can offer them help.
