无Weibo Could Be a Powerful Tool for Communication
Recently, Weibo, or called micro-blog or the Chinese Twitter, is becoming popular among people. Many people rush to register their own Weibo account and use them to share their lives and express their opinions with no more than 140 words. Even celebrities and government officials open their official Weibo account in order to get closer to ordinary people. From my point of view, it could be a beneficial phenomenon. Weibo could be a powerful tool for people from all classes to communicate without any barrier.
Weibo helps narrow the distance between the government and people. In the past, people often thought the government was far away from them. But nowadays, many government officials use Weibo as a tool to receive people’ s views and suggestions. Thus people can freely talk about new policies of the government and put forward beneficial suggestions, sometimes even can criticize the policies they think improper. As we all know, in China the power belongs to people. Through Weibo, people can get closer to the government and perform their right of suggestion in a more convenient way. Also the government can better listen to its people. Thus, Weibo narrows the distance between them and help them communicate better.
Weibo also helps people know more about celebrities. Many of us may think celebrities are high-status and must live a rich and easy life. But when they open their Weibo account, they can also use it to express their mood and views, and communicate with their fans too. In this way, people can approach the celebrities they admire and discover their real life. This can be a good way for celebrities to make them understood by ordinary people. And also, people will know that those celebrities are not living an easy life at all. So Weibo can be a tool for them to communicate easily and create better understanding between them.
What’ s more, Weibo can help people find new friends. Sometimes if people want to make friends with same interests or goals, it’ s hard for them to find such friends from their surroundings. But Weibo can become a great platform for people to look for friends in a wider range. People just need to register and write a piece of information about themselves, then other people who are looking for those eligible would easily discover the information and come to communicate. Here Weibo plays a role of Friends Platform.
From these aspects, we can see that Weibo could be a really powerful tool for people to communicate. No matter who want to have a better communication, Weibo could provide an excellent platform for him.
