【正确答案】
Online chatting, as a new way of communication is becoming more and more popular, especially with young students. They make friends and exchange information and point of views through it. They regard it as relaxation, for they think it easier to talk with a stranger online.
Some people, however, hold quite different opinions. They think it is a waste of time, especially for students. Spending too much time on line will make them addicted to it and affect their study. Furthermore, some unhealthy information may corrupt young internet users.
In my opinion, as every coin has too sides, online chatting, too, has its advantages and disadvantages. So we should not refuse it simply because of its negative effects. What we should do is to reduce its negative effects to the minimum and make the best use of it to enrich our life.
