背景介绍：

A study says that offline socializing brings more happiness than online. Offline socializing means meeting real people, spending time with family and friends, and talking to them in person instead of texting, emailing them, or checking their status updates on social networks.

Social networking is one of the greatest inventions of our time. It gives people access to the latest information, to find a way to entertain themselves, and to talk to each other without worrying about distance. The bad thing about social networking is that many young people are so addicted to it that they will become restless if you ask them to go offline for a while.

Now, it’s time to take a break from social networking and go offline socializing. You will see more quality time with loved ones and maybe a healthier lifestyle as well.

话题：

1) What are the advantages and disadvantages of online socializing and offline socializing, respectively?

2) Between online socializing and offline socializing, which one do you prefer? Why?

范例1：

In the past, I had often stayed online, waiting for my friends to chat with me. Gradually, even if I was online and so were some of my friends, we communicated less and less, though.

But now, I have decided to keep in touch with them by phone or visit, only to find that none of them can spare time for mutual communication, all busy at work and home affairs.

Regardless of how the friendship develops, I will not feel alone for I understand that frequent contact may not always keep friendship long and solid. On the contrary, keeping the friends at the bottom of heart can make what we call bosom friends.

范例2：

With the rapid development of science and technology, online socializing becomes prevalent all over the world while offline communication is gradually ignored. However, they have both pros and cons.

We can’t deny that online socializing provides us convenient access to get information from everywhere. Thanks to the internet, we can communicate with others no matter when and where. Whereas it is the convenience of online socializing that broadens the gap between people from each other. As to this problem, offline socializing seems better for people can express their emotion intuitionally. In addition, it looks more friendly and relaxed to communicate face to face.

Briefly, when catching up with the fast pace of the developing society, we also should not forget the traditional offline socializing. Try to show a real smile instead of an emotion online, there may be surprise waiting for you.
