WeChatreally shortens the distance between people.No matter
where we are,we can easily get in touch with our friends. Besides.
we can find friends to whom we can tell our secrets.However,it also
has disadvantages. First of all,some information offered on WeChat is false虚假的and it may result in people being cheated. What
comes next is that some people spend too much time on WeChat,
greatly influencing theirnormal life.

Sample Writing:
The other day,I read about a company developing companion robots.These
are robots that are supposed to be friends for people who live alone.Some of
these companion robots are actually like small pets that can talk to and interact
with.But unlike real pets,they do not have to feed them or take them for a walk. However,this company is also developing a companion robot that is exactly
like a human being.It can walk and talk just like a person does.This all got me to think.
On the one hand,some people could say that a companion robot like this is
a good for us.For example,if someone old lives alone and seldom goes out,a companion robot could provide him or her a lot of comfort and enrich his or her life.Further,the robot could help monitor the health condition of that person.
For example,if the person falls down and gets injured at home,the robot can
call the doctor immediately to come and help.
On the other hand,some people also use this technology to
avoid social contact.For example,there was a young man who
recently got“married”to an anime(动漫)character.Wh at if it
became common for people to get married to robots rather than
human beings in the future The gap between people could further
widen due to the development of realistic robots.
Personally,I do not see companion robots as an answer to
people's problems.We should be providing each other with true companions and true friendship rather than cold machines.
