Nowadays, more and more people are beginning to use Wechat and some have even become addicted to沉迷于 it. However, WeChat has both advantages利 and disadvantages弊.
WeChat really 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 their normal life.
As far as I am concerned, WeChat is convenient but we should make proper use of it.
