Do you use Facebook, MySpace or Twitter? If so, then you are part of a social network. Social networking sites allow us to see our social connections.
When you create a profile (a description of somebody that gives useful information) on a social networking site, you open up a number of possible social connections. You can look up old friends, make new friends, and share music, photos and videos with them. You can also join groups according to your interests or hobbies, favourite TV shows or music.
Setting up a social networking account (账号) is simple. You just create and post a personal profile. For this you need a login name, password, and an e-mail account. Then you add some personal information such as name, age, sex, location, interests, etc. You can also add a photo of yourself. You can control who sees your profile. The next step is to look for new ones, and add them to your network. Then you can search your friends' connections for anyone else you'd like to add to your network.
Different social networking sites allow people to communicate in different ways. There are sites that allow you to enlarge your personal community such as Facebook. Then there are ones that include media (媒体) sharing, such as YouTube, where members upload and look at other people's pictures and videos. There are also ones that specialize in sharing music, such as Last FM, and finally, ones that allow bloggers to form online communities, such as Live Journal.
The latest trend (趋势) in social networking is to create your own independent social network. Companies do this to make their products sell well and people do it to create their own communities.
We have studied in high school for several months. When I first (go) into the school and saw my new classroom and teachers, I thought I would have a new start. The school life is very busy and (excite). There are many activities in our school. We all take part in them (active). I have made many new friends and we often help and learn from each other in study. Our (teacher) have taught us a lot. They not only teach us how to study but also teach us how to be useful person in society. They also tell us is worth doing.
People often say, "There is no rule of learning." Now I feel it is true. The study now is far (different) than before. I often find there is something difficult (understand) at once. At this time, I must spend a lot of time (study) by myself, or I won't make progress.
Our school is clean and beautiful. There are many trees and flowers around . In order to make our school more and more beautiful, we should try our best.
