ResponderEliminarConstantly, we are sharing stories, pictures, opinions...with other people online. Nonetheless, we are not concious that sometimes the online life reflects an image of us that is not. Normally it is easier to show our emotions that in the real life. But face-to-face friendships involve real emotions and we can get to know the person with its defects and virtues.
ResponderEliminarIn my opinion the online life is not bad, but face-to-face relationships are the best way to show what you are really like.

Nowadays , there are more and more people that try to meet people , start a relationship , search for a boyfriend / girlfriend... through internet . And not only that , there are even people who try to look for sexual encounters online. What do you think about that ? . I think that it has positve and negative sides .
ResponderEliminarOn the one hand , it is easier for you to look for a boyfriend as it allows you to hide your real feelings , your personality and your physical appearance to get to like this person in an easier way.
On the other hand knowing someone face to face allows you to show yourself just like you are in reality and have a conversation more confortably .
In mi opinion , the people who prefer meeting people online is because they don´t feel comfortable with themselves . For me the best way is to be face to face .

ResponderEliminarChatrooms are becoming immensely popular all over the world but, are they good or bad?
ResponderEliminarOn the one hand, using dating apps is a good way to meet people and start a relationship. Besides, if you are shy, you can start a conversation isier.
On the other hand, meeting people online can be dangerous because some people create fake and they trick you, so we have to have caution. Moreover, a real relationship is the best way to meet a person because you can see how is this person like.
in my opinion, face-to-face friendships involve real emotions and is better than online because you can do more things together!
We live in a society in which there are more and more difficulties when it comes to meeting new people and making friends. As people become more mature, they find it more difficult to meet new friends.
ResponderEliminarThe closed circles of friendships and family in which we all move, makes the path a little difficult for people, who due to different circumstances, are alone. Now there are new ways of communication that can provide an outlet for these people.
In my opinion they are usually dangerous because you do not know who is behind the screen.
Nowadays, internet is part of our day a day. This includes social networks and dating apps, and we are continually sharing our best pictures or our information and it can be dangerous for us.
ResponderEliminarEvery time there are more dating apps and more people who use them. This have advantages and desadvantages.
For example, there are a lot of people that they are very shy and they can meet people easier than if they were face to face with the other people.
There are also disadvantages, for example, we could be meeting a person and it result that it is an invented person and it is not real. This happens because nobody knows what are really behind the screen.
In my opinion a relation face to face is better than a virtual relation because you can meet better to the other person but if you are shy, you can try to meet a person in a dating app.
Nowadays there are a lot of people using the dating apps to start a relationship. In my opinion, there are advantages and disadvantages of having a virtual relationship.
ResponderEliminarOne of the advantages of a virtual relationship is that is a good choise for shy people because they can express themselves better than in a face to face relationship. Moreover, people can hide their real identity and be less inhibited when talking to the other person.
One of the disadvantages of a virtual relationship is that giving personal information like your real name or where you live can be dangerous because you never know what kind of a person is the one you are talking to online. Furthermore, people can lie about their real identity and nowadays there are a lot of virtual abuses. So, we should be very careful!
I prefer face to face relationships because they involve real emotions, I can see what the other person is like or if we understand each other, if we make a good couple, etc.

ResponderEliminarWe are always meeting people, either by the mean of new technologies we can meet people chatting online or using datings apps and we can have a virtual boyfriend or a virtual girlfriend.
ResponderEliminarHowever, are the chats and the datings apps good or bad? Sometimes in these apps or chats there are people with a fake profile and they can cheat on you, but there are also people that really want to find a girlfriend or a boyfriend face-to-face.
In my opinion they can be good for the people who want to find a partner, but you must use it with a lot of care.
I think that the real relationships are better than the virtual relationships because you know who you partner is really like and you can see how this the person who do you like benhaves you go out with him/her, however it have a incovenient if you are shy and you prefer the virtual relationships because you don't want to talk with your partner face-to-face
We live in a society in which the movement and the internet are fundamental. We use many social networks, and in them we make friends and there are people who can find even love, in my opinion I think it is better to relate to someone in your environment although sometimes it is wrong to talk to people from other places and know their customs and its culture, but I think that sometimes it can be dangerous because you do not know that person and you do not know what you can do with what you tell him.

ResponderEliminarI think virtual relationships can be extremely dangerous.
EliminarWhen we use social networks our identity can be false.
I think that personal relationships can be truer and safer.
When I meet a person is to interact in the street, school, parks, or parties, it is a sign of social life.
Sometimes social relationships are used because you are afraid or because you are a shy person, although it is not my case.
I think that social networks are very important, but not so much to have a personal relationship.
When we meet a person in the real life and not in social networks, we can see how he acts and really see how he thinks, because in social networks you can lie.

ResponderEliminarI believe that social networks are very important for people. It has become something fundamental, there are even people who stop doing their homework to watch the mobile for a while. There are people who know about networks and who have never seen each other, although I think that sometimes they can be good people or bad people. I think it is more important to have friends that you see in person. But sometimes virual friendship is sometimes not bad. All people must find the balance between real and virtual life because they can confuse us.
In my opinion nowadays, social networks are so important for people. It has become one of their priorities, they even stop doing their tasks to have a look at them. In some cases, people have friends who live overseas, and they have never met, although they can become really good friends. However, I think that it is better having physical friends, in other words, real friends to have a coffee face to face. But I don´t want to say that virtual friendship is bad. It is because it can help many teenagers with social problems not to feel alone and lose their shyness. All in all, everybody should find the balance between the real life and the virtual one because they can confuse us.
ResponderEliminarTheres a pretty decent difference, depending on the person. Usually, being that virtual relationships are behind a screen, both people are more comfortable with flirting, being more romantic, saying things they wouldn't normally say in person, etc. In real relationships, you have to stare the other person in the eyes when you say anything, which is more daunting. There are a few occasions where this doesn't happen, and a virtual relationship is just as “real” as a real relationship, but that is rare. The difference is that real relationships definitely show the “real” aspect of both people. Virtual relationships can be “real”, but have a higher chance of being fake.
ResponderEliminarNowadays there are a lot of people using internet and social networks are so important for people. Lately people confuse the real life with the virtual life. Internet is a good way to find a girlfriend but in my opinión that can be very dangerous. When yo talk with another person througt the internet it´s probably that his identity be false. Also when you are meeting a person in real life you can see it and you can know if it are your style or no. in conclusion people are very hooked on technologies and they do not look at reality
ResponderEliminarNowadays we use internet to chat with friends or family every day, perhaps it is good in some cases, but in other situations it is bad because you could be chatting with people that you don't know and they can be bad people.
ResponderEliminarFor example we speak with people that we don't know in social networks, video games or buying on internet.
It’s estimated that one in five of us are meeting our partners online, in my opinion it is a bad idea because you should see you partner and speak with her/him every day face to face, I think that you can know better the other person.
In other cases the person who you are talking to can be another person and have bad intentions.
In my opinion, it is bad idea to talk with people that you don't now on internet but it is a good place to download apps or music, search information and have fun playing video games.
Currently, internet is an essential part in our life and already there are applications for things that you can't imagine. One of these so rare applications they are for example meetic an application where you know for chat a person, that is a dating apps.I think that is better a relation face to face because this person can be invented and is better meet a person face to face because you can do more things together.
ResponderEliminarToday everyone can enter to the Internet, and there, you can do many things, buy things, see the social networks, play videogames,etc. But many people use them to talk with others,too. It is very easy and comfortable, you only need Internet and the profile of the other persons. Many people talk to persons that the meet in the real life, but many others, use chats to meet new people and make other Friends. In my opinión, i think that is interesting to meet new people using Internet, but I prefer the real relations.
ResponderEliminarEvery day we are online talking with our friends… Therefore, one of the problems of new technologies is to meet people online. Because that can be good or bad, it has consequences.
ResponderEliminarOn the one hand, when you meet someone online you can learn about what he is really like or not. Because it is easier to express feelings online than face to face. This person can deceive you with his feelings and emotions and not be who they say they are.
On the other hand, It’s estimated that one in five of us is meeting our partners online. This datum is a bit worrying because fewer and fewer couples know each other as they are really. And this can mean that if the relationship isn’t well known, it will last less time.
From my point of view, meeting people online can be good or not. Therefore, I think that face-to-face relationships are better because you know the person really, both to make friends and to know your partner.

ResponderEliminarin this society every time people mature more and become more closed without knowing more people only to their friends and relatives the good thing that now there are many places where you can communicate whatsApp can be that by get the number of someone and you talk to him so that you know or the instagram but this app the bad thing is that you can talk to a person who looks for other things etc ...
lomalo is that these as other app you close more because you can talk quietly but when you are face to face gives you much embarrassment
ResponderEliminarIn my opinion, we live in a society in where there are more and more difficulties when it comes to meeting new people and making friends. As people become more mature, they find it more difficult to meet new friends.
The closed circles of friendships and family in which we all move, makes the path a little difficult for people, who due to different circumstances, are alone. Now there are new ways of communication that can provide an outlet for these people.
In my opinion they are usually dangerous because you don’t know who is behind the screen.

Relating with one another is a basic thing in our lives and in the society as we are talking. You can meet people in many diferent ways. Technology has advanced a lot, even to the point of being able to meet people while you are sitting in your sofa. Today you can join a lot of online chats and download a lot of apps to talk with people that are far from you. Everyday you talk to a lot of people you don´t know, playing online games, going shopping or calling to any technical service. Meeting people online is a good way to make friends, but you must be careful, because you don´t know if the person you are talking to is the one who he says. Finally, I think that meeting people online is a very good way to talk to others, but that will never replace a real relationship, because there are many things that you can´t do online, like meeting your friends in the park, playing football or going out to eat, real relationships are much better than virtual relationships.
ResponderEliminarThere is a very big different between stay in a virtual relationship and stay in a real relationship.
ResponderEliminarIn my case I prefere be in a real relationship because in a virtual relationship you can't stay with this person. But today thanks to internet, you can chat online with a lot of people and download a lot of apps to do that. Also with videogames you can meet a lot of new people and make friends. But this can't replace a real relationship, but in a virtual relationship you can't do a lot of things that you can do in a real one.
