Social networks have become a part of our life and fewer
people
 meet on the street, or in public places now than in the past, and more often, they do it by using the
Internet
 . There are both advantages and disadvantages

at any

 . There are no restrictions on the number of acquaintances on the
Internet
 . It is possible to conduct relationships and correspondence with several
people
 at the same
time
 . The
Internet
 opens the boundaries and a
person
 can find
people
 not only for love relationships but
also
 for friendship.
For example
 , I was able to get acquainted with an interesting
person
 , who
subsequently
 became my good friend.
Besides
 , it is a convenient way to meet and communicate with busy
people
 , who do not have
time
 for personal meetings.
However
 , dating on the
internet
 has its negative sides. First ,
people
 may impersonate, or pretend to be
someone
 they are not actually.
While
 a
person
 is chatting on the
Internet
 , he or she does not know what the interlocutor really looks like. There are
people
 who deliberately hide their appearance and deceive.
Furthermore
 , the
Internet
 is full of scammers who have bad intentions and want to get rich at
someone
 else's expense. A good illustration would be the story of my female classmate, who met a
person
 on a dating site. Afterwards, he turned out to be a fraud who offered her to go to a questionable site using a link that he sent her. Fortunately, she did not do
this
 and everything worked out. In conclusion, searching for a partner or a friend on the
Internet
 is gaining popularity and has both pros and cons.
Nevertheless
 , I believe that only at a personal meeting is it possible to find out what kind of
person
someone
 really is, and
therefore
 I do not consider online dating a good idea.

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.
