Friends on Social Media

Two friends chat about using social media, sharing photos, and what to watch out for when making friends online.

Photos Online

你昨天在的照片太美了!

The photo you shared on WeChat yesterday is so beautiful!

Da Wei

Thanks! Lots of people liked it, and some even wrote comments.

Xiao Hong

你经常上网吗?我每天都看

jīngchángshàngwǎngmaměitiāndōukànwēi

Do you go online often? I check Weibo every day.

Da Wei

我也是,但是有时候看太久会觉得累。

shìdànshìyǒushíhoukàntàijiǔhuìjuédelèi

Me too, but sometimes I feel tired after looking at it too long.

Making Friends Online

Xiao Hong

昨天有一个人想加我,我有点儿担心。

zuótiānyǒushēngrénxiǎngjiāyǒudiǎnerdānxīn

Yesterday a stranger wanted to add me, and I was a little worried.

Da Wei

你应该注意,不认识的人别随便加。

yīnggāizhùānquánrènshiderénbiésuíbiànjiā

You should be careful about safety; don't casually add people you don't know.

Xiao Hong

对,我觉得网上的有时候不一定是真的。

duìjuédewǎngshàngdexìnyǒushíhoudìngshìzhēnde

Right, I think information online isn't always true.

Da Wei

所以我们要小心,也要自己的密码。

suǒmenyàoxiǎoxīnyàobǎode

So we have to be careful, and we also need to protect our own passwords.

Using It Sensibly

Xiao Hong

其实很方便,可以跟远方的朋友聊天。

shíwǎngluòhěnfāngbiàngēnyuǎnfāngdepéngyouliáotiān

Actually the internet is very convenient; you can chat with faraway friends.

Da Wei

是的,但是也不能一直看手机,对身体不好。

shìdedànshìnéngzhíkànshǒuduìshēnhǎo

Yes, but you can't keep staring at your phone either; it's bad for your health.

Xiao Hong

我们应该多出去运动,少上网。

menyīnggāiduōchūyùndòngshǎoshàngwǎng

We should go out and exercise more, and go online less.

Da Wei

好主意!这个周末我们一起去公园跑步吧。

Good idea! Let's go running in the park together this weekend.
