Is Facebook a good tool to make friends or not?

          It is clear that many of you made or are making thousands of friends on Facebook. Some friends are people you have met in the physical world, or people you only interact with online. Anyway, do you think what is a good tool to make friends?
          To discuss it, we will have to discuss the good ways to make friends first. What are the good ways to make friends? In my opinion, introduce yourself about you to a lot of people is one of the good ways to make friends. Facebook allows us to meet with thousands of people. Also, sharing your interests, likes and ideas with other people is a good way to make friends. Facebook allows us to share our interests, feelings and likes with other people. Moreover, by staying in touch with people and talk a lot with people is also a good way to make friends. We can keep in touch with people from all over the world and talk with them a lot on Facebook. By seeing these ways, Facebook is a good tool to make friends.
          However, do you think we need to spend a lot of time in person to be good friends with each other? If you think we need, Facebook doesn't allow you to meet with your friends in person if they are living away from you and face-to-face contact is very important for making friends.
          I will discuss about it for my evaluative essay. These are some of my ideas. If you guys have any other ideas, welcome your ideas. Thanks.

What is my first experience of facebook?

          When I was in Grade 9, one of my friends introduced a new social network, Facebook, to me. But, I was not so interested in Facebook at that time but when I was Grade 11, my best friend went abroad. At that time, she pushed me to use facebook regularly because she said she and me can share our activities and photos via Facebook so I started using facebook regularly. But not very regular. Once a week or twice a week. Through using facebook, I enjoyed the benefits of using Facebook and I enjoyed to log on Facebook.
          When I arrived the United States, Facebook became very important for my life. I can know the activities, education, information from my family, friends, and relatives via Facebook and I can also share of mine with them. I can't remember how many times I log on Facebook everyday. When I am free, I log on it. In the United States, Facebook is part of my life. It is my entertainment when I am tired and stressful. Also, I know about Facebook here by taking this Facebook class.
          Nobody has any doubts that Facebook is huge and useful socila network. However, I can't believe it, 175 million of people long on their Facebook profile everyday. I am also including in those people. I wanna say, Good Jobbbbbbbbbb, Mark.

Social Network Movie Review

          I made a google search to make my movie review for " Social Network" and I found rogerebert.suntimes.com so I made my review from this source. This review is made by Roger Ebert.
          In this review, Mr. Roger praised the director of Social Network, David Fincher, and his writer, Aaron Sorkin, for making this kind of interesting film. He said it is impossible to make a movie about a writer, because how can you show him only writing. Also, it must be impossible to make a movie about a computer programmer, because what is programming but writing in a language few people in the audience know? Yet, the director, David Fincher, and his writer, Aaron Sorkin, are able to explain the facebook phenomenon in terms we can immediately understand, which is the reason 500 million of us have signed up.
          He also go into the specific detail about the movie and discuss about each character's activities in his review like The Winklevosses, Sean Parker and Eduardo Saverin. He talks about more in the dialogue of this film like velocity and screwball comedy.
          In the end, he said " The Social Network" is a great film because of its dazzling style, visual cleverness, or splendidly well-made. He made his conclusion with it was very,very interested.

 Here is a link for his review.

World Famous Pagoda in Japan

          Everybody seems to know that it is one of the amazing pagodas all over the world. It is located in Japan. So we can know that there are a lot of Buddhists in Japan.
          The intended audience is anyone who wants to know about the history of Buddha, but especially people who live in Japan.
          Its peaceful and glorious face is what creates the persuasive rhetoric.
