is it beneficial or not beneficial chatting on web?

i think it is beneficial chatting on web. we chat and get information from each other ,collect many different idea from all over the world . you said you want to chat to improve your english. how do you think it is not beneficail to improve your english . you can chat with englishman as a englishman.but sometims it is dengerous because it is virture. you can make it if you are hard and careful.

You can treat it as an amusement.But learn to control your time,don't be indulged in it.Stop where it should stop.

Some times it become useful for us and sometime it become worse.. According to my point of view..we should chat on internet but but dont waste time..do some time pass and then stop! I agree with you that it is not beneficial for improving english language.

It may be dangerous..but i feel its not as much dangerous as meeting a stranger in person.Of course,on web,we don't know anyone but still it can be beneficial to chat with a person having other knowledge.If we share knowledge between each other then what will be better.As you said,it can improve English which actually not only improve English,but in background ,we also learn how to chat/talk with a stranger.So,Overall I feel it is beneficial,but still precautions must be taken and we should not trust anyone in the first meet.

Hello mari123 :) If you chat during your free time, then I believe that would be good because it would take away your stress as you said you like doing it. But if you are doing it even if you have other matters or work to attend to, then of course that is not good because your work would pile up and this would cause you stress and failure to accomplish the more important tasks. As for the danger in chatting, I don't think there won't be any if you are just chatting about general topics and not topics so specific in your life like your bank account numbers, birthdays, addresses. These personal information are really not supposed to be shared with people you don't know very well. I worked in a bank and I know many cases of "identity theft" that happened because people give such personal information to other people who they thought are their friends already. So, chatting is fine, just don't divulge too much personal information. Take care :)

i think u shud quit chatting onlin.its better.

Well,I think your friends has overdone,chatting isn't that bad.on the other hand ,I agree with you that spending excessive time chatting is a waste of time .I think when you have finished all the things you ought to do,you could chat on line in your spare time ,not only could you chat and improve your English,but also would you relax.anyway don't lose yourself.

frankly, i think it is beneficial to chat with others on web. but it is up to person. if you can spend your free time online for chatting with others, then i think it is a relaxed action. but if you pay more attention to chatting, then you will be in danger. one of my girl friend is addicted to chatting with other boys online, and now she can't help chatting with them everyday. she doesn't have a job, and her boyfriend work hard for their living. frankly, they are living a better life. but the girl thinks her boyfriend is deserved. and she thinks she can find a better boy than her current boy.

I don't think that it is a bad idea to chat with someone whom you don't know. It cannot be that dangerous as your friends say to you. Instead I think that it is a good idea for us to know more people from around the world and their culture. And if you like, you can also talk about your personal life and work. It is only virtual world online let alone so-called 'beneficial and not' chatting on the web.

Well well, Internet chatting is a trend in our today's life. Doubtlessly, it's some risks there for online chatting but still not that bad, if you know how to handle and aware to things. Since you are questioning here, which mean you still consciously know what are you doing, so I think it should be alright. If you want to know more, maybe I can say I have a lot of best friend from Internet. To me, sometimes I feel it's quite comfortable when chatting with him. It is mainly because we are far apart and it is the feeling of far apart make me secure. Haha. I mean in reality, sad to say that true friend is really hard to find, I am tired of back stabbed by my so-called "buddy". Anyway, anything have pro there sure be corns there. So, just do whatever you feel is correct. I mean you have to differentiate which is correct and which is not..
