Some people say yes.The internet helps make many friends.Chatting on line，students can more freely express their feelings and opinions，and even get help with their foreign language studies .
Others，however，think students should not.They say making friends on line is a waste of time，which should be spent more meaningfully on study.Besides，some students get cheated on line .
It is my opinion that students should place their study，health and safety before other things.As for friendship，we can readily find it in our classmates and other people around us .
