Facebook is a social network, where people can write comments, upload photos, and be in touch with people who are in other parts of the world, but it is also a way to waste time.
I'm not an active person on facebook. There are some people who put "I like" everywhere, and they comment everybody's status. For me, doing this is difficult because before publishing something I have to read it hundreds of times and sometimes I end deleting it. I check if I have something on facebook every day because I'm used to doing it when I turn on my computer and I usually spend too much time reading what other people write. What I think is most useful about facebook, is the fact that you can upload a lot of photos in a short time, and then all your friends can see them. I think it is good, because I always take a lot of photos, and my friends want to see them, and if I had to send them by email, I would spend hours doing it! Another thing I like about facebook is that you can talk with people who are really far from where you are. Sometimes I use facebook to talk with the americans I stayed with last summer. Furthermore, facebook is useful too to have conversations with some of your friends at the same time. Last week it was Aina's birthday, and with my friends we planned her a party using a multiple conversation and she didn't suspect anything. It would have been more difficult if we had had to talk when she wasn't around.
But now, I'm going to talk about the things I don't like about facebook. The main thing I don't like about it is that you waste a lot of time visiting it when you should be studying. Now, for example, I should be studying for my English exam (which is tomorrow), and I'm writing this and reading stupid things on facebook... The other thing I don't like about facebook is that people can gossip more than they used to do some years ago, because they can see what people say to each other, where they go, who they are going out with, etc.
To finish my post, I have to say that facebook shouldn't exist during the exam week! :)
