Facebook dominates many people’s life, especially students’. It can have negative effects on their study and physical development. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Write an essay (about 350 words) to express your opinion.
It is true that the digital revolution has had profound effects on our lives, and one of the latest advances in technology was the development of Facebook, a social network system which enables users to live in a virtual community. Therefore, a number of people say that it is detrimental to our lives, especially students’ as it affects their studies and physical development. To my view, while I believe that Facebook can have some negative impacts, I am in favour of its benefits.
On the one hand, it is true that Facebook brings about many bad consequence in the studies and daily lives of youngster. Firstly, owing to the attraction of several activities that Facebook offers, students often indulge themselves spending an inordinate amount of time on browsing it. Therefore, they are distracted from learning and inevitably fall behind with their studies. Secondly, it is common that youngster nowadays spend most of their time on Facebook to the exclusion of other activities, such as physical exercises and socializing. Consequently, these are more likely to prone to health problems including eystrain or obesity, and even more detrimental is the neglect of social skills required. In fact, these consequences can be put down to the intensive using of social networks, Facebook as an example.
On the other hand, I would argue that Facebook has numerous advantages, which outweigh its drawbacks. The first benefit is that it offers users a huge source of information. Particularly, for students, there are a large number of learning materials which is usually organized as studying pages or chatrooms. These types of format provide learners with free educational documents, and they can easily access to that just by a click or a keyword. Moreover, they can also join many chatroom to discuss with other students from all over the world, which will tremendously help them to understand the matters thoroughly in different approachs. Another benefit is that Facebook users can join in virtual groups about health or sports, in which members who have experience in a field share tips and give advice to other amateurs. Thereby, they can be inspired and motivated to take up a sport by their fellows.
In conclusion, despite the fact that Facebook somewhat has negative influence on students when it is used wrongly, I do believe that youngster can take its advantages tremendously if they are wise users.

Today, facebook dominates the free time for too many people, especially students. Personally, I totally agree with this statement for the following reasons.
Firstly, Facebook does badly affect on study. Students are lấy using Facebook on free time. They are using to entertain and relax. Not only the elderly but also young people use Facebook too much. They use it to give comments , express themselves, post images... Because of the time spent using Facebook too much, the students rarely do their homework. They neglect their study and only care about their phone. They are also a few cases of Facebook addition. Therefore, students are not longer interested in the homework that causes bad mark.
Secondly, it can have cause impacts physical development. If you use Facebook too much, you will have poor eyesight. Because they are always backbent and eye fixed to their phones or computers to see Facebook. Once you are in it it's very hard to let go. You will spend all day on your phone and rarely outdoor activities, go camping or talk to friends. Now go out to cafe to let friends talk to each other, but they each make one phone call, so what's the point of going to cafe? It also makes you less active and do exercises. You will feel weak, inactive, over weight.
In conclusion, I totally agree with statement for the following reasons.
