As you may already know, Facebook is one of the largest social networking sites in the world. It is a great “place” for people, including me, to connect with each other. We can not only chat with our friends and family but also can make new friends from all over the world. You know, next week, I’m having a video call via Facebook with my Malaysian friend, whom I stayed with during my university exchange program in Korea, and I feel really excited about seeing her again. Besides, people can go on this website to stay updated with the latest news. For example, I’m currently following many of VTV’s Facebook pages in order to know what is happening around me. Moreover, there are also many educational pages on this platform that share knowledge for free, which helps learners a lot with their self-study.

Well in my opinion, Facebook will continue to be one of the most popular social websites in many years to come, thanks to its convenience and usefulness.
