Facebook is the largest social networking site (社交网站) in the word.

We asked two British teenagers, Patrick and his sister Antonia, questions about this site.

Why did you join Facebook?

Patrick: Many of my friends were on it and he said it was good!

How much time do you usually spend on the site?

Patrick: About an hour a day.

Antonia: When I'm at home, around four hours a week, but when I'm away, not more than 30 minutes a week.

What do you use Facebook to do?

Patrick: To communicate and make plans with friends.

Antonia: I use it to keep in touch with people in other countries, and see what my friends are doing from photos taken by them.

Are you careful about what you post?

Patrick: Yes, because anything you post on the Internet is there forever — it can always be found! And I don't post anything that might offend (冒犯) others.

Antonia: I am careful now, because I know that job hunters can see what you do in your free time on Facebook and if you are fit for the job. It may have an effect on your future career!

Some people say Facebook is changing the way people communicate. Do you agree?

Patrick: Not really. If you have to speak to someone instantly, you'll phone them. But it's true that Facebook has made it easier for people to communicate.

Antonia: Yes, I do — if you overuse it, it can make you almost unsociable (不爱交际的).
