We kids have different ways to get in touch with each other now. And for the old, they’d like to go to the market or     26      each other’s houses, but for the young, we kids needn’t follow the     27     of doing so.

The easiest way for us to get in touch and make    28     is to use the Internet services, like QQ. A lot of websites such as www.qq.com have     29    in the last few years and offered such kinds of     30     for free. So we can make friends    31     through the Internet. Maybe we do not    32    all these “friend” well. We add friends only    33    we seem cooler with more friends online.

Then how do we kids keep in touch with friends online? We make it by posting our     34      to each other. At times , “friends”     35     “be missing” for months without a message. Is this the friendship in the 21^st century?

Of course, using these Internet services is not     36    for saying “ Hi, what’s up?” Some of us have found long-lost classmates and friends     37    these websites. And at times we     38  a time to go to a movie or get together. What’s more, we kids can      39     our friends’ favourite music when we are on the Internet.

Believe it or not, these Internet services will be    40     for a while, and it is really a convenient way for us to keep in touch.
