Option 1: Do you do Cyworld? Tell me how you do. Explain what you you like about Cyworld (strengths) and what you do not like about it (Weaknesses)

Yes, I do. However, I do not do it often. Whenever my friends force me to do it, I check my Cyworld homepage.

      Cyworld is famous for its functions like finding friends and sending messages to friend in free. You can find anybody with a little bit of information such as birth day, gender, age, and name. I once read an article about this function that because of it, it became easy for many people to find their first love or reunite with old friends. There is also visitor’s book so if I want to leave message or have conversation with friends, I can use it as a tool without spending any money. In addition, it makes sharing a file convenient. All I have to do is just upload a file and let others download it. I can easily surf around friend’s homepage.

      However, there are a few drawbacks too. Because of its advantages, it makes users distracted from their work. For instance, I turned my computer on to do homework, but when I turned on the computer I just wanted to drop by my homepage and see who have visited and left messages. I ended up spending more than an hour on checking my homepage and replying to messages. Moreover, when I upload files, it takes a lot of time. It consumes lots of time in decorating a photo which I want to post in my Cyworld and just in unloading. Furthermore, there is the number which stands for the number of visitors on the left corner, and this sometimes bother users. Because to some people this means the number of their friends, so if the number is low the user become depressed and feels like he has no friend. Not only that but also it suggest users to download a few system to listen music though Cyworld homepage.
