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.
