参考范文：The Impact of Social Networking Websites on Reading

As we can see from the picture, a pair of lovers is discussing about reading. To our amusement, the boy says his favorite book is Facebook. While the picture is seemingly humorous and ridiculous, it is thought-provoking on second thought, intending to inform us that the social networks have exerted an important impact on our daily reading.

Opinions vary when it comes to the impact of social networking websites on reading. Some people insist that social networking websites provide large collections of information at great speed and stimulate our reading interest. On the other hand, some people claim that it is a common phenomenon that youngsters spend too much time reading on social networking websites, and it is these websites that make teenagers have less opportunities or time to read .

There is a saying goes like this, "Every coin has two sides". So there is no surprise that there are different opinions on the impact of social networking websites on reading. However, I, as a college student, am convinced that it is necessary for us to read on social networking websites, but it is also of greater necessity for us to read , because social networking websites are just tools and a heavy dependence on them will bring more harm than'good.
