This morning, I looked a topicâ€texting or talking†on social media. I prefer text, I also don’t like people send any phonetic message to me on WeChat. Firstly, compare with phonetic message, I think text can let me to get information quickly. Secondly, when I am in public place, such as on a subway or in an office, if I don’t wear a headphone, it’s inconvenient to listen a phonetic message. And I think, text message is also privacy. Finally, I think listening a phonetic message,It’s easy to miss some important information. However, text message also have some weakness.for example, we always speak with melody and intonation, but text is not emotional. I always read the text message with my own emotion,so sometime we will mistake about others.
