Teenagers are learning new communication skills every day.It is important for them to have opportunities to network，or to meet and get to know new people.Online networking，which is very popular with teens today，makes short，superficial connections.But offline networking better encourages meaningful connections that will increase hope，develop skills，and open avenues to career opportunity.Teens need to practice more offline networking.It will prepare them to be confident face-to-face communicators in the real world.
    A survey of almost 7，000 teens was conducted in 2019 by three Swiss researchers，and they found that teens were spending too much time on social networking sites.So，they suggested that teens should spend more time with others in real life.It not only contributes to a stronger sense of identity and a happier mood，but also gives us the chance to share happiness with other people.In other words，offline networking seems to actually benefit a teen's emotional health.
    Face-to-face communication also gives teens an opportunity to learn to read people.Everyone communicates in person differently than communicating over the phone，through texting，or in online posts.Being face-to-face requires a person to think and respond more quickly—without the safety net of a delete key.
    And much of our communication is nonverbal anyway.Facial expressions，gestures，and vocal tones are just a few examples.Teens need to have face-to-face interactions so they can learn to read these nonverbal cues（ 暗示），which are sometimes even more important than the words a person is saying.A time will come when the teen will need to enter the job market，and this usually means a face-to-face interaction，including interacting naturally with customers，hearing and understanding their words as well as their nonverbal cues in many different kinds of businesses.
    Offline networking is important because it can improve a teenager's well-being and help prepare him for the future.That's why every teen should spend time practicing real-world interactions.
