18．Nowadays，WeChat （微信） is becoming more popular than any other way of communication in China.On the light train，in a coffee shop，even in the street，we always find people using WeChat around us.
According to some people，there are lots of reasons for the popularity of WeChat.First of all，it is easy to use.You can log into it with your phone number and start a conversation by tapping the speak button.In addition，WeChat is a wonderful platform for people to share a great deal of information.Meanwhile，using WeChat，you can also have group chats，pay，play online games，send lucky money or find friends nearby to talk to.
On the other hand，some people argue that although WeChat benefits us a lot，it has some drawbacks.When using WeChat，people may forget time and some may even get addicted（上癮的） to it，which will affect their study or work.At the same time，spending too much time on the screen does affect eye health，which may cause trouble.Worse still，people may give away their personal information while using it，which may lead to crime（犯罪）.
As far as I know，everyone should use WeChat within limits.I insist that we shouldn't spend too much time on it.And it's important for us to protect ourselves when we use it.
