I use Facebook to keep in contact with my friends from all around the world. It makes keeping up with people so easy. In that sense, it has also allowed me to maintain friendships with many people in Germany, long after I left the country. That in turn enabled further meetings both here in England and back in Germany. Of course, it’s a great tool for picking up the casual use of language too.
But I have to admit Facebook is the ultimate student procrastination tool… And on that note, I shall get back to my revision!
