Microblogs: a two-sided blade(双刃剑)
Micro-blogging has been growing quickly over the past year. As a result, many other forms of social networking are no longer popular, even if they just came into being several years ago. However, micro-blogging is a two-side blade. It helps, but it also hurts.
Micro-blogging is famous for spreading messages almost immediately. It also helps the public manage some agencies and organizations. For example, in March 2011, some micro-bloggers persuaded the Nanjing government to stop cutting 600 old trees in the downtown area; after a serious earthquake and tsunami(海啸) hit Japan, micro-bloggers called for giving a helping hand to the Japanese victims. In July, micro-bloggers made clear the “Guo Meimei” scandal（丑闻）, and brought the Red Cross Society of China under investigation.
Like everything in life, micro-blogging also has an opposite side.
Guo Meimei, who was involved in the scandal of the Red Cross Society, suffered from all kinds of online attacks, and said she was being followed up on and even threatened. Another problem is the spreading rumors（谣言）, such as the rumor that Shanxi was going to be struck by a big earthquake and “Jin Yong’s death”—Jin Yong is a Chinese novelist famous for his wuxia novels.
In the online world, large amounts of information is easily spread to a large network, but sometimes there is no official source. So it’s highly important for everyone to have the ability to tell truth from rumor. It is also suggested that Internet companies should stop the accounts of users who spread rumors.

   How can people deal with the online world?

   Take a class at Dulangkou School, and you’ll see lots of things different from other schools. You can see the desks are not in rows and students sit in groups. They put their desks together so they’re facing each other. How can they see the blackboard? There are three blackboards on the three walls of the classroom!

   The school calls the new way of learning “Tuantuanzuo”, meaning sitting in groups. Wei Liying, a Junior 3 teacher, said it was to give students more chance to communicate.

   Each group has five or six students, according to Wei, and they play different roles (角色). There is a team leader who takes care of the whole group. There is a “study leader” who makes sure that everyone finishes their homework. And there is a discipline (纪律) leader who makes sure that nobody chats in class.

   Wang Lin is a team leader. The 15-year-old said that having to deal with so many things was tiring.

   “I just looked after my own business before,” said Wang. “But now I have to think about my five group members.”

   But Wang has got used to it and can see the benefits (好处) now.

   “I used to speak too little. But being a team leader means you have to talk a lot. You could even call me an excellent speaker today.”

    Zhang Qi, 16, was weak in English. She used to get about 70 in English tests. But in a recent test, Zhang got a grade of more than 80.

   “I rarely（很少）asked others when I had problems with my English. But now I can ask the team leader or study leader. They are really helpful.”
