Recently,short messages become more and more popular with both the young and the old.People accept the convenient way of communication and some even cannot live without them.

As to the reasons why so many people are in favour of the short messages,in my opinion,therere three points.First, it can save time if you want to inform your friends of something in one or two words by sending a short message.By comparison with letters or email,short messages are really more quick for others to receive you as the mobile phones are always with them.Second,short messages cost less than making a phone call.Third,people who are not very familiar with each other can chat by short messages more easily,through which more and more people can know of others and become friends.

However,nothing that is perfect exists in the world.Short messages also have some disadvantages with them.Some people cheat or fool others by telling them that they have won some prizes through short messages.Also,taking advantage of peoples ignorance,some websites charge a good deal of expenses from short messages.

Above all,short message is product of the hitech nowadays.It will serve us very well if we make proper and full use of it.

最近，短信在年轻人和老年人之间越来越流行了。人们接受便捷的沟通方式甚至一些人生活中不能没有手机。

至于为什么如此多的人喜欢发短信的原因，在我看来，有三点。第一，如果你想通知你的朋友一些事情通过发送短消息可以节省时间。通过信件或电子邮件相比，短消息是真的越快为他人所接受因为人们总是带着手机。第二，短信的成本比打电话低。第三，人不是彼此非常熟悉时可以更容易通过短信来聊天，这样越来越多的人可以了解别人并结交更多的朋友。

然而，没有什么是完美的存在。短信也有一些缺点。有些人欺骗或愚弄别人并发信息告诉他们已经中奖了。同时，利用人们的无知，一些网站收取大量费用通过短消息。

总之，短消息是当今的高科技产品。它将很好为我们服务，如果我们适当和充分利用它。
