Today we can communicate with others through lots of ways more technically,such as internet,telephone.So someone seems to overlook chatting face to face. so if you have to choose,which one is perfect for you? In my view,talking face to face is the best way,coz we can not only get what they say,but also we will grab their attitude.Futhermore this method can depict more honesty and intimacy.So what do you think about it?

yes,talk face to face can see expressions and emotions of other people.it is said your words prove nothing,but your eyes betrayed you.that's the reason why communication is complicate,it's not only about literal words,but a lot of gestures and the way you talk.it's an art.sometimes i am afraid to talk to people face in face,especially strangers,one reason is that i can easily be misunderstood,i talked too quick,words poured out even before i can control.but when talking online,i can think carefully before i say,i don't need to worry about those kind of things.

But i am afraid to chat on the internet coz my typing speed is too slow ,sometimes i can't catch up with others. That is truly a big problem for me.May be i will practice it this summer.

To talking with any stranger I should say that we try to chat face to face.As in case of stranger you never know if he or she is acting or they are in real.Face to face talking is more satisfying and you can see other's gestures and attitude while in phone or internet its totally opposite.You cannot see other person so the chances of misunderstanding are more.I still remember when we(me and my husband)used to talk for hours on internet or phone we always hang up fighting and after hours of talking still we used to say Its better not to talk, it was because we couldn't see each other we cannot see their feelings whereas Now I am with him,we have much less fights and arguments.So I would prefer avoid talking on phone or internet specially with these relations cause if once any misunderstanding creates it is hard to get rid of it.I would definitely go for face to face meeting or talking.

I think I agree with you , chatting face to face is the best way to commuicate and we not only can heard his words,but also can see his simle or angry . especially for those who talk with husband /wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/mother/father/son/daughter, it is more important to talk face to face, as we not only want to talk with them ,but also want to see their face and then we miss them very much. I agree with you very much.

Yes sometimes when we want to chat with somebody what we need most is to look at their faces.

for me i prefer face to face, because you can see him what his face, and what he is.in telephone just only hear the voice but you can see the person you are talking with.So its better to talk face to face to know each other well, or if you want the person you are talking and its easy to quite.

Well I don't like chatting through the phone, since you only waste money for bills. Chatting through the internet helps when you want to talk with family and friends who live all over the world and you can't chat with them any other way. I prefer chatting face to face since you understand the other in a better way. That is only my opinion though, Cheers ! :)
