Which Comes First, Making Friends Online or Searching For Information?

Frankly speaking, I have been learning English for a long time, since I was a pupil. But I don't think I can talk or write in English freely enough; in other words, my English level is still too low.

I have found the resons. And I think I can solve my problems by myself through the Internet and books. All I need to have now is more patience and stronger will.

I have been searching for my best way to learn English as soon as I was a freshman, choosing English as my major subject at the college in 2008.

Now I am a sophomore, of course, and I will be a junior student in the coming September. Having 2-year experience learning English as my "job", I realized that I have lots of challanges and puzzles, which must be overcome and solved by myself. And the Internet did help me a lot.

Though I am in a small city, or say, an undeveloped city in an undeveloped provience, and the chance for communication is slim, thanks to the Internet, I can make friends online and break the limitation in areas. But it is not easy to find a helpful friend and keep in touch with him or her very well. 'Cause we do can not know each other and have trust in each other by only meeting on the virtual Internet.

So I think information comes first. With the latest information and having the most useful materials, including ebooks and videos, we can have a better knowledge and have the chance to survive in the outside world.
