I think there are both advantages and disadvantages of online calls. Internet calls are cheap or even free. Many social networks provide free calls for people to communicate. Online calls help us to communicate with people that are really far away from us, for example, our relatives or our Internet friends. Moreover, you can create group calls when you are in need of hosting a conference or a family meeting. However, online calls also have drawbacks. You can’t make online calls unless you have Internet connection. Also, you need a smart device to perform a call. Sometimes, you may get unwanted calls from the person you don’t know.
Tạm dịch:
Mình nghĩ là có cả ưu điểm và nhược điểm của cuộc gọi trực tuyến. Cuộc gọi trên Internet rẻ hay thậm chí là miễn phí. Có nhiều mạng xã hội cung cấp các cuộc gọi miễn phí để mọi người có thể giao tiếp. Những cuộc gọi trực tiếp giúp người ta giao tiếp với những người ở rất xa, ví dụ như họ hàng hay bạn bè qua mạng. Hơn nữa, bạn có thể tạo những cuộc gọi nhóm khi bạn cần tổ chức cuộc họp hay họp gia đình. Tuy nhiên, những cuộc gọi trực tuyến cũng có những hạn chế. Bạn không thể thực hiện cuộc gọi trực tuyến nếu không có kết nối mạng. Hơn nữa bạn cũng cần một thiết bị thông minh để gọi điện. Đôi khi bạn có thể nhận những cuộc gọi không mong muốn từ những người bạn không biết.
