· Why: the two texts are written to tell Ss about how Internet impacts friendships, inform them to pay attention to the ways of communication and the doubled-edged sword——Internet and encourage Ss to take online communication rationally, devoting themselves to developing healthy, rewarding and lifelong relationships.
· How: the authors develop their blog posts by following the argumentation’s structure, in which they firstly state their respective point of view, and then give some powerful arguments with detailed information which can make their opinion more persuasive, followed by the conclusion. The two posts are logical and well-organized, for which Ss can easily grasp their structure, which may help their comprehension.
