In today's lesson we discuss WeChat's Moments (朋友圈). This is similar to the facebook feed where you can post status updates, photos, and comment on other people's feeds.

最近微信朋友圈怎么都没见你更新了呀？
zuìjìn wēixìn péngyou quān zěnme dōu méi jiàn nǐ gēngxīn le ya ？
Why haven't I seen you posting any updates on WeChat Moments recently?
哎，我已经不玩朋友圈很久了。那里已经不再是一个纯粹给朋友交流感情的净土了。
āi ，wǒ yǐjīng bù wán péngyou quān hěnjiǔ le 。nàlǐ yǐjīng bùzài shì yī gè chúncuì gěi péngyou jiāoliú feelings de jìngtǔ le 。
Ugh, I haven't used Moments for ages already. It's not a safe haven to simply exchange feelings with friends anymore.
怎么这么说呀？我觉得朋友圈还是很有意思的呢。
zěnme zhème shuō ya ？wǒ juéde péngyou quān háishì hěnyǒuyìsī de ne 。
Why do you say that? I think that Moments is still really cool.
我不知道你的朋友圈怎么样，反正我的朋友圈已经被无数微商刷屏了。
wǒ bù zhīdào nǐ de péngyou quān zěnmeyàng ，fǎnzhèng wǒ de péngyou quān yǐjīng bèi wúshù wēishāng shuāpíng le 。
