Global Penfriends is a great app for making new friends and learning about different cultures. I have made a great friend on here and it is amazing that by writing letters you can really feel conected to a person even though they live far away. I think that the app is well layed out and easy to navigate. If one thing could be changed, for me it would be to have something that pops up saying 'are you sure you want to delete your profile'(or something like that) because once I was trying to modify my profile but acidentaly clicked on 'delete profile' and that was it, my profile was gone. It would be good to have some kind of confirmation before one deletes their profile, just incase of acidents. Overall I think Global Penfriends is a great website.

I experienced different cultures and made friends from different places here, which I feel was very worthwhile. If one day, the friends I made on this platform cross paths with me in my life, I will be doubly grateful and incredibly honored! We are responsible for maintaining the diversity of world cultures and shaping their prosperity, so communication among us is absolutely essential! 在这里感受到了不同的文化,交到了不一样地方的朋友,感觉很值得。如果有一天,我在这个平台上交到的朋友,在我的生活中与我交叉出现,我一定会加倍感激,并且无比荣幸!世界文化的多样性是由我们维护的,世界文化的繁荣是由我们塑造的,所以大家之间的交流当然必不可少!
