Period 32: Writing the benefits of the internet.
Unit5: The media

The Internet posted by Jimhello on Tuesday, 10 December 2002, at 9.07 pm.
The Internet has increasingly developed and become part of our everyday life. Do you find the Internet useful ? What do you use the Internet for? How much time do you spend surfing the web a day? Please respond to these questions ?
Response # 2Re: The Internet_Posted by Honghoa: Nobody can deny the benefits of the Internet in our life. However, it is a pity for me as well as for most of my friends in the countryside. The Internet is available only in cities, therefore I cannot easily get access to it. I sometimes visit my uncle in the city on weekends, and this is a good occasion for me to explore the net. I spend most of the time wandering because I just don’t know which website is useful for me.

Response # 3Re: The Internet_Posted by Huansui: People use the Internet for many purposes: education, communication, entertainment and commerce. However, the Internet has limitations. It is not only time-consuming and costly but also dangerous because of viruses and bad programs. Moreover, Internet users sometimes have to suffer various risks such as spam or electronic junk mail, and personal information leaking. So, while enjoying surfing, be alert ! Page: 43/44





Response # 1Re: The Internet_Posted by Sandra Morgan
In my opinion , the Internet is a very fast and convenient way for me to get information . I can also communicate with my friends and relatives by means of e-mail or chatting . However, I don’ t use the Internet very often because I don’ t have much time. For me, the Internet is the wonderful invention of modern life .It makes our world a small village.

Benefits of the Internet :

The Internet has increasingly developed and become part of our everyday life. Nobody can deny the benefits of the Internet.
Firstly, it is a very fast and convenient way to get information. It is a source of information: you can get the latest local or global news ; you can check weather conditions before you go camping, fishing outdoors … You can find a timetable and maps of the buses you want to take; you can book your tickets for the next concert, soccer match, trip, hotel, etc.
Secondly, it is a various source of entertainment: you can listen to music, to the songs, watch movies, play games, read novels, do the sightseeing… online.
Finally, it is a rich means of educational materials and it provides on-line lessons: you can look up new words and information necessary for your self-studied activities. You can take on-line courses to get a degree…
Therefore , the Internet is very useful but we have to be alert against spam, viruses and bad programs., etc.
