The benefits of the Internet
The Internet has widely developed recently and it has three main benefits. Firstly, the Internet is a plentiful and reliable source of information. We can get information such as news, articles and weather forecasts very fast and conveniently. The information is not only diversified but also very updated. Secondly, the internet is a very good way to entertain. We can listen to music, watch videos and play games on- line. Besides, we can chat with friends and relatives who live far away. It is a very cheap means of communication. Lastly, the Internet provides a rich source of educational materials and convenient way to study. On the Internet, we can search a lot of websites which contain useful guidelines and methods for study. In addition, we can do on-line exercises and take on-line tests. We don’t need to go to school but we still can complete the educational programs. In conclusion, the Internet brings us lots of benefits which make our life more modern and convenient.
Write about the disadvantages of the Internet. Use the cues.
- Waste time and money.
- Bad websites.

The disadvantages of the internet
According to me, there are some disadvantages of using the Internet.
Firstly you spend too much time on playing games, watching favorite programs. It is time consuming for you. Secondly, using the Internet is costly. Next, it is sometimes 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.
Therefore, I think the Internet has some disadvantages. About you, you think as the same as me, don’t you ?
