Response # 1 Re: 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 a wonderful invention of modern life. It makes our world a small village.

Response # 2 Re: 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 can not easily get access to it. I sometimes visit my uncle in the city on weekends, and it 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.
Where does Honghoa live?

b. When does she have a good
chance to explore the net?
→ She lives in the countryside.
→ she has a good chance to explore the net on weekends.
