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.

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 !
