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.

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 !
