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
