Section B: Summary
[10 marks]

[Time suggested: 30 minutes]

Read the passage and complete the following task.

Nowadays you do not care about your friends. You prefer to check your
emails in the middle of the night as the Internet has become the centre of your

Your summary must:

• be in continuous writing (not note form)
• be written in one paragraph

Use your own words as far as possible without changing its original meaning.

Begin your summary as follows:

You might be addicted to the Internet because it provides ...
