Response # 1Re: 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 modem 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 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 # 3 Re: 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!
1. Sandra uses the Internet to get information, and listen to music.
2. It’s difficult for Huansui to get access to the Internet because he lives in the country
and Internet is available only in cities.
3. According to Huansui, people use the Internet for various purposes: education,
communication, entertainment and commerce.
4. Besides the advantages, Internet is very time - consuming and costly and there are
many viruses and bad programs that have bad influence on small children.
