Internet and my life

　　Last year, I had to move to a new place where now I am living in. It was very far from my city and where I had no TV to watch, no film to see and no library to read a book. I had nothing but some dull work to do. Life then to me was like a desert.

　　However, to my great surprise, I found a web bar, which was very far from the place I live in. I entered the bar that day. It was from then on that I began to immerse myself into Internet.

　　When I first came into the bar, I didn't know how to access the Internet. With the help of others, I opened a homepage only to find it was full of colorful and rich contents. How interesting it was！Clicking the mouse, I set up my own email address under the guidance. I read sports news, entertainment news and all kinds of much other information.

　　I was becoming happier and happier. On holidays I sent e-cards to my friends to express my greeting and my congratulations. I also bought several books through e-business and ordered free e-magazines, which were of much help to my study.

　　Hearing that it is very efficient to find a job on Internet, I am ready to have a try.

I was and am being benefited from Internet, which makes my life brighter and brighter. With the company of Internet, I will never feel idle any more.

Computer and Network

　　A computer is an electronic machine that can store and work with large quantities of information. Computers can do hard mathematical problem fast, can retrieve（检索） information quickly, and can help a person work with words and pictures.

　　Using only the computer in your home and a few pieces of software, what you can do is limited. Network lets you keep in touch with people you know and meet hundreds of people you didn't know before. It can transform a small tool into a treasure house of tools for hundreds of uses.

　　The Internet is the most powerful tool for information exchange. It is a collection of computer networks all over the world, and the World Wide Web (WWW) is an easy-to-use access system. The Internet has created a new environment and will affect the future of society.
