Topic 47 People's Use of the Internet
From the chart we can see clearly that the number of Internet surfers in
our country has increased from 26.5 million in July 2005 to 45.8 million in July
2006, and then to 59.1 million in January 2007.
In my mind, the reasons why the Internet surfers are on the rise are as
follows. First, the Internet can help us accomplish many tasks, including both
work and play—searching for information has become more convenient than ever,and
safe online business is no longer a dream. Besides, surfing the Internet is
becoming cheaper and cheaper—more and more people can afford it.
The negative effects of the Internet are also clear. To begin with, sitting
too long before the computers is harmful to our body, especially to our eyes. In
addition, more and more people become indulged in playing video games or
chatting online, which are time-consuming.
All in all, I should say the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. The key
lies in whether we can make good use of it to enhance both work and study. |
