We are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know the history of the Internet? Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn't work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time.

At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to used it,too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. Scientists had also developed software that made “surfing” the Internet more convenient.

Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among the students. The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people’s life.

Nowadays people’s lives are becoming better and better. They usually eat dinner in a good restaurant. And they often order 1. food than they need. When they are full, they just 2. away the rest to the dustbin. But I know that there are still many people around the world which are short of food, so I try my best to 3. food anytime anywhere. Yesterday was my grandfather’s birthday. My parents and I decided to have 4. big meal in a restaurant to celebrate his birthday. When we got to the restaurant, the 5. took us to sit at a table and gave us a big menu to have a look. Then she left. Some time later, she returned and asked for our 6.. At first my father ordered nine dishes because nine was a 7. number. He thought the number would bring my grandfather long life. But I disagreed with my father. I told them many people were still 8. and they needed food. As we couldn’t finish so much food, I thought we’d better cut some of our dishes. My father and my grandfather were very happy. They said I was a good boy and they were proud of me. Then they cut off four dishes. At last we only had 9. dishes and we finished every plate. Even though my family ate less food than usual, they were very happy because I learnt to save food.

If everyone can do 10. for the “Clear Your Plate” campaign, there will be more food for the hungry people around the world.
