Wang Gang: I like surfing the Internet, too. Because I can learn a lot from it. I can get the latest news all over the world. I also can find the information I need. Then I can spend less time on my homework.

Zhang Jie: It’s hard to say. I agree that the Internet is helpful to our study. But it’s not right to spend too much time on the games. And some information on the Internet is bad for our mind. What’s more, surfing too much is bad for our eyes. In a word, we should use the Internet in a right way.

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 (网络) didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system (系统) 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 the 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 use it too. However, computers were still expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers become cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software (软件) that made “surfing (浏览)” the Internet more convenient (方便).

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 students.

The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people’s life.
