Many people like to search the Internet. Exploring the Internet is one of the most important activities of the day. The Internet brings the outside world closer to people’s homes. Some people say the world is smaller than before because of the Internet.

    What’s going on in other countries? How do people live in places far away? Is there a good sports game somewhere? What’s the life like in the deepest part of sea? If you want to answer all these questions, just come to the Internet. Of course, people can also learn through reading or listening to the radio. But with the Internet they can learn better and more easily. A lot of information can be collected at a great speed.

    Can we go shopping without leaving home? Can we see a doctor without going to the hospital? Can we study without going to school? Can we draw money without going to bank? All these things seemed to be impossible, but now they have become quite possible.

    The Internet helps us open our eyes. The Internet also helps open our minds. The Internet often gives us new ideas. In a word, it helps us in many ways. Great changes have taken place in our life since the appearance of the Internet.

We each have a memory(记忆力). That’s why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.

　　A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one can , because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the students have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects , too. But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.
