This week I tried two new restaurants—Michelle’s and Anton’s. They are both French restaurants.

Michelle’s is a small place with about twenty tables. The waiters and waitresses are very friendly, and the service is excellent. I ordered chicken with orange sauce along with rice and a salad. Then I had a chocolate cake and coffee. The chicken was delicious, but the cake was too dry. The meal cost about thirty dollars.

Anton’s is a much bigger restaurant, and it was very crowded on that night. I waited twenty minutes for a table.Anton’s is noisier than Michelle’s, and the waiter was very slow with my meal. I ordered soup and a steak (牛排)with fried potatoes and vegetables. The soup wasn’t very hot. The steak was OK, but the vegetables weren’t very good. For dessert, I had ice cream. The meal was really expensive—about forty-five dollars.

Now you know why I would go to Michelle’s again, but not to Anton’s.

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 use it, too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made “surfing” the Internet easier.

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