Perhaps you have heard a lot about the Internet, but what is it, do you know? The Internet is a network. It uses the telephone to join millions of computer together around the world.
Maybe that doesn’t sound very interesting. But when you are joined to the internet, there are lots and lots of things you can do. You can send e-mail to your friends, and they can get them in a few seconds. You can also do with all kinds of information on the World Wide Web (WWW).
There are many different kinds of computers now. They all can be joined to the internet. Most of them are small machines sitting on people’s desks at home, but there are still many others in schools, offices, or large companies. These computers are owned by people and companies, but no one really owns the internet itself.
There are lots of places for you to go into the internet. For example, your school may have the internet. You use it during lessons or free time. Libraries often have computers joined to the internet. You are welcome to use it at any time.
Thanks to the internet, the world is becoming small. It is possible for you to work at home with a computer in front, getting and sending the information you need. You can buy or sell what ever you want by the internet. But do you know 98% of the information on the internet is in English? So what will English be like tomorrow?

How do I like to travel?
Many people like to travel by plane, but I don’t like it because an airport is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late. You can’t open the window. You can’t choose the food. Planes are fast, but they still take hours to get out of the airport and into the city.
I like traveling by train. I think trains are safe. Railway stations are usually in cities. When you are late for a train you can catch another one .you can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little more time.
