“I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning to surf the Intern”
“I check my e-mail almost forty times a day.”
“I seldom spend less than three hours each time on the net.”
“spend more time in chat rooms than with my 'real-life’ friends.”
Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addiction(瘾) called Internet addiction.According to experts,Internet addicts(迷)spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week.They lose control of the time they spend on the Internet.
For example,one college student was missing for several days.His friends were worried and 1ooked for him everywhere but couldn’t find him.They called the police.The police found the student in the computer lab: he was surfing the Internet — for seven days straight.
A study shows that about six to ten percent of Internet users become addicted.The teenager spend more time on the Internet than with friends and family. That’s why some experts worry most about young people.
Is “surfing the Internet” a hobby or all addiction for you? You may have a problem if you have one of the following symptoms(症状):
★You go out with your friends less and less.
★You can’t wait to get online again.
★You’ve decided to spend a short time online,but then you spend several hours.
★You do not go to important family events or you do not do school projects because you like to spend hours on the Internet.
What is the solution? Some experts suggest that people set strict limits on their time for Internet use. You have to learn to control it,or the Internet would control you.How many hours does an Internet addict spend online every week according to experts?

Dear Liz,
My stay in Thailand has certainly been the experience of my life.
Life is busy and exciting.Bangkok is just like any other big city with a population of 10 million and heavy traffic.I'm very lucky because my host family is in a nice quiet area outside the city.There are Mr. and Mrs. Phairat, their son Sanan, who is 18, the daughter Chinda, who is 16, and Grandpa and Grandma.
I go to an international school with Sanan and Chinda.The school teaches about 70 percent in English,and 30 percent in Thai. I've learned some spoken language,but Thai writing is very difficult.The cooking lesson is my favourite.I'm learning all about Thai food and culture People don’t use chopsticks here,but spoons and forks.When I come back,I'm going to cook you a real Thai meal.
Last weekend we visited some temples.We also drove to Pattaya beach near Bangkok.I thought it was great,but Sanan and Chinda say that next month they’re taking me to Phuket Island,where the beaches are even more beautiful.The month after next,we’re going to travel to Mr.Phairat,s hometown in the north of Thailand.The Phairats own land there,and they have two elephants.I’m going to ride those elephants — and even wash them.Sanan and Chinda say it’s really fun.
I'm amazed by everything in this country,especially by the elephants.Elephants are an important pan of Thai culture and way of life.They have been a traditional symbol(象征)of Thailand for many years in times of war and peace.In the seventh century,a Thai king trained 20,000 elephants for battle.
I’ll tell you all about my Thai boxing(拳击)lessons next time I write.
