Q: How often do you use a computer?
A: The Internet has affected every aspect of my daily life from morning to evening. In the morning, I use the Internet to check the weather forecast, read news and go over my e-mail in box. While I study during the day, the Internet provides valuable information about my school courses for me to study effectively. At night, I play computer games for a while and chat with my family members and friends through an instant messenger. The Internet maybe reduces the chance of face-to-face communication, but it shortens the distance between people far away from each other at the same time.
互联网从早到晚影响了我日常生活的方方面面。早上,我用互联网查天气预报,阅读新闻、查看我的电子邮件收件箱。当我在白天学习时,互联网为我提供了学校课程的宝贵信息,让我有效地学习。晚上,我玩一会儿电脑游戏,通过即时讯息与我的家人和朋友聊天。互联网也许减少了面对面交流的机会,但是它同时缩短了相隔很远的人们之间的距离。
