口語話題練習:Internet

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.


互聯網從早到晚影響了我日常生活的方方面面。早上,我用互聯網查天氣預報,閱讀新聞、查看我的電子郵件收件箱。當我在白天學習時,互聯網為我提供了學校課程的寶貴信息,讓我有效地學習。晚上,我玩一會兒電腦遊戲,通過即時訊息與我的家人和朋友聊天。互聯網也許減少了面對面交流的機會,但是它同時縮短了相隔很遠的人們之間的距離。
