The Internet

  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(網(wǎng)絡(luò)) didn't work well.If one computer in the networks broke down, the whole network stopped.So a new network system(系統(tǒng))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 the 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 expensive and the Internet was difficult to use.By the start of the 1990s, computers had become cheaper and easier to use.Scientists had also developed software that made“surfing”the Internet(網(wǎng)上沖浪)more convenient(方便的).Today it is easy to get online and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day.Sending e-mails is more and more popular(普通的)among students.

How I study English

I often hear some students say English is difficult, and it gives them a headache. So they can’t learn it well. But English is very easy for me. I’m good at it. I’m very glad to tell you something about how I study English.

First, I think an interest(愛好)in English is very important. When I was in Grade One, we had a new subject – English. It was fresh for me . I was interested in it, so I worked hard at it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. How happy I was! After that, I learned English harder and harder. Our English teacher often teaches us English songs, the songs sound nice. I often think how interesting English is!

Second, I think English is a foreign language. I should learn it well in the following ways: Listen to the teacher carefully, speak bravely, read aloud and have a good vocabulary(詞匯). Then practice again and again, never be tired. And I also have a good habit: Asking whenever(不論何時(shí))I have a question, I must make it clear by asking our English teacher. How happy I am when I understand!

Besides this, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels. From these I know English is not only interesting, but also useful. They help me understand a lot of things. So to do more reading is an important way to learn English well.

And I also do some exercises from our class magazines, and I often write English diaries. English has become a close friend of mine.
