I can also communicate with my friends and relatives by means of e-mail or chatting. However, I don’t use the Internet very often because I don’t have much time. For me, the Internet is a wonderful invention of modern life. It makes our world a small village.43 Response #2 Re: The InternetPosted by Honghoa Nobody can deny the benefits of the Internet in our life. However, it is a pity for me as well as for most of my friends in the countryside. The Internet is available only in cities, therefore I cannot easily get access to it.

I spend most of the time wandering because I just don’t know which website is useful for me.Response #3 Re: The InternetPosted by Huansui People use the Internet for many purposes: education, communication, entertainment and commerce.
