4. In what ways do you think the Internet will improve our lives in the future?Suggested answers2.Fast speed and easy access are the most important aspects of the Internet. Compared to the postal system, e-mail is very fast because people can receive an e-mail instantly after it is sent instead of waiting several days for a letter. Also, with a wire that connects the computer with the Internet, people no longer need to queue to pay for thing, to book tickets or to register for something. They only need to sit in front of the computer and key in their information. The Internet has made modern life very convenient. 3. The Internet has its negative aspects. As the Internet allows free flow of information, people sometimes find that there is too much information online that has not been proven to be true. To some extent, the Internet is becoming a place to spread rumours. In addition, the Internet helps the free spread and downloading of pictures, literature, music or films without acquiring the permission from the copyright holders, which is illegal.Suggested answersSuggested answers4. The Internet will free people from the office. People will not have to go to their offices every day. They can do their business online, including reading documents and having meetings. At that time, people will have more spare time and arrange their personal lives freely. Besides, every part of a home can be connected to the Internet, e.g., the fridge, the microwave oven or the bath, so that you can use the computer to pop online and control the electric devices at home when you are away. At that time, you can get home with food ready in the microwave oven and hot water ready in the bathroom. What used to be a great nuisance in the daily life will be just simply at one click of the mouse. Finally, the Internet will shorten the distance between people in different parts of the world. Free access to information will enable people to better understand the world they are living in. This will better protect the minority cultures and help people avoid culture shock.Listening Internet addiction.Watch a short video .Page 124, listening Part A: 1’30”Let’s listen to an article about the Internet addiction.
