The Internet can be divided into 5 broad areas: Electronic Mail. E-mail is much faster than traditional because once the message is typed out, it arrives in the electronic mailbox of the recipient within minutes or seconds. Anything that can be digitized – pictures, sound, video — can be sent, retrieved, and printed at the other end. This is efficient, convenient, and saves trees!

Information sites. These information sites are usually stored on big computers that exist all over the world. The beauty of the Net is that you can access all of them from your home, using your own PC.

The World Wide Web. The World Wide Web is a vast network of information data bases that feature text, visuals, sound, and even video clips. On the WWW you can do such things as go on a tour of a museum or art exhibition, see the latest images from outer space, go shopping, and get travel information on hotels and holidays. You can even view a hotel's facilities before deciding to book!

Read to the text and choose the best answer (A-C) to complete the sentences. The Internet: here to stay. Most people today cannot imagine their life without the Internet. I believe it is one of the most important innovations. Thanks to the worldwide web, our lives have become easier and more exciting. First of all, the Internet helps us find information easily. For example, we can read the news and find answers to the questions 24 hours a day. In addition, we can use the Internet for entertainment. We can send e-mails to friends and shop online. We can even listen to the latest music and watch live sporting events from other parts of the world. However, some people argue that the Internet has a negative effect on society. Internet users become less sociable. They stay at home most of the day instead of going out to shop, work and meet friends. In my opinion, the Internet has more advantages than disadvantages. Our lives are better with it and I hope it is here to stay.
