[00:03.05]The Internet—A Blessing or Curse?
[00:06.78]Nowadays college students often use the Internet for study,
[00:10.89]shopping, entertainment, and many other things.
[00:14.56]Some people say that the Internet facilitates students' lives,
[00:18.91]but others worry that it might affect students' study.
[00:22.21]In my opinion,
[00:23.27]the Internet is good for college students
[00:25.96]when it is used appropriately.
[00:28.57]The Internet is good for college students.
[00:31.43]First, students can collect many kinds of
[00:33.92]information via the Internet.
[00:36.84]When students find something interesting in the book,
[00:39.64]but their teacher cannot give them more details
[00:43.00]or answer all their questions in class,
[00:45.74]they can search the Internet after class
[00:48.35]to find the details
[00:49.49]or answers by themselves.
[00:51.74]Second, the Internet keeps students updated
[00:55.27]with what is happening all over the world.
[00:58.01]Just by browsing the web-page,
[00:59.75]students can read a lot of news.
[01:02.49]They can also type on some key words
[01:04.79]to search and follow any affair on the Internet.
[01:08.40]They don't have to search piles of newspapers
[01:10.95]and thus save much time for study.
[01:13.89]In one word, the Internet facilitates students' lives
[01:17.74]when it is used reasonably.
[01:19.92]Now more and more college students
[01:21.66]are becoming aware of the convenience
[01:23.90]and the importance of using the Internet.
