ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE INTERNET
There are many people who think that the Internet is necessary, but I think it is more dangerous than we think. It
is true that it has changed our lives. For a few years people were excited about the Internet, but we now see that we
have to be careful when we use the Internet.
Where does this doubt about the Internet come from? In the first place, what I am especially worried about is that online
shopping has turned us into simple and trusting consumers. We give personal details and credit card numbers too easily, which
has given rise to crimes such as identity theft. This means that someone else can use your name and money any way they
please. For example, they can spend all your savings shopping online or commit crimes and have you held responsible for them.
Furthermore, there is no way to control access to sites containing material that children should not be exposed to. Also,
what seem to be innocent chat rooms, which are so popular with young people, can also be very dangerous. One of the ways
in which the Internet encourages illegal behaviour is that it hides the user’s identity. Thus, you can never be sure that the
people you are chatting with are actually who they claim to be.
C. Rewrite the introduction to make it more interesting.
D. The article has no conclusion. Choose the most
appropriate one to end the article.
1. In short, the Internet goes hand in hand with the issues
mentioned above, which can threaten our well-being in
general. Like any other powerful instrument, it can be used
unlawfully when in the wrong hands, and we should be
aware of this when connecting to the Net.
2. To conclude, although there are several drawbacks to the
Internet, there are also many advantages which we cannot
ignore. For example, it enables us to communicate with
people all around the world, access information, and it
offers people a variety of entertainment alternatives.
