The Internet is becoming important in our
life. Here is something about it.
What is the Internet?
The Internet is a largeꎬworldwide collection
of computer networks. A network is a small group
of computers put together. The Internet is many
different networks from all over the world. Once
you have learned to use the Internetꎬyou can do a
lot of interesting things on the World Wide Web.
What is the World Wide Web?
The World Wide Web has been the most
popular development of the Internet. The Web is
like a big electronic book with millions of pages.
These pages are called homepages (主页). You
can find information about almost anything in the
world on these pages. For exampleꎬyou can use
the Internet instead of a library to find information
for your homework. You can also find information
about your favourite sport or film starꎬtalk to your
friends or even do some shopping on the pages.
Most pages have wordsꎬpictures and even sound or
music.
What is e ̄mail?
Electronic mail is a way of sending messages
to other people. Its much quicker and cheaper
than sending a letter. If you want to use e ̄mailꎬ
you must have an e ̄mail address. This address
must have letters and dots (点) and an “ @ ”
(means at) . This is what an address looks like:
Emily @ star. net. Write a messageꎬ type in the
persons e ̄mail addressꎬ and then send the
message across the Internet. People dont need to
use stampsꎬenvelopes or go to the post office since
