Para. 4
1. Why did she start taking online classes?
2. What is the “digital divide”?
It is the gap between those who have access to the Internet and those who haven’t, and those who know how to use new technology and those who don't.
Jan has started taking online classes to learn more about how to use the Internet to make society better. She believes that it is highly important to bridge the digital divide and make sure that everyone has access to the Internet and knows how to use new technology. Her next goal is to start a charity website to raise money for children in poor countries.

Jan has started taking online classes to learn more about how to use the Internet to make society better. She believes that it is highly important to bridge the digital divide and make sure that everyone has access to the Internet and knows how to use new technology. Her next goal is to start a charity website to raise money for children in poor countries.
1. I think Jan is very helpful because she makes use of the Internet to help a lot of people in need and make the society better.
Jan’s life has been greatly improved by the Internet. “when you go through tough times, you meet others who are facing similar challenges.” Jan says. “Thinking about other people’s situation inspired me to offer help.”
Critical thinking:
1. What kind of person do you think Jan is?
2. What can we learn from Jan’s experience?
2. We learn that when we go through tough times, we can find help and support from other people online. We also learn that we can feel less lonely by creating or joining communities on the Internet, and that we can even use the Internet to achieve our goals.
