The usage of Internet becomes one of the most controversial topics in the society. As a college student, I believe Internet is beneficial to me more than the way it harms me. There are many advantages for using Internet.
因特网的使用成为一个社会中最有争议的话题。作为一名大学生，我认为互联网是对于我是利大于弊的。使用互联网有很多优点。
First, I can best use my time to find information online instead of going to different libraries. Also, the information can be dated back in decades ago. It is very helpful to use those information as reference and historical proof. In the library, it is hard to find so much old information. Another advantage to use Internet is that I can stay home and have a lecture online. It is much more convenience to me because I can stay warm to have class in the winter time instead of spending two hours on the bus and physically attend class. In addition, Internet provides me a better way to communicate with my friends and professors. I can get response from my professor in a few minutes instead of waiting outside of his door for hours. Some of my friends are living in a foreign countries, I can simply just drop him an email whenever I can and get a message from him very quick. It is much better than waiting for letters. Also, the email will not lose while the letter might be losing in the process of delivery.
首先，我可以充分利用我的时间去网上查找信息而不是去各个图书馆。同时，网上的信息可以追溯到几十年前。把那些信息作为参考或历史凭证是很有帮助的。在图书馆里，很难找到那么老的信息。使用互联网的另一个优势是，我可以呆在家里在网上听讲座。对我来说是很方便的，因为我可以，在冬天的时候保持温暖上课而不是花两个小时坐公共汽车而且心不在焉的上课。此外，互联网为我和我的朋友与教授提供了一个更好的交流方式。我可以在几分钟内得到我的教授的回应，而不是在他的门外等几个小时。我有些朋友是住在国外的，我可以随时给他发邮件，也可以很快的得到回信。这比等待的信件好得多。同时，邮件不会丢失而信件则有可能在运送过程中丢失。
However, there are also disadvantage of using Internet. For example, I might spend too much time on the Internet to concentrate on my study. Also, there is a chance that I am cheated because of the Internet purchasing. Last, Internet has lots of information, both helpful and harmful. There might be too much tempatation that I will access some of the harmful information I can on the Internet.
但是，也有使用互联网也是有缺点的。例如，我可能会花过多的时间在互联网上而无法专注于我的学习。同时，因为网购我也可能有被受骗的机会。最后，网上有大量的信息，既有有益的也有有害的。在互联网上可能有太多的诱惑，我会获得一些有害信息。
Even though the usage of Internet has both positive and negative effect to me, I still consider Internet is a symbol of technology development. I believe I can use the Internet very well as long as I know how to control myself.
即使使用互联网对我既有积极的也有消极的影响，我仍然认为互联网是技术发展的象征。我相信只要我知道如何控制自己，我能很好地使用互联网。
