People often say, "Even without stepping out of my house I know all that has been
happening in the world."
I think that is quite true, especially in modern times.
We get all kinds of news from newspaper and TV and the Internet. This helps us to
understand the developing world, without having to go to the places where events are
really taking place.
Newspapers not only carry news but also teach us many useful things, such as first
aid, cooking, playing games and chess, how to take good photographs and enrich us with
common sense.
More and more people enjoy watching TV or going to Internet school everyday. Net
school is very useful in many ways. First of all, it can make teaching and learning much
easier with great interest. Students can get more information and knowledge in class. We
can send E-mails to all parts of the world at any time, and get the latest information
through the Internet.
Reading a newspaper or watching TV or going to net school can widen our view of
knowledge. They help us improve our listening, speaking, reading and writing.
Because of all these advantages, I like to read newspapers, to watch TV and go to net
school.
