Essay on Pros and cons of the Internet

The Internet is for sure one of the greatest inventions of last century. The point is that the invention and implementation of it to different spheres of our life has completely changed the way we live it. It has transformed the process of communication, study, search of information and even the way of thinking. But are all these changes positive?

First of all, the existence of the Internet doubtlessly had enormous effect on our lives. Furthermore, it brought more opportunities that had been unachievable before. As for the process of communication, it’s obvious that the appearance of the Internet has given us a chance to keep in touch with people from all over the world. We are able to hear and see our faraway relatives and friends as well as make a deal with clients and business partners from different continents. Moreover, we have unlimited access to any kind of information, which makes it easier to study and develop ourselves.  

On the other hand, it’s disputable if we use all these advantages or not. The unlimited access to information can be treated as drawback, because people are not motivated to get knowledge. In addition, the information that is available for everyone is not so desirable any more. The vast majority of teenagers waste their free time surfing useless websites and chatting with each other. They stopped communicating face to face and don’t spend enough time outside. The problem is also that the Internet is like a drug for many people. More and more often we talk about the Internet addiction and how it ruins our lives.

As for me, I can see a lot of advantages and new opportunities that the Internet allows us to use. Nevertheless, we have to be vigilant and do not become addicted.

Сочинение на тему "Интернет в нашей жизни: плюсы и минусы"

Интернет однозначно является величайшим изобретением века. Дело в том, что изобретение и внедрение его в различные сферы нашей жизни совершенно изменило ее образ. Это трансформировало процесс общения, учебы, поиска информации и даже образ нашего мышления. Но все ли эти изменения положительные?

Прежде всего, существование Интернета, несомненно, оказало огромное влияние на нашу жизнь. Кроме того, появилось больше возможностей, которые были недостижимы прежде. Что касается процесса общения, то это очевидно, что появление Интернета дало нам возможность поддерживать отношения с людьми со всего мира. Мы можем слышать и видеть наших далеких родственников и друзей, так же как и заключать сделки с клиентами и бизнес партнерами с других континентов. Более того, у нас есть безграничный доступ к любой информации, что делает нашу учебу и развитие более легким.

С другой стороны, спорным является тот факт, используем ли мы все эти преимущества или нет. Безграничный доступ к информации может считаться и недостатком, потому что люди не мотивированы получать знания. Более того, информация, которая доступна каждому не является больше желаемой. Большинство подростков впустую тратят свое свободное время, посещая бесполезные сайты и переписываясь друг с другом. Они не общаются лицом к лицу и не проводят достаточно времени на улице. Проблема также в том, что Интернет для многих людей подобен наркотику. Все чаще и чаще мы говорим об интернет-зависимости и как она разрушает нашу жизнь.

Что касается меня, то я вижу много преимуществ и новых возможностей, которые Интернет позволяет нам использовать. Тем не менее, мы должны быть бдительными и не становится зависимыми.

Объяснение:

I am sure, in order to have a good job one should know foreign languages. The most widespread languages in the world are Chinese, Spanish, English and some others. But every well educated person in the world speaks English, because it is the language of communication, busi­ness, science and culture.

English is now the most important and widespread language in the world. It is the state language in five countries: Great Britain, Canada, the USA, Australia and New Zealand. English is one of the six official and working languages of the United Nations. It is the second working language in the European Community. In many Asian and African countries, such as India or Egypt, in former British colonies people speak English besides their native one. People also speak English in Europe. English is spoken practically all over the world.

Independent Ukraine has relations with many countries. More and more direct contacts are established with the countries of Europe, with the United States, Great Britain, Canada and other English-speaking countries.

Taking into account the economic development in our country, hundreds of joint ventures have appeared in every city and town of Ukraine recently. Besides, a lot of foreign delegations come to our country. Our businessmen, tourists, experts often go abroad. As I have already mentioned just English is the language of the international communication. That is why it is very important to learn English.

Nowadays, a lot of people study foreign languages in every possible way. Foreign-language study groups are organized at industrial enterprises, at the offices of big firms, at the educational establishments, at research institutes.

I think English is worth studying. There is a proverb "A new language – a new world". In my opinion, every person, who goes abroad, should be able to find his own way about in an English-speaking community without interpreters.

It's a pity that not much attention is paid for studying foreign languages in our schools. There are some schools specialized in studying foreign languages in Ukraine. Their pupils have lessons in foreign language every day. But their number is rather small. Most schools have Foreign Language only once or twice a week. It's impossible to master any foreign language under such conditions. That's why those who want to improve their knowledge have to take private lessons. But not all, who want to know foreign language well, have the possibility to pay for them.
