One of the amazing things about the World Wide Web is that everyone can make a web page. If people find your page interesting, they will come to1it. If lots of people2your page, then you have made something of value(价值). The idea of a TV station is to make a place that attracts(吸引) lots of people. Then the station's owner can ask companies(公司) for advertising(广告)3TV. A web page is like a small TV station. If yours becomes very popular, then you can4ads on it. That is one form of "value". On a popular page5can talk to others and it gives you a chance to meet people.
If you want to make your own page, you have6choices(选择). You can make a page that says, "Hi, my name is Sudi and here is a picture of Mini, my cat. My favorite animals are. . . " That is fine,7it is not very interesting to others except your close friends. The other choice you have is to make a site that other people find8. Pick something you enjoy or know a lot about and make a page about it. For9, if you like football, make the best page on the net about it.
The people from all over the world will come to visit your page because you are10something of value.
Maybe you heard a lot about the Internet, but what is it?
The Internet includes many different networks(网络) around the world. A network is a group of computers put together. These networks joined together are called the Internet.
Maybe that doesn't sound interesting. But when we join the Internet, there are lots of things we can do. We can use the Internet instead of a library to find all kinds of information for our homework. We can find information about our favorite sports or film stars and do shopping on the Internet. We can also send messages to other people by email. It's much cheaper and quicker than calling our friends or sending a letter.
Because of the Internet, the world is becoming smaller and smaller. People can now work at home with a computer, get and send the information they need. But do you know 98% of the information is in English? So what will English be like tomorrow?
