The Internet—A Blessing or Curse?

　　Nowadays college students often use the Internet for study， shopping， entertainment， and many other things. Some people say that the Internet facilitates students’ lives， but others worry that it might affect students’ study. In my opinion， the Internet is good for college students when it is used appropriately.

　　The Internet is good for college students. First， students can collect many kinds of information via the Internet. (linkage) When students find something interesting in the book， but their teacher cannot give them more details or answer all their questions in class， they can search the Internet after class to find the details or answers by themselves. Second， the Internet keeps students updated with what is happening all over the world. (linkage) Just by browsing the web-page， students can read a lot of news. They can also type on some key words to search and follow any affair on the Internet. They don’t have to search piles of newspapers and thus save much time for study.

　　In one word， the Internet facilitates students’ lives when it is used reasonably. Now more and more college students are becoming aware of the convenience and the importance of using the Internet.
