没有互联网，你能正常生活吗?
The Internet has become a part of our lives. It seems almost impossible to think of days without it. Will you be able to handle life without the Internet?
Sam (US)
I can live without the Internet as long as I want. Why? Because I was born and grew up without the Internet. And most of the time I only use the Internet to write emails to my wife and friends, as well as looking for jobs. The Internet is a good thing to play with, but there are other things to do besides the Internet.
Vicky (UK)
I cannot live without the Internet. One day when the Internet connection(连接) was down, I felt very irritated. I use it to send emails to my family and friends. I also use it to chat online. I use it to play online games when I feel bored. I also use it to make money. As well, I use it to download(下载) my favorite music and videos.
Bill (Australia)
I could live without the Internet, but would I want too? NO! With the Internet, I’m free to travel anywhere around the world and still have everything at my fingertips(指尖). The Internet helps to give me a lifestyle I really enjoy. As long as I can get online, I can work.
Lili (China)
I have the same feeling, I can live without the Internet. My life may be healthier, because I have more time to go out without the Internet. But I will miss it so much too, because it brings me a lot of fun.
