READING

Task 1. Read the text and answer the questions putting A, B, C or D

How do YOU use the net?

We asked members of one family to tell us what they use the Internet for and why. Here is what they told us.

A Grandad Peter

I might be over 80 but the Internet is invaluable to me. At my age it’s not always so easy to get about and my friends and family are scattered all over the globe. It’s difficult to visit and have face-to-face conversations that often. It’s a bit pricy too! Phoning isn’t that convenient because of the different time zones. I don’t think my brother in Australia would appreciate being woken up at three in the morning just for me to say hello! So I keep in touch by e-mail and it’s very important to me. It took me a while to get the hang of it but now it’s no problem at all.

B Daughter Lynne

I must admit that I’m a spendaholic and I’m on auction sites all the time. I can’t resist a bargain and I love the excitement of bidding against other people and never being sure whether you’re going to win or not. It’s quite addictive so I have to be careful or else I would be completely broke! I think it’s incredible that whatever you’re looking to buy, someone out there has got it to sell.

C Mum Karen

I find the net useful for downloading information for my students. You can also access sites that give you free lesson plans and good, imaginative ideas for making lessons interesting. There’s such a lot of knowledge out there too. To get the answers to the kind of questions I have, it would take hours with piles of books and I simply don’t have the time. For me the net is a lifeline!

D Dad Oliver

My big thing is news and sports and I’m always online checking the latest scores. I work shifts too, so I often miss the regular news slots and with the net I can always watch news clips of programmes that were on earlier. It also brings you breaking news and with the more controversial issues if you want to, you can read people’s comments and of course, make your own. I do that quite often. And there are also online newspapers. If I don’t get a paper, I can always go online and click on to the newspapers website. It’s easier to choose what you want to read rather than leafing through the papers which can be so big these days

Which person (A–D) says …

1 I see the net as time saving? ___

2 I sometimes share my opinions with others? ___

3 I use it to get help with my work? ___

4 I don’t always get what I want? ___

5 it took time to work out how to use the net? ___
