Hi everyone, my name is An and i came from class 8c. Today I will talk about the

gadgets of the internet today

The Internet is growing and becoming a part of everyday life. No one can deny the benefits that the internet brings. I agree that the Internet is the most useful media today.

First, the Internet is a very useful tool

. We can get information on every aspect very quickly and conveniently. We can read e-books or check weather conditions. Through the internet, we can look at the prices of certain consumer goods.

Second, the Internet is a source of entertainment. We can watch a movie, listen to recent music albums, play games, read novels, ....

Finally, the Internet is an educational medium. We can learn foreign languages, look up information. We can attend online courses. Internet is almost an unlimited educational resource for you to get.

Today, the Internet is a highly effective tool for communication, information gathering and collaboration among remote locations. Millions of people around the world are using the Internet to communicate, share information, create new associations, and so on.

The downside is that the Internet can be addictive. Some people can not live without it. They have no real friends and when the Internet is down, they are angry.

Internet has some rivals but more and more people handle the Internet like phone, or radio. They use it to have fun and work, and I think living now without internet would be quite difficult.

But try to use the internet effectively.

I would like to end here, I hope everyone comments and comments to my rhetoric today is more perfect

HOW TO IMPROVE ENGLISH COMMUNICATION SKILLS

Find native English speakers

In certain areas it’s the hardest thing to do, but it’s the best use of your time. Talking to actual native speakers is the most effective way to improve your English skills, speaking or otherwise. So whether you have to Skype them, call them, or beg them to speak to you, do so. Your progress will be faster this way than any other.

Listen to the music of English

No, not English music, the music of English - its lilt, its prosody, the sing-songy-ness of it. The intonation. Even if you speak perfect English technically, if you speak it like a robot you’re not speaking it the way it’s meant to be spoken.

Slow down

Above all, if you want to be understood, slow down. The more clearly you speak, the better chance your listener has of understanding you. It’s tempting to get nervous and want to speed up to get it all over with, but you can’t do that! Clarity is key - for some native English speakers, too!

Record yourself

Though we hear ourselves all the time, we really don’t know quite what we sound like. So record yourself! What are the weak and strong points you hear in your speech? And then you can concentrate on what you need to work on.

Speak English at home

This is the biggest, easiest mistake to make. You go about your day, you’re on the job working partly in English, you go to your English class, and then you go home and revert back to your native tongue. While you may be making slow improvements, you’ll never get past that dreaded lingual plateau. Make a point to speak it at home, too. Have only English at the dinner table. Stick to English TV at home. Make it as 24/7 as possible.

Listening to the music of English means Listening to English music.

Talking to actual native speakers is the least effective way to improve your English skills

B. False

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 28 to 34.

   Garbage is a big problem all over the world. People buy and use a lot of things nowadays. After a while, they throw them away in the garbage bin. All the garbage is later thrown away or dumped outside the city. These places are called landfill sites. In many cities, landfill sites are now full.

   We have to manage our waste and garbage better. If we throw away so many things, soon we will have no place to dump them. The best thing to do is to reduce the amount of garbage. If we use less, we throw away less. For instance, we can buy food in big boxes and packages. Then we throw away only one box every month or so. Otherwise, we throw away many small boxes or cans every day.

   Similarly, we can reuse a lot of packaging. For example, we do not have to buy take-out coffee in Styrofoam cups, which are made of aluminum - a toxic material to the environment. We can bring our own cup from home and fill it with fresh coffee.

   We also do not have to take the plastic bags from the supermarket. We can bring our own cloth bag from home instead. When we pack lunch, it is better to use a lunch box than a paper bag. Instead of paper plates, we can use real plates. We can clean up with a dishtowel, not a paper towel. We can use a compost bin for food scraps. In this way, the food gets back into the earth. It does not get mixed up with the regular garbage.

   Finally, all paper, glass and metal we do use, we can recycle. In many countries, there are now recycling programs. In Germany, for example, people separate all glass bottles by color. Then they put the bottles into special bins that are on the street. The city collects the glass, cleans it, and reuses it. As well, in most countries, people recycle newspapers and cardboard. It is easy and efficient.
