The use of computer and the internet allows people to work at home instead of traveling to work. For example, a journalist who lives in a remote part of the world still gets in his articles on time for the next day’s newspapers. The internet allows businesses to communicate with customers and workers in any parts of the world for the cost of a local telephone call . This means it’s inexpensive to communicate . Email allows users to send documents, pictures and other data from one part of the world to another in at least 5 minutes. The internet is providing a lot of new business opportunities. Some businesses are advertising their products on the internet. People can use the internet to do shopping. This saves a lot of time. It is possible to use the internet for education- students may connect with their teachers from home to send or receive e. mail or talk their problems through ‘ on – line’ rather than attend a class. 1 the internet is ................................ to communicate with people around the world a a cheap way b an expensive way c an inconvenient way d a difficult way 2 through the internet , businesses can............................................. a buy goods from each other b advertise and sell their products c send their products to customer d all are correct 3 it takes ............................ to do the shopping to the internet a a lot of time b a little time c less time d more time 4 which of the fowllowing is true ? a thanks to the internet , people do not need to go to work b e-mail can be used to advertise new products c the internet can be used for education d students nowdays spend more time going on line than attending school
