  1. In recent years, almost every person has one cell phone, and we gradually stop to communicate with people. We sometimes use message to be our device to express our feeling and our thought. It makes people more indifferent.Besides, it also contains many risks when we use the Internet. I agree the topic you wrote this week very much!

  2. I can't agree with all of those five risks you listed above. I think the wrong information should be the one that we should be the most aware of when it comes to collecting information for a school report. We've been all told that Wikipedia is the last website to search for info since anyone may edit it. Internet is like a two edge sword, we shall be using it with caution anytime and anywhere.

  3. To be honest, I am addicted to Internet. The first thing I do after waking up is turning on my smartphone to see if I miss any message. It is a really bad habit and I have tried to give up it in many ways; however, I fail. It is a common problem in modern society, and I think no matter how hard it is, I should figure some ways to stop me from keeping using Internet.
