Internet
People now talk about a new word: “Internet”. It is a kind of network which combines many subnetworks or computers together. Here, “inter-” means “go-between”; “-net” means “network”.
Internet is supposed to be an effective① means of communication. In a world full of various information as ours, Internet tells us some ideas about many happenings, local, national and even international. People can even see each other and talk to each other through Internet.
Internet has been part of many young people’s daily life. Youth are liable② to accept the new things or ideas. So they regard going into the “Internet” as a kind of life style. Through it, they do shopping, chat with each other and make friends or even send the letters which are called “E-mail”. Indeed, it is almost impossible to each other for them to get away from the Internet in their everyday life.
【注释】
①effective：有效的
②liable：易患的；易于
【点评】
本文是一篇根据段首句提示展开的议论文。作文的论题是“Internet”（互联网）。我们应从Internet是一项有效的交际工具“an effective means of communication”和成为年轻人生活中的一部分“part of young people’s daily life”这两方面来阐述Internet这一论题。
本篇作文题材贴近生活。第一段先引人Internet的概念即一种连接子网或计算机的网络：“a kind of network which…”，并用构词法知识来解释Internet的词汇意义。第二段根据段首句的提示写Internet的优点——有效的交际工具：了解时事、进行交流等等。第三段指出互联网已成为年轻人日常生活的一部分，他们可以运用“Internet”做许多事情：购物、聊天、交友甚至发电子邮件“E-mail”等等。
本文采用总一分一分的结构，第二段和第三段都是支持段，支持说明第一段的论点，并且主要论述Internet的特点和应用。行文时，整篇文章收敛于一字标题“Internet”之下，主题鲜明、错落有致、互补性较强。
