Good morning, class.

We know that there are many net bars around us. The Internet is popular and it makes our lives colourful. But some students spend too much time in playing computer games. Some stay in the net bars all day and all night. And some even get to have boyfriends or girlfriends online. They spend less time on study and do worse and worse in their lessons. I think we mustn’t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in holidays. Also, we should get online with our teachers or parents.

We can also go to the English Corner. It is a good place to practise talking in English. I hope we can spend more time on such activities and less time on the Internet.

Thank you for listening. That’s all.

_____________________________________________________________________________
