Highlight the topic sentence of each paragraph.
The Internet is a fact of life in
today’s society. Most people have access to the Internet either at home, work
or school. They use it for shopping, finding out the news and downloading
music, or to communicate with their family and friends. Some people worry that
this technology impedes people’s communication skills, while others feel that
the Internet gives everyone greater opportunities to connect with people all
over the world. The Internet can have a negative impact on communication. One
reason for this is the amount of time some people spend online. Many teenagers
spend hour after hour in front of their computer, instead of mixing with
others. As a result, these young people may lack social skills. Another problem
is how people use the Internet. Playing computer games and surfing the net, for
example, are activities that require no social interaction. Using the Internet
in these ways would not improve your ability to communicate. On the other hand,
the Internet can be used for social interaction. E-mail, for instance, enables
people to correspond with each other quickly and conveniently. It is a much
better medium for communication than letters because it is instant. Therefore,
people can use it on a daily basis to keep in contact with family and friends.
MSN is another facility that aids communication. People can use this to send
messages back and forth. Recently, Skype has become popular. It allows you to
use your computer like a telephone to talk with anyone around the world. The
above-mentioned uses show that the Internet can be a useful communication tool.
In conclusion, although some people spend too much time doing uncommunicative
activities online, most people use the Internet to increase their opportunities
to interact with others. So, on the whole, the Internet is good for
communication.
