Internet has transformed our lives and the way we communicate, we learn, we work and spend our free time. In fact, it has more or less changed every aspect of human s
3、ociety.Boys and girls，please read the instructions and focus on the four pictures. Then try your best to think of information you know about each picture. Anyway, Ill give you a brief introduction first. (For example, “We are going to talk about how we use the Internet. Try to find how we can use th
4、e Internet and how the Internet can affect our lives.”)Picture 1What can people do on this website? What do we call this kind of website that provides searching services? (We call it search engine.)Do you know how to find information on the internet using a search engine?What search engines do you k
5、now or often use? Which is your favorite search engine? Picture 2Have you ever heard of shopping online or bought anything online? What is shopping online like? What do you think would be the advantages of buying things online? (As online shopkeepers do not have to pay for the rental of a real shop,
6、 the products sold on line are usually cheaper than those in real shops. It is easy and convenient to compare a product in several online shops. Paying for things is simple as you just key in the credit card number and confirm the payment online. The delivery is usually quick and the online shops pr
7、ovide delivery to your home. The most important thing is that shopping online saves a lot of time. )What do you think would be the disadvantages of online shopping? (Because people can only see pictures of the products online, sometimes you could receive something that was not what you really wanted
8、. The safety of the payment is not one hundred percent guaranteed as someone may steal the account numbers or pin numbers of your credit cards registered online. Also, some people falsely advertise products and then steal customers money. ) Picture 3Have you ever tried talking with your parents or f
9、riends online? What was it like? What devices do you need if you want to talk with people online? (A computer connected to the Internet, a web-camera, a web-microphone and web-talking software.)What are the good points and bad points of online talking? (There are many good things about online talkin
10、g. People can save a lot of money instead of paying for long-distance calls. People can keep in touch with family members or friends wherever they are in the world. There are negative things too. The quality of the pictures or voice depends on the speed of the network transfer. Many people talk with
11、 online friends without realizing that their pictures could be used by others in illegal ways. )Which way of communication do you prefer, talking face to face, talking over the telephone, talking online or talking online with a web-camera? Why? Picture 4Have you tried other online services that are
12、not mentioned here? Which ones? What other online services do you think we will need or have in the future?What role do you think the Internet will play in the future? Do you think it is a good idea to “live” on the Internet completely? Step 2: Sharing information1. To work in groups of four or to f
13、orm your own groups. Lets read the three questions under the pictures.2. Exchange your opinions and discuss the three questions among your group members. I want all of you to fully participate in the discussion and express your opinions freely. Then some of you are required to report your answers to
14、 the class. Remember it may be more interesting for groups to exchange and compare your answers.Sample answers 1. Yes, I like it very much. Normally I use it for checking e-mails, reading the most up-to-date news or talking with my friends. Recently, I registered in an online music course, which all
15、ows me to study music and listen to music online for free. I bought things online once or twice, but I rarely do it now because I am very concerned about my privacy and the safety of the activities. 2. Fast speed and easy access are the most important aspects of the Internet. Compared to the postal
16、system, e-mail is very fast because people can receive an e-mail instantly after it is sent instead of waiting several days for a letter. Also, with a wire that connects the computer with the Internet, people no longer need to queue to pay for things, to book tickets or to register for something. Th
17、ey only need to sit in front of the computer and key in their information. The Internet has made modern life very convenient. The Internet also has its negative aspects. As the Internet allows free flow of information, people sometimes find that there is too much information online that has not been
18、 proven to be true. To some extent, the Internet is becoming a place to spread rumors. In addition, the Internet helps the free spread and downloading of pictures, literature, music or films without acquiring the permission from the copyright holders, which is illegal. 3. The Internet will free peop
19、le from the offices every day. They can do their business online, including reading documents and have meetings. At that time, people will have more spare time and arrange their personal lives freely. Besides, every part of a home can be connected to the Internet, e.g., the fridge, the microwave ove
20、n or the bath, so that you can use the computer to pop online and control the electric devices at home when you are away. At that time, you can get home with food ready in the microwave and hot water ready in the bathroom. What used to be a great nuisance in the daily life will be just simply at one
21、 click of the mouse. Finally, the Internet will shorten the distance between people in different parts of the world. Free access to information will enable people to better understand the world they are living in. This will better protect the minority cultures and help people avoid culture shock. St
22、ep 3: Discussion:What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet?Sample answersWith the rapid development of Internet, it has been influencing our daily life tremendously. Internet has transformed our lives and the way we communicate, how we learn, how we work and spend free time. In fact,
23、 it has more or less changed every aspect of human society.We can benefit a lot from Internet. Firstly, it is more convenient than ever before. Internet has greatly shortened the distance among human beings. E-mail is much more efficient. To do some research work, we can search for relevant informat
24、ion on Internet without leaving our home. Secondly, we can reduce our cost greatly. We neednt spend lots of time and money in printing and posting. What we have to do now is just to send documents through Internet and it almost costs nothing.Although Internet has brought us many benefits, there can
25、be no denying that it has brought us many inconveniences, even harms as well. First of all, it is not safe on Internet. Maybe thousands of people are staring at you when you log onto Internet. Your private information, such as your account and password, is easy to be let out. On the other hand, with
26、 the sharply increasing amount of time spent on Internet, we are starting to lose ourselves, especially for those youngsters. We are getting more and more indifferent to people around us. The more we communicate, the lonelier we feel.However, Internet itself is neither right nor wrong. We can benefi
27、t from it and may also suffer from it. Nobody can hold back the step forward of Internet. If we resisted it, we would certainly lag behind other nations. What we should do is to take full use of its advantages and try to avoid the harms it may bring as well.Step 4: Homework:1. Collect more informati

Prepare the Reading part.Reading The effects of the Internet on our lives Step1: Lead-inNowadays, internet is playing an increasingly significant role in our society. Since its appearance, it has brought enormous changes to our lives. It seems that no one
29、can escape from the influence of it. As to whether it is a blessing or a curse, there is a long-running controversial debate. Some people think that increased use of the Internet leads to social isolation and depression. People who spend more time on the Internet spend less time socializing with pee

44、ur partner.For referenceThe Internet is a giant network of computers located all over the world that communicate with each other.The Internet is an international collection of computer networks that all understand a standard system of addresses and commands, connected together through backbone syste
45、ms. It was started in 1969, when the U.S. Department of Defence established a nationwide network to connect a handful of universities and contractors. The original idea was to increase computing capacity that could be shared by users in many locations and to find out what it would take for computer
46、networks to survive a nuclear war or other disaster by providing multiple paths between users. People on the ARPNET (as this nationwide network was originally called) quickly discovered that they could exchange messages and conduct electronic “conferences” with distant colleagues for purposes that h
47、ad nothing to do with the military industrial complex. If somebody else had something interesting stored on their computer, it was a simple matter to obtain a copy (assuming the owner did not protect it).Over the years, additional networks joined which added access to more and more computers. The fi
48、rst international connections, to Norway and England, were added in 1973. Today thousands of networks and millions of computers are connected to the Internet. It is growing so quickly that nobody can say exactly how many users “On the Net”.The Internet is the largest repository of information which
49、can provide very large network resources. The network resources can be divided into network facilities resources and network information resources. The network facilities resources provide us the ability of remote computation and communication. The network information resources provide us all kinds
50、of information services, such as science, education, business, history, law, art, and entertainment, etc.The goal of your use of the Internet is exchanging messages or obtaining information. What you need to know is that you can exchange message with other computers on the Internet and use your comp
51、uter as a remote terminal on distant computers. But the internal details of the link are less important, as long as it works. If you connect computers together on a network, each computer must have a unique address, which could be either a word or a number. For example, the address of Sams computer
52、could be Sam, or a number.The Internet is a huge interconnected system, but it uses just a handful of method to move data around. Until the recent explosion of public interest in the Internet, the vast majority of the computers on the Net use the Unix operating system. As a result, the standard Unix
53、 commands for certain Internet services have entered the online communitys languages as both nouns and verbs to describe the services themselves. Some of the services that the Internet can provide are: Mail, Remote use of another computer (Telnet), File Transfer (FTP), News, and Live conversation.Th
54、e most commonly used network service is electronic mail (E-mail), or simply as mail. Mail permits network users to send textual messages to each other. Computers and networks handle delivering the mail, so that communicating mail users do not have to handle details of delivery, and do not have to be
55、 present at the same time or place.The simplest way to access a file on another host is to copy it across the network to your local host. FTP can do this.Presently, a user with an account on any Internet machine can establish a live connection to any other machine on the Net from the terminal in his
56、 own office or laboratory. It is only necessary to use the Unix command that sets up a remote terminal connection (Telnet), followed by the address of the distant machine.Before you can use the Internet, you must choose a way to move data between the Internet and your PC. This link may be a high-spe
57、ed data communication circuit, a local area network (LAN), a telephone live or a radio channel. Most likely, you will use a Modem attached to your telephone line to talk to the Internet. Naturally, the quality of your Internet connection and service, like many other things in life, is dictated by th
58、e amount of money that you are willing to spend.Although all these services can well satisfy the needs of the users for information exchange, a definite requirement is needed for the users. Not only should the users know where the resources locates, but also he should know some operating commands co
59、ncerned to ease the searching burden of the users, recently some convenient searching tools appears, such as Gopher, WWW and Netscape.World wide web (www) is a networked hypertext protocol and user interface. It provides access to multiple services and documents like Gopher does but is more ambitiou
60、s in its method. A jump to other Internet service can be triggered by a mouse click on a hotlinked word, image, or icon on the Web page.As more and more systems join the Internet, and as more and more forms of information can be converted to digital form, the amount of stuff available to Internet us
61、ers continues to grow. At some points very soon after the nationwide (and later worldwide) Internet started to grow, people began to treat the Net as a community, with its own tradition and customs. For example, somebody would ask a question in a conference, and a complete stranger would send back a
62、n answer: after the same question were repeated several time by people who hadnt seen the original answers, somebody else gathered list of frequently asked questions and placed it where newcomers could find it.So we can say that the Internet is your PCs window to the rest of the world.2. Group work:
63、Undoubtedly, in the future, the Internet will still play a very important role in humans life. But theyll certainly be advanced than those of today. Lets work in groups and guess how we can use the Internet in the future. 3. Lets come to Part F. Work in pairs and share your opinions with each other.

123、mportant besides opinions? (Facts and figures)Now Ill present you a chart. Please look at it carefully and try to tell me what this chart can tell us. (The bar chart above shows the weight in kilograms of some fruit sold one day by a market. We can see that 52 kg of apples were sold, 40 kg of orange
124、s were sold, and 8 kg of star fruit were sold.) So, when listening, we need to be able to collect facts and figures, which are often presented in the form of charts and graphs. You are expected to learn some different types of graphs and charts that use bars, lines or circles to show information. .R
125、ead the guidelines in Skills building 1 on Page 42. Focus on how to understand different kinds of charts and graphs.Step 1: collecting information1. Pair work: Have a discussion with your partner: If you want to attend a series of lectures about the ways people watch or listen to the news, what shou
126、ld you pay special attention to? 2. Listen to the first speech and take notes in the space.Tapescript First speaker: We are here today to discuss the ways that people get their news. There are several main sources to which most people turn when they want to know what is happening in their local comm
127、unity, or around the world. They are newspapers, television (both local and national), radio and more recently, the Internet.The main point I would like to make is that there are different types of news, and that some are more easily found from certain sources. As examples, I will discuss sports res
128、ults, the weather, politics and local, national and international current affairs. Sports results do not change once the event is over. Fans do not often need or want to see pictures of the games; they simply want to know the scores. For this type of news, radio and newspapers are the most suitable.
129、 The weather, however, is something which changes all the times. Therefore, a place to get news which can be updated easily, like radio or the Internet, is the best choice. Politics involves many details, and people often want to understand them at their own speed. For this reason, places to get new
130、s that involve reading may be the bestnewspapers and the Internet. Current affairs can be covered in many ways, and what people choose often has to do with what type of news they want. For example, those who only want to know the top or most important stories will probably choose to watch television
131、 news programmes as they only include the most important news. Some people prefer a wider range of views, and would probably prefer the Internet or a newspaper. Other people who drive or travel long distances to work often dont have the time in the morning or evening to watch television or read a pa
132、per. They like to listen to radio news programmes while they travel to and from their offices. AnswersA (1) radio (2) to see pictures (3) to know scores (4) the Internet (5) changes (6) updated (7) newspaper (8) details (9) at their own speed (10) TV (11) important (12) wider (13) drive (14) watch T
133、V (15) read newspapers 3. Now, please go over the instructions in Part B and read the three sentences. Try to guess what the speech that you are going to listen to is about and what words will be used to complete these sentences before you listen to the recording. TapescriptFinal speaker: As the fin
134、al speaker here today, I would like to share with you some of the conclusions of our research. We wanted to know if the Internet would become the most popular source of news for people. We have found that although the Internet has become increasingly popular, the number of people who get news from t
135、he Internet compared to the radio or television is still small. While the Internet is a popular tool, it is still not as easily accessible as newspapers, television and the radio are, and due to the amount of uncontrolled information on the Internet, people do not always trust the news they find onl
136、ine. Please check the answers. AnswersB 1 accessible 2 uncontrolled 3 trust 4. Please read the instructions of Part C. Look at the bar chart and pay special attention to the legend, the side (y-axis) and the bottom (x-axis). 5. Please look at the pie chart and read the question and the legend and tr

Discussion in groups of four. Why 50 per cent of people trust the news sources from national TV and local TV, while only 7 per cent o
138、f people trust the news on the Internet. Skills building 2: forming more detailed questions 1. What we can do if we want to get more detailed information when we already know a little about a topic? (One of the ways is to ask more questions on this topic.)2. Read the guidelines and the three parts o
139、n page 44 and try to understand how to get more detailed information. Step 2: asking more detailed questionsNow, lets use the skills we just learned to get more detailed information. Suppose you need to ask one speaker his opinion on the situations that people gets news from the Internet. 1. Work in
140、dividually to think up and write down as many questions as you can to find more detailed information. You can consult the prompts in the left column on page 44.2. Work in pairs, one asks questions formed from the prompts in the left column, and the other answers these questions using the prompts in
141、the right column. After that, Id like you to present the questions and answers in front of the classroom.Sample answers1 Q: What is the most popular way to get news for people under 18 years old, people from 18 to 50 or people 50 and older?A: For people under 18, the most popular way to get news is
142、from television. People from 18 to 50 would most like to get news from newspapers as well as television while people over 50 prefer getting news by listening to the radio. 2 Q: What news source do you think is fastest growing? A: I think that Internet news is fastest growing. 3 Q: Who is the Interne
143、t mostly used by? A: The people between 15 and 40 years old, especially those who are university-educated. 4 Q: Is there any difference between where men and women get news? A: No, there isnt.5 Q: What do people think are the best Internet news sites? A: The ones that are linked to or are part of ma
144、jor TV networks. 6 Q: How can I know which Internet news sites to trust? A: You can look for supporting facts through cross-checking facts with other sites, especially the sites run by organizations you already know. 7 Q: The most popular way to get news is to read newspapers, but some people have s
145、witched to the Internet. Do you know why? What do you think are the problems with newspapers? A: I think it is mainly because newspapers are too big and most of them are messily printed. The most important reason I think is that news on the Internet is updated each hour while news in newspapers cann
146、ot be updated. 8 Q: Some people prefer television. Why do you think this is? A: I think people prefer television because they can see the most important and current news appear on TV withrealimages as fast as possible. 9 Q: Why do you think some people still prefer radio? A: These people can listen
147、to news while driving or doing housework at the same time. No time is wasted. 10 Q: Do you think that next generation will prefer Internet news more than any other news source? A: No, because computers are still too expensive for many people. I think TV and newspapers will still be most popular for
148、many years.Skills building 3: reporting on facts and figuresSometimes we need to write a report on certain topic. What shall we pay attention to when we write a report? For example, when you are asked to write a report on how the students in your class think they should spend their time, what should
149、 you include?1. Read the guidelines in this part to find out what are the two main things to focus on.2. Please read Part 1 and try to get how to state facts and opinions. Then try to tell us which of the following are facts and which are opinions.1) Computers are still too expensive for many people
150、. (fact)2) I think reading newspapers is the easiest way to get news. (opinion)3) You can not only seerealimages on TV but also hear them talk. (fact)4) News on the Internet is updated every hour. (fact)5) Some people consider Internet news to be unbelievable. (opinion)Step 3: e-mail a report As men
151、tioned above, you are expected to know how to express facts and opinions. Now, lets have a practice. Lets write a report using the information gathered in Steps 1 and 2 and e-mail it.1. First lets divided into small groups and then make an arrangement. Remember each member of the group should contri
152、bute to the planning of the outline of the report. You should pay special attention to in what position you should write the report and to whom you will write the report.2. Id like several students to read your e-mails to the class.Possible exampleDear Sir,I went to listen to two speeches about the
153、ways people get news. From the first speaker, I know there are different types of news, such as sports results, weather, politics and current affairs, and some of them are more suited to sources like radio, newspapers, and television. There is no doubt that the Internet is increasingly popular, but
154、the number of people who get their news from the Internet is still small. I have collected some figures from two charts, each of which is a survey of 500 people. According to the two charts, the percentage of people who turn first on the Internet for news on emergency, opinions, weather, breaking ne
155、ws and sports results is respectively only 2 per cent, 5 per cent, 5 per cent, 4 per cent and 5 per cent. However, for news on emergency and breaking news, the percentage of people who turn first to local TV comes to 53 per cent and 48 per cent. Why still people not turn first on the Internet to get
156、 news? The second speaker gave the following reasons: first, the Internet is still not accessible to everyone; second, information on it is often uncontrolled; third, people do not always trust the news online.Yours,(Your own name)Project Doing research on the Internet General introductionThis secti
