HOW DO YOU USE THE INTERNET?
Quentin: I am doing a school project about sharks. I have found out lots of interesting facts about them. Did you know that they can smell a small drop of blood in water at a distance of 100 metres? The last time I logged on I ordered a book called Sharks in the Caribbean.
William: I am looking for a job and I've got an interview next week. So this morning I did some preparation. I searched some websites to find out about the company: what they do and what kind of place they are. It's good to be prepared.
Eileen: I often go away on business and in the evenings to relax I use an instant message service to contact people I know. It's great fun. You type your message and wait for the other person to reply. It's probably not suitable for work because it's not very private.
Rosanna: Before going away in summer, I like to use search engines to find out about destinations. I check the weather, transportation, hotels, places to visit and so on. I always organise everything myself because it is much more satisfying.
Teresa: I log on to the Internet almost every day of the year. I spend a lot of time looking at the stock markets, checking the value of my investments. I can buy or sell at the click of a mouse. This year has been a good year for me so far. I have done well - not fantastic but it all helps to pay the bills.
Terence: We've found that the Internet is the perfect place to showcase our talents. Customers come to us because we can do more than advertise, we `informise'. Not just customers either. Some of our best employees have applied to us after visiting our website.
