Henry: I find the Internet is very good for shopping. I use it more and more for buying books and CDs, and I even bought some clothes over the Internet. The other thing I can do is to reserve holidays over the Internet. I reserved a cheap flight once, it was very easy, and it was really good.

David: I use the Internet for games. I play chess with people all round the world. Last night I had a game with someone from Japan. I also download games from the Internet, so I can have any game Internet I want.

Peter: I use the Internet for anything I need to help me with my school work. I use the online dictionaries, encyclopedias( 百 科 全 书 ) and magazines. It’s great because I can download pictures or articles and use them with my homework. It’s very easy to use and it’s free, so I like it.

Tony: Well, the main thing I use the Internet for is to email. I usually write to my customers by email, too. We probably send and receive four or five hundred emails a month.
