When was the last time you used the Internet? Most likely, it was just recently! And you, 1) probably sent emails, not letters, right?
In the early days of the Internet in the 1970s and 80s, it was in fact only used by scientists and military 2) researchers, but in the 1990s its 3) popularity flared up like they had never seen before. To show it to everyone, it took 38 years on the radio until it reaches 50 million 4) users, 13 years on television and only 5 more years on the Internet!
Many of us already use the Internet to make phone calls, watch movies, buy music and watch television programs. Very soon, the Internet will become 3D, not 2D, and everything from our cars to our kitchen utensils will be connected to our local network. There is already an Internet refrigerator, for example, it sends 5) an order to a local supermarket and checks the schedule for a convenient time 6) delivery!
However, not everyone has access to technology. In fact, only 17% 7) the world's population is connected to the network. This figure depends on where you live, although in North America the number is about 70%. In addition, about 80% of all websites are in English, which many people in the world do not speak. However, governments and IT 8) institutions are making every effort to bridge this gap, so perhaps in the not too distant future, the Internet will truly take over the whole world!
<span><span>My Favourite ShopМой любимый магазин</span>My name is Helen and I’m 13 years old. I study at the 7th grade of a state secondary school. My family is comparatively small. It’s just me, my parents and our pets. We have two pets: a cat Sally and a hamster Alex. At weekends I often go shopping with my parents. We visit the nearest hypermarket and some other stores in the same building. This hypermarket, which is called “Lenta”, is my favourite shop, because we can find all the necessary things in one place. We buy fresh food, presents, stationery, household appliances and many other items there. We don’t even need to go to the bakery or grocery, as everything can be found in this huge shop. At first sight it reminds a large storage of vital items. Last week we bought swimming suits and sandals for the beach holiday. We also bought a new vacuum-cleaner, as the old one broke down. As you see, hypermarket offers a wide range of products. My parents say that there weren’t any supermarkets and hypermarkets in their childhood. They had to go to several places to buy various products. In my opinion, such stores are simply indispensablein each city or town. They have lots of advantages. First of all, you can buy everything you need at one place. Secondly, hypermarkets often offer discounts or sales opportunities. Thirdly, I like the shopping carts in hypermarkets. They are of great help when we buy lots of things. In the same building there is an exchange booth, a chemist’s, a dry-cleaner’s and a travel agency. In case we have heavy bags, we call a taxi to come and pick us up. </span><span>Меня зовут Елена и мне 13 лет. Я учусь в 7 классе средней общеобразовательной школы. Моя семья сравнительно небольшая. В ней всего лишь я, мои родители и наши домашние животные. У нас есть два питомца: кошка Салли и хомяк Алекс. В выходные я часто хожу по магазинам со своими родителями. Мы посещаем ближайший гипермаркет и некоторые другие магазины в том же здании. Этот гипермаркет под названием «Лента» мой любимый магазин, потому что мы в нем можно найти все необходимые вещи сразу. Мы покупаем там свежие продукты, подарки, канцелярские принадлежности, бытовую технику и многие другие предметы. Нам даже не нужно отдельно ходить в пекарню или бакалею, так как все можно найти в этом огромном магазине. На первый взгляд он напоминает большое хранилище жизненно-необходимых предметов. На прошлой неделе мы купили там купальники и сандалии для пляжного отдыха. Мы также купили новый пылесос, так как старый сломался. Как видите, гипермаркет предлагает широкий ассортимент продукции. Мои родители говорят, что в их детстве не было супермаркетов или гипермаркетов. Они должны были ходить в несколько мест, чтобы купить различные продукты. На мой взгляд, такие магазины просто необходимы в каждом городе или населенном пункте. У них уйма преимуществ. Прежде всего, вы можете купить все, что нужно в одном месте. Во-вторых, гипермаркеты часто встречаются распродажи и выгодные скидки. В-третьих, мне нравятся тележки в гипермаркетах. Они особенно полезны, когда мы покупаем много продуктов. В этом же здании есть обменный пункт, аптека, химчистка и туристическое агентство. Когда у нас очень тяжелые сумки, мы вызываем такси.</span>
