4) Dangers and the benefits of the internet on children

Nowadays, the internet is one of the necessary things in daily life. I'm going to write about usage of the internet by children. Of course, not only has it benefits, but dangers also.
       
     Benefits:
1) Actually, childhood is a period when a child is interested in everything. Any child always has a lot of questions, it tries to find explanations of things that surround him. In this case, the internet is one of the easiest ways to find answers. You can easily find any information. By this way, child broadens its outlook expressing his/her own opinion. Moreover, you can download videos, music, pictures etc.

2) The internet is the best way of communicating with people who are far from you. For example, children can communicate with their parents, grandparents and other relatives, if they live separately. New technologies let us communicate with people directly, i mean by chatting, calling or talking through the webcam. It's very cheap, because of wide prevalence.

3) Some people consider that it is better to play computer (online) games than walk the whole day. As far as they are concerned, exactly because of that, chidren tak up using drugs and alcohol baverages.

     Dangers:

1) As a matter of fact, computer has radiation which effects on vision - reduces it. It's one of the most important problems amongst children all over the world. They can spend a lot of time using the internet, because they can't control themselves.

2) There are a lot of online games. They were made to attract children's attention. They have such a quality of images and good graphity that creates an imppression of reality. This kind of games involve children very much. Because of that, children become to forget to have dinner when they come after school, they stop doing their home assignments, they spend lots of time playing online games etc.
Once I read about one boy who was totally engaged by the online game. He had been played the game  for 2 days. he even ate in front of computer. He died. the doctor who observed him said that hi didn't any motion seating in front of computer, and the heart stopped beating.

3) Children can find in the internet network such things that will have influence on their psychology badly. They can visit links that are prohibited  for children, it just envokes children's interest...

3) Mouse vs Touch Screen

Nowadays, computer is considered as on the necessary attributes in modern life. We use computers in order to make life easier, moreover it saves our private time. For example, it helps us to solve logical tasks; we can store, transmit and manipulate large amounts of information that is only possible with computer technology; through the computer we can easily communicate with people from any point of the world without having difficulties like it was some years ago, when people sent paper letters. Etc…

Today, a usual computer consists of two parts: soft ware and hardware.

     Software is a set of instructions, called a program, which tells a computer what to do

     Hardware is any electronic or mechanical part of the computer system that you can see or touch.  

           There are three basic hardware sections:

1)     1) The CPU

2)    2) The main memory

3)    3) Peripherals. They include:

-          Input devices (keyboard and mouse, touch screen)

-          Output devices (monitor and printer)

-          Storage devices (hard disks and CD/DVD-R drivers)

Now I’m going to write about MOUSE and TOUCH SCREEN.

Both of them are used for moving a cursor (or pointer) and select items on the display, but they are very different in using.

                

            MOUSE is hand held device that is connected to the computer by the USB-cable.  Mouse was invented earlier than Touch Screen, that’s why most of people prefer to use the mouse rather than the touch screen.

But, there are some disadvantages of using Mouse:

-          For using mouse you need smooth surface that is enough big (especially it’s hard when you are using mouse in the train or car )

-          Mice are being sold separately from the computer

-          By the time, it’s getting dirty. You can disassemble it for cleaning or washing, but for assembling you need glue

 TOUCH SCREEN is an electronic display that reacts on your touching (finger, hand). It’s easier in using, because you interact directly with what is displayed, rather than indirectly with a pointer controlled by a mouse. Moreover, it needn’t any extra devices for inputting that would to be held in the hand. Such displays can be attached to the computers.

               

             But, there are some disadvantages:

-          It requires a lot of energy

-          There is no tactile feedback

-          Touch screen is usually very thin, so even with the slight being damaged, it can stop working at all.

-          Hasn’t protection from being frozen  

In conclusion, I can say that mouse is getting less useful in inventing new types of modern computers. Anyway you will face with the Touch Screen, and you will have to use it!     

2) My first impression in the IELTE

          Frequently, young people are faced with difficult choosing the future profession. They are given the questions how much is important a chosen profession, where work students of definite University, whether they can find themselves in life and of course you expect a lot of results after much effort, serious preparation and hard work.
          Entered the IELTE it was pleasant to immerse in atmosphere of psychological comfort, friendliness and harmonious relationships between teachers and students. At the same time you notice the strong orders, requirements. We must follow the system of rules. For example we must keep English in the IELTE building. It’s not always comfortable, but it is a good opportunity to develop your English speech.
          I hope that in IELTE I will learn a lot of new skills which will help me in future job. It is very important to get a good education because nowadays there are a big competition to land a job. I will do my best to learn English and will try to use my knowledge reasonably.  Valihkan, 1A
