A for/against essay (formal) This world-wide computer network is believed to be essential in such a modern world like ours. Either you are traditional or trendier, you should acknowledge the great importance of the Internet despite the several disadvantages we can find about it. In the one hand, the Internet is a huge tool to look for information quickly because there are plenty of online dictionaries and encyclopaedias at hand. In addition, languages different from yours can be learned such as Chinese or aboriginal languages. What’s more, if you learned one language which can be attractive or interesting for you, you would even meet the native who speaks that language! Meeting people through social networks, applying for a job by e-mail or making yourself visible (for instance, publishing your own ideas or creations in a blog) are other functions that Internet has. In the other hand, surfing the web could also be dangerous considering that your private life is exposed; Facebook, Twitter or YouTube can be a fount of wisdom if we want to share ideas or news, but the risk is real! Moreover, the Internet can make you addicted to be always in front of your laptop or mobile phone, so there is a huge probability of developing an antisocial personality. Finally, plenty of fake news are often found there, therefore we must try to find the most trustworthy sources. In conclusion, not only looking for information or meeting people are good options to use the Internet properly but applying for a job or make your creations visible are also a great way to prove your network skills. Nevertheless, the Internet can be misleading considering that people may steal your own identity or upload some fake news.
