Hello, everyone, my name is XXX. The topic of my speech is the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet. The use of the Internet has become one of the most controversial topics in society. As a senior high school student, I believe that the benefits of the Internet outweigh its harm. There are many advantages to using the Internet. First of all, I can make full use of my time to find information online instead of going to different libraries. In addition, this information can be traced back decades. It is very helpful to use that information as reference and historical proof. It is difficult to find so much "old" information in the library. Another advantage of using the Internet is that I can stay at home and listen to lectures online. This is more convenient for me, because I can stay warm in class in winter, instead of spending two hours on the bus and going to class in person. Besides, the Internet provides me with a better way to communicate with my friends and teachers. I can get a reply from my teacher in a few minutes instead of waiting outside his door for hours. Besides, whenever I have a question, I can send an email to my teacher. I don't need to meet my teacher at school to ask questions. Some of my friends live abroad, so I can email him at any time and hear from him soon. This is much better than waiting for a letter. In addition, e-mail will not be lost, while letters may be lost during delivery. However, using the Internet also has disadvantages. For example, I may spend too much time online and can't concentrate on my studies. In addition, security has become another focus, because identity theft steals your information and uses it. This is very dangerous. Finally, there is a lot of information on the Internet, both beneficial and harmful. There may be too many temptations, and I will access some harmful information that I can get on the Internet. Although the use of the Internet has both positive and negative effects on me, I still think the Internet is a symbol of technological development. I believe that as long as I know how to control myself, I can use the Internet well.
I modified it myself ~ I added the characteristics of the school ~ so I was impressed.
