Don't be addicted to the Internet

My classmates in China just had a one-month winter holiday in celebration of the Spring Festival. The QQ group (a kind of chatting room) of my class in high school suddenly became active since the holiday began. Much to my surprise, I noticed that the monitor of my class kept talking about an online game every day from morning to night. I was astonished because in my impression he was such a hard-working student that he would study whenever it was possible. When I talked with my friend about our monitor’s unbelievable change, we both appreciated that we were not that interested in the Internet for the moment since we had played computers too much in the past.

From my perspective, the Internet closely resembles the dreams in the movie Inception(盗梦空间), both of which are fantastic and colourful. What’s more, we can do things that we cannot even imagine in real life, which is the same as in dreams. Consequently, their similarities lead to the same result that it is easy to get lost. However, just as dreams, no matter how fantastic the Internet is, no matter how colourful, it can never be real life and it can never replace the reality. Therefore, when we surf the Internet attentively, it is more advisable to keep in mind that there are things that are more important for us to pursue and they are things we can never afford to lose.

    Although it is colorful and attractive, and do could make us relaxed from our heavy daily life ,sometimes we could learn nothing from it .We just spend a lot of time on it and keep our mind thinking about it .
    In brief ,the Internet is just a tool for us all .We need to make the most use of it to help us lead an effective life ,but do not be controlled by it,or lost on it.
