THE SYMPTOMS OF INTERNET ADDICTION
A. An international group of psychologists has recently suggested that anyone who surfs the Internet for long period is clinically ill and needs medical treatment.
According to their report, Internet addicts should be treated in the same way as alcoholics, drug addicts, compulsive gamblers and people with eating disorders.
B. Understandably, his parents are extremely worried. Not only has his school work suffered, but Russel’s addiction has also destroyed his social life and his spare-time interests. For instance, he has just dropped out of his school’s basketball team in order to spend more time at his computer.
C. Instead of spending next weekend having a good time out with friends, he’ll be spending it indoors surfing the Internet. Russel has recently joined an Internet online support group. It may seem ironic that many of the support groups for the Internet addicts are online but at least Russel has sought help. Not everyone does.
D. Last week, in a private rehabilitation clinic outside Edinburgh, Loe Edwards, a sixteen-year-old schoolboy, was going through severe withdrawal symptoms. His body often shook violently and uncontrollably, and at mealtimes he regularly threw cups and plates around the dining room.
The boy’s addiction had nothing to do with alcohol, drugs, gambling or food. His problem was “Net obsession” – an over-dependency on the Internet.
E. Dr Ann Hoffman, who runs an online support groups, says, ‘People don’t realize that being online for more than four hours a day amounts to addiction and that they have a serious problem. I predict that the number of people who join online support groups will have risen dramatically within three years’.
F. Leo Edwards is not an isolated case. Russel Hopkins, aged fifteen, from Gateshead in northeast England, is a typical online addict. Every day after school dinner until three or four in the morning, he will be found in his room surfing the Net or playing computer games. By the end of the day he will have spent more than six hours online.

THE INTERNET: HERE TO STAY
Most people today cannot imagine their life without the Internet.
I believe it is one of the most important innovations. Thanks to the worldwide web, our lives have become easier and more exciting.
First of all, the Internet helps us find information easily. For example, we can read the news and find answers to the questions 24 hours a day.
In addition, we can use the Internet for entertainment. We can send e-mails to friends and shop online. We can even listen to the latest music and watch live sporting events from other parts of the world.
However, some people argue that the Internet has a negative effect on society. Internet users become less sociable. They stay at home most of the day instead of going out to shop, work and meet friends.
In my opinion, the Internet has more advantages than disadvantages. Our lives are better with it and I hope it is here to stay.
