Tasks for students online

Teenagers and The Internet

    Modern teenagers can’t imagine their life without using the Internet. Some investigations show that about eighty per cent of youth have a computer at home.

    Almost all teenagers have the access to the Internet. Unfortunately, not everybody uses computers for studying. Many use modern technologies only for entertainment.

    Still, there are some who do different tasks while being online. Many like to prepare exciting reports or projects for their lessons at school or university.

    I’d like to add that some teens have foreign penfriends or e-mail friends from different countries and they exchange letters or e-mails. Certainly, it is really helpful for mastering a foreign language.
