Is the Internet good or bad? by Wendy Hummel Teens cannot live without the Internet and spend most of their time on it. Is this a good thing?
The Internet is a useful tool. You can find information on any topic and use it for schoolwork and projects. Also, the
Internet helps communication. You can chat or send emails to your friends wherever they are.
On the other hand, the Internet can be harmful. If you spend too many hours online or in front of the screen, it can
damage your eyes. The Internet can also distract you from real life. You may avoid hanging out with your friends
or neglect your homework.
All in all, the Internet is helpful in learning and communications. However, teens must use it sensibly.

Peter was staying at a seaside hotel on holiday when he met his friend. While I was having lunch the sun came out again. Who was you talking to on the telephone when I came? When Mary reading the letter she noticed many spelling mistakes. She was going to bed when suddenly she saw a mouse. We were sitting down to dinner when the door bell rang. Mary’s grandfather hurted his back while he was digging in the vegetable garden yesterday. While he was sleepig, the doctor arriveed. What was she wearing when you saw her at the party? What was she wanting when she visited you yesterday? Somebody was knocking on the front door as I had breakfast. How much money were you spending last Christmas? My father gave me money and I spent it all in one day. Peter was not feeling very well, so he consulted his doctor. Where was you living this time last year? Peter was not looking at me as he was speaking. When the ambulance arrived the patient was sleeping like a child. I was reading when he called. They were waiting for the bus when I saw them. What was you doing when you saw them?

In 1608 an Englishman whose name was Thomas Coryate visited Italy. He liked the country and noted

down every interesting thing he found. But there was one thing which he found more interesting than

the others. In his diary Thomas wrote, “When the Italians eat meat, they use small forks. They don’t eat

with hands because, as they say , do not always have clean hands”.

Before leaving for England, Thomas Coryate bought a few forks.

At home Thomas gave a dinner party to show the invention to his friends. When the servant brought

the steak, he took out a fork and began to eat like they did in Italy.

Everybody looked at him in surprise. When he told his friends what it was, they all wanted to take a

good look at the strange thing. All his friends said that the Italians were very strange people because

the fork was very inconvenient.

Thomas Coryate tried to prove the opposite. He said it was not nice to eat with one’s fingers because

they were not always clean.

Everybody got angry at that . Did Mr. Coryate think that people inEngland always had dirty hands?

And weren’t the ten fingers they had enough for them?

Thomas Coryate wanted to show that it was very easy to use the fork. But the first piece of meat he

took with the fork fell to the floor. His friends began to laugh and he had to take the fork away.

Only fifty years later people in England began to use forks.

Объяснение:

В 1608 году Италию посетил англичанин по имени Томас Кориате. Ему понравилась эта страна и он отметил

вниз по всем интересным вещам, которые он нашел. Но была еще одна вещь, которая показалась ему более интересной, чем эта.

другие. В своем дневнике Томас писал: "когда итальянцы едят мясо, они используют маленькие вилки. Они ничего не едят

с руками ведь, как говорится, не всегда бывают чистые руки".

Перед отъездом в Англию Томас Кориат купил несколько вилок.

Дома Томас устроил званый обед, чтобы показать свое изобретение друзьям. Когда слуга принес

бифштекс он взял вилкой и начал есть, как это делают в Италии.

Все посмотрели на него с удивлением. Когда он рассказал своим друзьям, что это такое, они все захотели взять его с собой.

хорошенько посмотри на эту странную штуку. Все его друзья говорили, что итальянцы были очень странными людьми, потому что

вилка оказалась очень неудобной.

Томас Кориат пытался доказать обратное. Он сказал, что нехорошо есть пальцами, потому что

они не всегда были чистыми.

Все рассердились на это
