From the chart we can ee clearly that the number of Internet urfer in our country ha increaed from 26。5 million in July 2001 to 45。8 million in July 2002， and then to 59。1 million in January 2003。
In my mind， the reaon why the Internet urfer are on the rie are a follow。 Firt， the Internet can help u accomplih many tak， including both work and playearching for information ha become more convenient than ever， and afe online buine i no longer a dream。 Beide， urfing the Internet i becoming cheaper and cheapermore and more people can afford it。
The negative effect of the Internet are alo clear。 To begin with， itting too long before the computer i harmful to our body， epecially our eye。 Second， more and more people become indulged in playing video game or chatting online， which are time—conuming。
All in all， I hould ay the advantage outweigh the diadvantage。 The key lie in whether we can make good ue of it to enhance both work and tudy。
