　　【范文】

　　From the chart we can see clearly that the number of Internet surfers in our country has increased 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 reasons why the Internet surfers are on the rise are as follows. First, the Internet can help us accomplish many tasks, including both work and play—searching for information has become more convenient than ever, and safe online business is no longer a dream. Besides, surfing the Internet is becoming cheaper and cheaper—more and more people can afford it.

　　The negative effects of the Internet are also clear. To begin with, sitting too long before the computers is harmful to our body, especially our eyes. Second, more and more people become indulged in playing video games or chatting online, which are time-consuming.

　　All in all, I should say the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. The key lies in whether we can make good use of it to enhance both work and study.

　　【點評】

　　首段敘述從2001年至2003年我國上網用戶總人數的變化趨勢。第二段分兩方面給出其中的原因：首先是因特網方便快捷、作用巨大;其次是費用降低。第三段分兩個方面指出面臨的困難和問題：首先是上網時間過長有害健康;其次是有些人上網玩游戲、聊天，這都是不好的習慣。第四段做總結：第一句指出利大于弊;第二句說關鍵在于好好利用因特網。

　　第二段首句中的in my mind意思是“依我看，在我看來”;第三段中的be harmful to意為“對……有傷害”，become indulged in意思是“沉迷于”，time-consuming是“浪費時間”的意思;最后一段首句中的outweigh意為“比……重要”。
