Student’s FCE Article Answer:

The Internet: A Great Invention

The Internet has changed the way we live. It started as something that we could access only through
a computer, but nowadays it is everywhere, and I love it!

One of the cool things about the world wide web is that you can look up anything you want and find
out the answer straight away. Isn’t that fantastic? For example, imagine you are arguing with your
friends about how to do something. Easy solution! Go online and find the answer.

However, the greatest thing about the Internet is how you can learn tons of things very cheaply or
even for free! In fact, my favourite website is www.udemy.com,where people register to teach and
learn about different things: music, website design, making apps, history, etc. So I totally
recommend it to everyone!

In conclusion, the Internet has a lot of great things. For me, the best are finding information and
learning online. What about you? What are your favourite things about it?
