2、nternet and design a poster Procedures ● Welcome to the unit With the rapid development of Internet, it has been influencing our daily life tremendously. Internet has transformed our lives and the way we communicate, we learn, we work and spend our free time. In fact, it has more or less change

3、d every aspect of human society. Boys and girls，please read the instructions and focus on the four pictures. Then try your best to think of information you know about each picture. Anyway, I’ll give you a brief introduction first. (For example, “We are going to talk about how we use the Internet.

4、Try to find how we can use the Internet and how the Internet can affect our lives.”) Picture 1 What can people do on this website? What do we call this kind of website that provides searching services? (We call it search engine.) Do you know how to find information on the internet using a search

5、 engine? What search engines do you know or often use? Which is your favorite search engine? Picture 2 Have you ever heard of shopping online or bought anything online? What is shopping online like? What do you think would be the advantages of buying things online? (As online shopkeepers do no

6、t have to pay for the rental of a real shop, the products sold on line are usually cheaper than those in real shops. It is easy and convenient to compare a product in several online shops. Paying for things is simple as you just key in the credit card number and confirm the payment online. The deliv

7、ery is usually quick and the online shops provide delivery to your home. The most important thing is that shopping online saves a lot of time. ) What do you think would be the disadvantages of online shopping? (Because people can only see pictures of the products online, sometimes you could receive

8、 something that was not what you really wanted. The safety of the payment is not one hundred percent guaranteed as someone may steal the account numbers or pin numbers of your credit cards registered online. Also, some people falsely advertise products and then steal customers’ money. ) Picture 3

9、Have you ever tried talking with your parents or friends online? What was it like? What devices do you need if you want to talk with people online? (A computer connected to the Internet, a web-camera, a web-microphone and web-talking software.) What are the good points and bad points of online tal

10、king? (There are many good things about online talking. People can save a lot of money instead of paying for long-distance calls. People can keep in touch with family members or friends wherever they are in the world. There are negative things too. The quality of the pictures or voice depends on the

11、 speed of the network transfer. Many people talk with online friends without realizing that their pictures could be used by others in illegal ways. ) Which way of communication do you prefer, talking face to face, talking over the telephone, talking online or talking online with a web-camera? Why?

12、 Picture 4 Have you tried other online services that are not mentioned here? Which ones? What other online services do you think we will need or have in the future? What role do you think the Internet will play in the future? Do you think it is a good idea to “l(fā)ive” on the Internet completely?

13、Step 2: Sharing information 1. To work in groups of four or to form your own groups. Let’s read the three questions under the pictures. 2. Exchange your opinions and discuss the three questions among your group members. I want all of you to fully participate in the discussion and express your opin

14、ions freely. Then some of you are required to report your answers to the class. Remember it may be more interesting for groups to exchange and compare your answers. Sample answers 1. Yes, I like it very much. Normally I use it for checking e-mails, reading the most up-to-date news or talking with

15、my friends. Recently, I registered in an online music course, which allows me to study music and listen to music online for free. I bought things online once or twice, but I rarely do it now because I am very concerned about my privacy and the safety of the activities. 2. Fast speed and easy access

16、 are the most important aspects of the Internet. Compared to the postal system, e-mail is very fast because people can receive an e-mail instantly after it is sent instead of waiting several days for a letter. Also, with a wire that connects the computer with the Internet, people no longer need to q

17、ueue to pay for things, to book tickets or to register for something. They only need to sit in front of the computer and key in their information. The Internet has made modern life very convenient. The Internet also has its negative aspects. As the Internet allows free flow of information, people so

18、metimes find that there is too much information online that has not been proven to be true. To some extent, the Internet is becoming a place to spread rumors. In addition, the Internet helps the free spread and downloading of pictures, literature, music or films without acquiring the permission from

19、 the copyright holders, which is illegal. 3. The Internet will free people from the offices every day. They can do their business online, including reading documents and have meetings. At that time, people will have more spare time and arrange their personal lives freely. Besides, every part of a h

20、ome can be connected to the Internet, e.g., the fridge, the microwave oven or the bath, so that you can use the computer to pop online and control the electric devices at home when you are away. At that time, you can get home with food ready in the microwave and hot water ready in the bathroom. What

21、 used to be a great nuisance in the daily life will be just simply at one click of the mouse. Finally, the Internet will shorten the distance between people in different parts of the world. Free access to information will enable people to better understand the world they are living in. This will bet

22、ter protect the minority cultures and help people avoid culture shock. Step 3: Discussion: What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet? Sample answers With the rapid development of Internet, it has been influencing our daily life tremendously. Internet has transformed our lives an

23、d the way we communicate, how we learn, how we work and spend free time. In fact, it has more or less changed every aspect of human society. We can benefit a lot from Internet. Firstly, it is more convenient than ever before. Internet has greatly shortened the distance among human beings. E-mail i

24、s much more efficient. To do some research work, we can search for relevant information on Internet without leaving our home. Secondly, we can reduce our cost greatly. We needn’t spend lots of time and money in printing and posting. What we have to do now is just to send documents through Internet a

25、nd it almost costs nothing. Although Internet has brought us many benefits, there can be no denying that it has brought us many inconveniences, even harms as well. First of all, it is not safe on Internet. Maybe thousands of people are staring at you when you log onto Internet. Your private inform

26、ation, such as your account and password, is easy to be let out. On the other hand, with the sharply increasing amount of time spent on Internet, we are starting to lose ourselves, especially for those youngsters. We are getting more and more indifferent to people around us. The more we communicate,

27、 the lonelier we feel. However, Internet itself is neither right nor wrong. We can benefit from it and may also suffer from it. Nobody can hold back the step forward of Internet. If we resisted it, we would certainly lag behind other nations. What we should do is to take full use of its advantages

28、 and try to avoid the harms it may bring as well. Step 4: Homework: 1. Collect more information about the development of the Internet. 2. Prepare the Reading part. Reading The effects of the Internet on our lives Step1: Lead-in Nowadays, internet is playing an increasingly significant role

29、in our society. Since its appearance, it has brought enormous changes to our lives. It seems that no one can escape from the influence of it. As to whether it is a blessing or a curse, there is a long-running controversial debate. Some people think that increased use of the Internet leads to social

30、isolation and depression. People who spend more time on the Internet spend less time socializing with peers, communicate less within the family and feel more lonely and depressed. Have a discussion about the good and bad effects of the Internet in group. Try to fill in the table below: The effe

47、he Internet is a giant network of computers located all over the world that communicate with each other. The Internet is an international collection of computer networks that all understand a standard system of addresses and commands, connected together through backbone systems. It was started in 1

48、969, when the U.S. Department of Defence established a nationwide network to connect a handful of universities and contractors. The original idea was to increase computing capacity that could be shared by users in many locations and to find out what it would take for computer networks to survive a n

49、uclear war or other disaster by providing multiple paths between users. People on the ARPNET (as this nationwide network was originally called) quickly discovered that they could exchange messages and conduct electronic “conferences” with distant colleagues for purposes that had nothing to do with t

50、he military industrial complex. If somebody else had something interesting stored on their computer, it was a simple matter to obtain a copy (assuming the owner did not protect it). 　　Over the years, additional networks joined which added access to more and more computers. The first international c

51、onnections, to Norway and England, were added in 1973. Today thousands of networks and millions of computers are connected to the Internet. It is growing so quickly that nobody can say exactly how many users “On the Net”. 　　The Internet is the largest repository of information which can provide ver

52、y large network resources. The network resources can be divided into network facilities resources and network information resources. The network facilities resources provide us the ability of remote computation and communication. The network information resources provide us all kinds of information

53、services, such as science, education, business, history, law, art, and entertainment, etc. 　　The goal of your use of the Internet is exchanging messages or obtaining information. What you need to know is that you can exchange message with other computers on the Internet and use your computer as a r

54、emote terminal on distant computers. But the internal details of the link are less important, as long as it works. If you connect computers together on a network, each computer must have a unique address, which could be either a word or a number. For example, the address of Sam’s computer could be S

55、am, or a number. 　　The Internet is a huge interconnected system, but it uses just a handful of method to move data around. Until the recent explosion of public interest in the Internet, the vast majority of the computers on the Net use the Unix operating system. As a result, the standard Unix comma

56、nds for certain Internet services have entered the online community's languages as both nouns and verbs to describe the services themselves. Some of the services that the Internet can provide are: Mail, Remote use of another computer (Telnet), File Transfer (FTP), News, and Live conversation. 　　The

57、 most commonly used network service is electronic mail (E-mail), or simply as mail. Mail permits network users to send textual messages to each other. Computers and networks handle delivering the mail, so that communicating mail users do not have to handle details of delivery, and do not have to be

58、present at the same time or place. 　　The simplest way to access a file on another host is to copy it across the network to your local host. FTP can do this. 　　Presently, a user with an account on any Internet machine can establish a live connection to any other machine on the Net from the terminal

59、 in his own office or laboratory. It is only necessary to use the Unix command that sets up a remote terminal connection (Telnet), followed by the address of the distant machine. 　　Before you can use the Internet, you must choose a way to move data between the Internet and your PC. This link may be

60、 a high-speed data communication circuit, a local area network (LAN), a telephone live or a radio channel. Most likely, you will use a Modem attached to your telephone line to talk to the Internet. Naturally, the quality of your Internet connection and service, like many other things in life, is dic

61、tated by the amount of money that you are willing to spend. Although all these services can well satisfy the needs of the users for information exchange, a definite requirement is needed for the users. Not only should the users know where the resources locates, but also he should know some operatin

62、g commands concerned to ease the searching burden of the users, recently some convenient searching tools appears, such as Gopher, WWW and Netscape. 　　World wide web (www) is a networked hypertext protocol and user interface. It provides access to multiple services and documents like Gopher does but

63、 is more ambitious in its method. A jump to other Internet service can be triggered by a mouse click on a "hotlinked" word, image, or icon on the Web page. 　　As more and more systems join the Internet, and as more and more forms of information can be converted to digital form, the amount of stuff a

64、vailable to Internet users continues to grow. At some points very soon after the nationwide (and later worldwide) Internet started to grow, people began to treat the Net as a community, with its own tradition and customs. For example, somebody would ask a question in a conference, and a complete str

65、anger would send back an answer: after the same question were repeated several time by people who hadn’t seen the original answers, somebody else gathered list of? "frequently asked questions" and placed it where newcomers could find it. 　　So we can say that the Internet is your PC’s window to the

66、rest of the world. 2. Group work: Undoubtedly, in the future, the Internet will still play a very important role in human’s life. But they’ll certainly be advanced than those of today. Let’s work in groups and guess how we can use the Internet in the future. 3. Let’s come to Part F. Work in pairs and share your opinions with each other. 4. Discussion: Does the Internet do us good or bad? Step 5: Language points: Vocabulary Words positive, analysis, value, affair, forecast, package, click
