.Which website? How often? On a daily basis
.News articles, different sections, different categories:clear headlines
.Cool design: colorful, well-organized, trendy, easy to use
.I personalized it: weather+horoscope+instant access to my emails
.Search engine (like Goggle) to search for info
I get on the Internet pretty much every day, and the website I visit most is Yahoo China. Actually I chose cn.yahoo.com. as my homepage so that I can get access to the web page directly every time I go online.
I usually surf this webpage in order to read the news. I usually click on the sports link to obtain articles related to the NBA or soccer. The articles are arranged in different categories. I can quickly find out about the national or international news, business issues or entertainment headlines.
I like Yahoo because the website is very clear and colorful. The design of the page is well-organized. It is easy to grasp the information at once. You don't need to skim or scroll down the page to find what you are looking for. I would describe this website as efficient, precise and trendy. It is divided into different sections like the news, the most popular searches, job offers, and
online shopping or traveling tips:very convenient!
I have personalized my webpage so that it can inform me about the weather, my horoscope and whether or not I have received new emails. I created a Yahoo email account three years ago, and I use it very often to communicate with friends and relatives.
Finally, Yahoo can be used exactly like Google as a search engine. It is very practical when I need to do some research for my studies.There is an empty bar they call a search bar at the top of the page, and you can type in whatever you want to know and as soon as you press "Enter", you will get your results instantly. In this way you can get access to millions of pictures, articles or reports.
1.How has the Internet influenced communication in daily life?
Well, nowadays a lot of people use the Internet to communicate with their friends or colleagues on a daily basis.We all use an Instant Messenger program called QQ in China. It's the equivalent of(=it's similar to) a Chinese version of MSN. You can chat online with any of your contacts as long as they are signed on.It's very convenient because it's free, unlike talking on the phone, and you can talk to many different people at once. In addition, many people use email to keep in touch with friends who live far away or to communicate with colleagues or customers. On top of this, it's also a great way to send documents to one another. The only problem is that all these communication tools don't encourage people to go out and socialize in real life.
