1 I don’t always get what I want?

3 I sometimes share my opinions with others?
Internet habits
We asked members of one family to tell us what they
use the Internet for and why. Here is what they told us.
A
Grandad Peter
I might be over 80 but the Internet is invaluable to
me. At my age it’s not always so easy to get about and
my friends and family are scattered all over the globe.
It’s difficult to visit and have face-to-face conversations
that often. It’s a bit pricy too! Phoning isn’t that
convenient because of the different time zones. I
don’t think my brother in Australia would appreciate
being woken up at three in the morning just for me
to say hello! So I keep in touch by email and it’s very
important to me. It took me a while to get the hang of
it but now it’s no problem at all.
B
Daughter Lynne
I must admit that I’m a spendaholic and I’m on
auction sites all the time. I can’t resist a bargain and I
love the excitement of bidding against other people
and never being sure whether you’re going to win or
not. It’s quite addictive so I have to be careful or else I
would be completely broke! I think it’s incredible that
whatever you’re looking to buy, someone out there has
got it to sell.
C
Mum Karen
I find the net useful for downloading information for
my students. You can also access sites that give you free
lesson plans and good, imaginative ideas for making
lessons interesting. There’s such a lot of knowledge out
there too. To get the answers to the kind of questions
I have, it would take hours with piles of books and I
simply don’t have the time. For me the net is a lifeline!
D
Dad Oliver
My big thing is news and sports and I’m always online
checking the latest scores. I work shifts too, so I often
miss the regular news slots and with the net I can
always watch news clips of programmes that were on
earlier. It also brings you breaking news and with the
more controversial issues if you want to, you can read
people’s comments and of course, make your own. I do
that quite often. And there are also online newspapers.
If I don’t get a paper, I can always go online and click
on to the newspapers website. It’s easier to choose
what you want to read rather than leafing through the
papers which can be so big these days.
4 it took time to work out how to use the net?
5 I use it to get help with my work?
