to so much information on just about any topic with just a few clicks yes and not just that the internet has also made communication so much easier and convenient that's right whether it's through social media email or video calls we can now communicate with people from all around the world without any hassle and with the rise of e-commerce shopping has become so much easier and more accessible yes we can now shop from the comfort of our own homes and have anything delivered right to our doorstep and let's not forget about the impact the internet has
had on education with online courses and resources learning has become more accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds definitely the internet has also opened up a world of opportunities for businesses to reach a wider audience and expand globally that's right and with the rise of online marketplaces small businesses can now compete with larger ones on a More Level Playing Field all in all the internet has provided us with endless opportunities for growth and development in so many different areas it truly is a game Cher that's true my dear friend there is no doubt you
know Robin there are so many other advantages of the internet that we haven't talked about yet absolutely Ronica one of the biggest advantages is the ability to work remotely or from home yes remote jobs have become increasingly popular in recent years and the internet has played a huge role in making that possible and let's not forget about the entertainment aspect with streaming services like Netflix and you have access to a wide range of movies TV shows and other content that's right and the internet has also made it easier for us to collaborate with others regardless
of where they are in the world we can now collaborate with others in real time all thanks to the internet and of course social networking is another huge Advantage we can now connect with people from all over the world and share our thoughts ideas and experiences absolutely and the internet has also made our lives more convenient in so many ways we can now do things like online banking ordering groceries and booking travel all from the comfort of our own homes all in all the internet has had an incredible impact on our lives and it's hard
to imagine what life would be like without it while we've talked about the many benefits of the Internet it's also important to acknowledge some of the drawbacks that's right Ronica one of the biggest concerns is security with so much personal information being shared online there's always a risk of that information being stolen or misused and privacy is another big issue we often don't realize how much of our personal information is being collected and shared without our knowledge or consent cyber bullying is another major concern with so much communication happening online it's easy for people to
hide behind anonymity and say hurtful things to others and then there's the issue of addiction with so many things to do and see online it's easy to get sucked into spending hours on the internet every day and let's not forget about the problem of fake news with so much information being shared online it can be hard to distinguish fact from fiction health is another concern spending too much time on the internet can lead to problems like eye strain headaches and poor posture and then there's the issue of hacking with so much valuable information being stored
online there's always a risk of of that information being stolen by hackers lastly there's the problem of time wastage it's easy to lose track of time when we're browsing the internet and that can lead to us neglecting other important things in our lives all of these are valid concerns and we need to be aware of them and take steps to mitigate them as much as possible hey Robin I wanted to ask you about something that's been on my mind lately do you think grammar is important for speaking English fluently that's an interesting question Ronica I
think it depends on what you mean by important of course having good grammar can make it easier for people to understand you but I don't think it's always necessary to speak perfect English in order to communicate [Music] effectively I see what you mean but don't you think that using incorrect grammar can make you sound uneducated or unintelligent not necessarily I think it's more about how you use language to express yourself even if you make some grammatical errors you can still convey your thoughts and ideas clearly if you choose the right words and phrases hm that's
a good point but isn't it also true that some people judge you based on your grammar like if you're trying to get a job or meet new people they might think less of you if you don't speak perfect English unfortunately that can be true in some situations but I think it's important to remember that not everyone has had the same opportunities to learn and practice English and it's not fair to judge someone's intelligence or worth based solely on their grammar skills I totally agree with you Robin I think it's more important to focus on being
kind and understanding towards people regardless of their language abilities exactly and if you're someone who wants to improve your grammar skills there are plenty of resources out there to help you but it's important to remember that your worth as a person isn't defined by your ability to speak perfect English thanks for talking with me about this Robin you've given me a lot to think about here is some words for you if you don't know please learn the words it's crucial to know enough English words convenient expand acknowledge drawbacks [Music] sucked
