For many people the language of the Internet is English. “World, Wide, Web: three English words”
was the name of the article by Michael Specter in the New York Times a few years ago. The article went on
to say: “If you want to take full advantage of the Internet, there is only one real way to do it: learn English.”
In general, it is not difficult to learn to use Internet services. But although Internet services are rather easy to
use, you will have considerable difficulties if you are not familiar with English. In fact, a good knowledge of
English is one of the most important aspects that help you use the Internet. Learning to use a new Internet
service may take a few hours, a few days or some weeks, but it takes years to learn a language so that you can
use it fluently and confidently. Of course, when you know some English, you can learn more just by using it
on the Internet. But at least your English should be good enough to understand commonly used words and to
know what to do on the Internet.
A. Choose True or False. ANSWERS

18. According to the article by Michael Specter, you should learn English to take full 17. _______
advantage of the Internet. _
19. Learning to use a language fluently and confidently may take a few weeks. 18. _______
20. Knowing English good enough helps you learn more on the Internet. _
B. Choose the most suitable item. 19. _______
21. The word “considerable” could be best replaced by which of the following? _
A. unimportant B. small C. little D. great 20. _______
22. Which sentence is TRUE? _
A. “World, Wide, Web” was the name of the New York Times a few years ago.
B. According to the article, Internet services are inaccessible.
C. It takes you only a few hours to learn how to use a new Internet service.
D. If you don’t know English, you can get access to the Internet services easily.
