Opinion essay

     There are a lot of types of the volunteering around the world. Volunteers help elderly, teach homeless children etc. I  think that all young people should try to volunteer to do something good for other people or our enviroment. 
     Firstly, volunteering would benefit young people in the future. The advantage of it can be different in some types of volunteering. Other reason is making our world better. If everyone do something good 

 

Internet

I'd like to tell you some words about Internet. Nowadays, Internet become more and more popular. Why? Because, firstly, in Internet you can find a lot of information about all things that you can see around the world. Secondly, you can watch different videos and films, read books and play computer games. The last reason is social networks, where you can start communicating with new friends.
Also, Internet can helps students with studing, for example, if you don't know how to do your homework, you can find how to do it in Internet.
But there are some dangers in the Internet, like viruses, that can broke your computer or phone. You can avoid it if you won't download everything on all websights. Also, you need to have special antivirus program to prevent it.

Dear Ben,
Thank you for the last letter.
I think children should help their parents with the housework, because it will help them in future. Most children don't like, for example, washing dishes, but in future they will do it every day. If doing housework don't really let studing, its nessesary.
Second reason is merger of children and parents during doing housework. For example, when family cooks together it's really merger of children and parents.

Third reason is that parents will have more free time to relax.

I clean my room, wash the dishes, sometimes cook easy dishes, etc.

At free time I watch films and read books.

Oh, my mother wait me. We are going to clean rooms.
Write me.
