Cyberspace
Ⅰ
Cyberspace means the imagined space where electronic communication takes place across computer networks. Here, distance does not matter, as we can exchange messages in seconds anywhere through e-mail and access a large amount of information on the Internet. Cyberspace pushes human life beyond the old physical barriers of time and space. Here we can explore the world, make new friends, get information about travel, weather, or sports, buy new clothes or flowers, all without leaving home. Cyberspace has given us a new reality which is called a virtual reality: virtual community, virtual travel, and even virtual love.

Kelly, Jiang, and Sena are talking about their favorite Web sites. Look over their Web sites very carefully and find out what they can do on the Web sites. Present to your classmates some favorite Web sites of your own.
Hi, I’m Kelly. Have you ever bought anything on the Internet? It’s cheaper and more convenient. I don’t have to elbow my way through people and carry all the goods by myself. I love it.
Hello, I’m Jiang from China. I like sports very much. I enjoy watching games on the Internet. I don’t have to sit in front of the TV all the time. I can watch any game from all over the world.
Here’s one of my favorite sites from which I can get new information about sports games.
Hi, I am Sena. Let me show you one of my favorite Web sites. I can send every kind of card to friends, teachers, my parents, grandparents, and many others. There’re lots of different cards which I can choose. Why don’t you visit the site? You can also make your own cards on the Web site.
