cosmetics, toys, clothes, tickets, etc. We can get any information we want through it. We can talk with other people through it. We can enjoy new movies. But some students spend a lot of time playing on-line games. Some watch dirty movies, and dirty pictures through it. These are bad for us. We should control ourselves. Even Bill Gates limits hi s daughters computer time to 45 minutes a day.

As we all know, the Olympic Games will be held in Beijing in 2008. People from all ove r the world will come to Beijing. Chinese people are friendly and kind.
