My topic today is the internet. It was prompted   by the first letter, which I am unable to answer fully for the reasons given! Dear David, I am a middle school student. Now I am preparing for a writing competition. Could you  please check the mistakes in my article about using the Internet and give me some advice? Thank you.                                                       No name David writes: I am very sorry to say that I think it would be very unfair for me to help you win a competition-- unfair to the other competitors! But I will say that your article is very interesting and I wish you good luck. Your article  makes some good points that deserve talking about in this column! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear David, I'm now learning English by myself. Can you introduce some useful websites where I can  make friends with foreigners? Please help me.                                                       moonlight David writes: Well, dear moonlight, I bet you made a good choice by using the Net in your self-studies. Two very good websites I would suggest to you are:     www.britishcouncil.org.cnandwww.britishcouncil.org/learnenglish. By the way, for those readers interested in the teaching of English, there is an Internet  discussion group called ELTCSChi-L (English Language Teaching Contacts Scheme prefix = st1 /China List). And also, a healthy warning to all my readers: If over-used, the Internet can be a WOMBAT-A Waste of Money, Brains and Time!  www.britishcouncil.org.cn is a (an)   _  .
