My name is Zhu Fei and I am speaking in favour of the Internet-I believe that the Internet has positive effects on our lives．There are two main points which must be included when we analyse the Internet．The first is its value for people （61） ______ ． 那些正在寻找信息的人．The second is our ability to relate to others through the Internet．
（62） ______ ． 当人们需要信息的时候，from the news and weather forecasts to travel packages and academic research，the Internet is now the first source they turn to．（63） ______ ． With the touch of a button or the click of a mouse，a student will find abundant information from the largest libraries and museums in the world at his or her command．A recent survey conducted in the USA shows that 80 per cent of Internet users employ it mostly to search for answers to questions．The second most common use of the Internet，for 79 per cent of Internet users，is to find out information about hobbies．（64） ______ ． These statistics prove that gathering information is the primary use for the Internet．
Another truly wonderful aspect of the Internet is the way people use it to build social bonds．One of the greatest benefits of Internet friendships is that they are based on common interests，rather than appearance or age．（65） ______ ． Without the Internet．these people would have fewer avenues to meet people．For these reasons，I believe the Internet is a positive tool that helps make our lives better．
