Learning objectives
Predict text content from the title and headlines, and use this strategy to improve reading comprehension.
Analyze the structure of the text, understanding how examples (Jan’s story) support the theme of the Internet’s impact.
Understand the concept of the “digital divide” and its impact on society, as well as the efforts (like Jan’s) to bridge this gap.
Appreciate the social responsibility reflected in the text, such as using the Internet to help others (teaching older people, starting charity websites) and the cultural value of mutual support in the digital age.

Pre-Reading

Step 3 : Careful reading(para.1)
Much has been written about the wonders of the World Wide Web. There are countless articles telling us how the Internet has made our lives more convenient. We no longer have to wait in line or carry cash around when we go shopping. We can get the most updated information from large databases. We can download software, documents, and images whenever we need them. But the Internet has done much more for people than simply make life more convenient. People's lives have
been changed by online communities and social networks.

Step 3 : Careful reading(para.2)
Jan Tchamani, an English teacher in Birmingham, UK, suddenly developed a serious illness and had to quit her job. At age 50, she found herself out of work and stuck at home with only her computer to keep her company. After a while, she discovered that surfing the Internet could help her feel less Lonely and bored. She could listen to music, watch films, play games, and explore the world. She also joined an online group where she could talk about her problems and get support and advice from others. She realised that one of the greatest benefits of the Internet was its ability to remove the distance that usually exists between people.

Step 3 : Careful reading(para.3)
She was so inspired by the people she met online that she decided to start an IT club to teach older people how to use computers and the Internet. She and her friends now organise events and collect money to pay for private teachers. Many people have been helped by the club. A 59-year-old man learnt how to apply for work online and found a great job. Now that he works and can take care of himself, his daughter has time to study at university. A 61-year-old woman who was living alone has started a small online company together with two friends. She no longer feels lonely, and her company has become quite successful.
