1. I think Jan is very helpful because she makes use of the Internet to help a lot of people in need and make the society better.
Jan’s life has been greatly improved by the Internet. “when you go through tough times, you meet others who are facing similar challenges.” Jan says. “Thinking about other people’s situation inspired me to offer help.”
Critical thinking:
1. What kind of person do you think Jan is
2. What can we learn from Jan’s experience
2. We learn that when we go through tough times, we can find help and support from other people online. We also learn that we can feel less lonely by creating or joining communities on the Internet, and that we can even use the Internet to achieve our goals.
