问题     We live in an age of information explosion and with a few clicks we can get access to an incredibly rich store of information. But some people frown upon this convenience. They argue that the Internet is setting us apart, because we now tend to communicate with each other digitally, instead of meeting in person. Do you agree that people are set apart by the Internet? Write an essay of about 400 words. You should supply an appropriate title for your essay.

答案                     The Internet: Connecting People
    The information age has been an irreversible trend that sweeps across the globe. Thanks to the Internet, people are linked with each other in an unprecedentedly epic scale. Despite the legitimate concern that people might be set apart by the Internet, I am convinced that interpersonal relationship is able to be enhanced by the Internet.
    First of all, the Internet enables people, despite different localities, to communicate as if they were sitting next to each other. Imagine a scenario where a son is studying in America, while his parents are living in China. A century ago, they would endure months for the exchange of information via posts. A quarter of century ago, they would wait anxiously for the phone call to get through. Now, however, with the help of online chatting tools, they can ease themselves into a comfortable position and enjoy chitchat to the fullest without time limitation. Because of the Internet, the family bond is strengthened, without the fear of the missed letters or high fee of international calls.
    What is more, the availability of the Internet allows us to express and share our feelings, thoughts and ideas instantaneously. On online social networks, such as Facebook and Sina micro blog, we are connected to more friends than ever before. If you are angry with the bad service in a restaurant or overjoyed by an amusing film, you simply tweet your feelings and your friends can immediately share the anger or the fun with you. You don’t have to reserve your emotion and save it until the tea party scheduled on a Saturday afternoon. Such instant interaction is surely very convenient and helps to strengthen the friendship.
    Last but not least, the Internet not only ties friends closer, but also promotes communication between people of differing cultures and beliefs. With the advent of online communities, users can exchange their thought with a particular group of people, meet like-minded people, and make new friends. Through conversing with people from various geographic locations, users become more tolerant of different ideologies, which helps to reduce friction in social occasions.
    To conclude, the Internet does bring people closer together as it bridges distance in a stronger way than the previous mail and phone call, provides an effective instant communicative platform and narrows the gaps between our hearts.
