Dear David,

I’m 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?                           No name                                                                               David writes: I’m 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’ll say that your article is very interesting and I wish you good luck.

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.

David writes: Well, dear moonlight, I think you made a good choice by using the Net in your self-studies. Two very good websites I’d suggest to you are:

www.britishcouncil.org.cn and www.britishcouncil.org.cn/learn.

     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 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!
