反方一辩：

Internet plays a very important role in modern life. It has revolutionized our lives in many ways as the affirmative side described. However, it is the innovative change of the Internet era that Pandora’s box is opened at the same time. a virtual world Internet provides, in which persons surfing on the Internet don’t know each other, they just identify others’ identification through online login account so that it is lack of basic trust relationship because all you know is only his/her e-mail or QQ number and you should not blindly believe in the Internet. While more and more people lose themselves in online games, which is not only waste of money but also waste of time. some feel lost without the internet like a man without a soul, a slave to the internet. others even have an addiction problem to the internet to the extent of medical treatment. In addition, long-term online all day to autism and

indulge in fantasy from reality leads to the state when they really face society and the crowd, because of distance and imagine the problems are not normal shrinking, communicating with people!

Moreover, parents nowadays, have been worried about what their kids read and see on-line because of pornography or violent scene being full of Internet, and these teenage will go out in real life and function. Consequently, Internet is gradually eroded their physical and mental health. Even worse, some bad gangs make use of the Internet to steal others’ privacy information, damage and control other people’s computer system to launch malicious attack suck as DoS, Trojan horse and so on. All of the above statements prove that Internet has done more harm than good to society.

二、自由辩论阶段

正方1：Our viewpoint is “Internet does more advantages than harm”. The spreading speed of traditional books, newspapers and magazines is so slow. With the developing of the Internet, people can get plenty of information from the networks quickly and conveniently, and they feel the world become much smaller. For example, we knew the exact news from Internet about the earthquake in WenChuan several minutes after its happening. And the popular word “earth village” can support our opinion, too.

反方1：Excuse me, I can’t agree with you. I think Internet do more harm than good. Although we can get information quickly on Internet .But it also brings new problems. For example many Publishing Company went bankrupt, and Many people lost their jobs. At the same time, the

copyright status is very bad in China. There is a joke: a young man to Microsoft interview, he answer the interviewer a question and he was driven out .because the interviewer asked him Do you know the price of Microsoft operate system in China? The young man asked: 5 yuan. Is this good to you?

正方2：Although the Internet makes some industries closed down, but it has also produced some new industries. The defenders only see the Internet makes some people lose jobs, but do not see the Internet gives more people new jobs, so the defender's point of view is one-sided. With the development of Internet, the communication between people is more easily, we can communicate with others through a lot of ways provided by the Internet, such as QQ, EMAIL, chat room, and so on.

反方2：Please note, you confuse a basic concept, the distance between people is to rely on people themselves to decide, ever not the network. The network is changing people 's way of communication. In the absence of the Internet era, we still can narrow the distance between people, therefore, it cannot be said that the Internet has shortened the distance between people. On the contrary, people put too much effort and emotion in the Internet, reduced face-to-face communication with the family, friends, colleagues, so that the distance between two hearts increased, it makes people become distant.

正方3：In addition to the front view of our partners , I think the Internet has created a new way of life. Chat online, checking information online, learning online, or even work online , people can complete many things

remain indoors, which is impossible previously. SOHO is now a very popular word, it means Small Office and Home Office. This makes it reality for people to choose the way of life and work according to their own interest and hobbies, without limitation of time and place.

反方3：I’m sorry, I don’t agree with you. I feel the Internet can help us to do many thing, at the same time, people become more and more lazy ,more and more weaker, even lost the joy of living. Please look me, my weight is 130 pounds 2 years ago, now I spend much time on Internet, so I am overweight and become weak.

正方4：Mr. Yan, I have to say, your point of view is very creative! But, I think the weight problems are not necessarily lined with the popularity of the network! One of the biggest benefits of the Internet is accelerating the flow of information and spreading education to all corners of the globe. Now there are a lot of searching engines on the Internet, such as Google and Baidu, we can get whatever information we want within only several seconds. Just like an old saying: Xiucai knows everything under the Heaven though he needs not to leave his home.

反方4：The other debater please note, you only see the benefits of the Internet, and ignored the existence of a large number of bad information on the Internet, the information has a very bad influence on people, especially teenagers, and even cause them to crime. According to statistics, more than 80% of the minor crime is related to exposure of bad information in the network, some minor to indulge in violence, pornographic games, the game scenes to life, by the game of seduction

and lead to crime.

正方5：I must remind the other side debaters. It is because of the high speed developing of networks that the adults pay more attention to the young criminals quickly and adopt efficient measures. Is it not the advantage of the Internet? Let’s think about the invention and using of knife, it has an analogy to the Internet.

反方5：Excuse me, I oppose, you change the focus. I think There is a More severe problem. Please note the remarks of Anti-social and Pseudo-science on Internet. not only young man ,but also adults are affected. It is very dangerous to all and to our country. Do you can talk the advantage of Internet standing here?

正方6：When we were young, parents and teacher often told us: Pick up the good and throw away the bad. But now, you are not only staring at the bad, but also exaggerating it, It’s wrong! Very wrong! I would also say, Internet is just like a bridge of communicating between people. It’s a great way to meet up with people of similar interest and discuss common issues, saving both money and time.

反方6：Please note, we have already explained, this will only increase the distance between people. In the real world, interpersonal relations become weak. After all, the Internet is only a small part of human life, people are to be living in the real world, the weak relationships, people feel more and more lonely, because friends only exist on the Internet, in real life, there is no real friends.

正方7：This is just a social problem, not the wrong of Internet itself. So we don't need to discuss it. I want to describe another big advantage of the Internet. It is that the Internet makes the electronic commerce vigorous developed. Now, more and more shops run online, and more and more people like online shopping, it brings great convenience to us. For example, I've just bought a pair of leather shoes from the Internet last week, it is 30% cheaper than the same products in entity stores, besides, it also saves a large amount of shopping time for me.

反方7：The Internet is convenient, But please note the Internet is unsafe. hacker, computer virus, Trojan, network fishing and so on, It will make the Internet become very terrible. we may have cheated, lost money, even lost privacy. A newspaper report: A company with millions of assets went backrupt, because a young man used the leak of the network. And I believe you remember the movie star CHEN Guan Xi, his personal photos were for all to see. The Internet is too unsafe.

正方8：Although there are secure problems on Internet, but we can adopt many technique methods to solve them. Another benefit the Internet brings is entertainment. You can find many ways to amuse yourself. Watching online movies, playing online games, and talking in chat room can help you relax. Furthermore, you can make friends with many fun and kind people all over the world.

反方8：Yes, now the entertainment network is very developed, leads to more problems. More and more young people indulging in online

entertainment, the network has great dependence, even morbid. The Internet makes young people confuse the virtual world and the real world, influences the young people moral standard of judgment. At the same time, the network game had a bad influence to young people's mental health, learning, life, make them fat, decreased performance, decreased visual acuity, even can't write with a pen.

正方9：Please pay attention once again, what you talked about is not the wrong of Internet itself, it is the problem of its users. And it is just the development of online entertainment that have enriched our life, and made large contribution to the state GDP.

反方9：I’m sorry, I also please you note. The violent and pornographic scene are often appear in the online games. It constantly hurt the soul of young people, make them become depressed. We all know, The young people are enthusiastic, Dynamic and Positive, they are main power of develop of country. thus It is not only the problem of family, but also the problem of the society. So let’s far away from the Internet, and make the children become well, make the society become civilized.

正方10：I found a very interesting phenomenon. We have list many benefits internet bring to us, but you refute all of these through the problems of people, not the problems of internet itself. So we still firmly hold that, the benefits of the internet are much greater than the negative impacts.

反方10：Excuse me, you ignore the harm of the Internet. It is very

dangerous!

三、总结陈词阶段 反方四辩：

Generally speaking, the internet is a double-edged sword. Like a coin have two side, the good side and the bad side, yes, it really improvement our life in some aspect, but isn’t all.

The internet brought a lot of bother with negative thing. And we don’t have the method for solve. Such as the network deceive, divulge privacy, too much bad information, and so on. and the most important ,We can’t be 100% to eliminate those problems, at least not yet. So the internet is not Perfect world ,We should not expect too much on the Internet.

As we all know, the birth of the Internet causes, not used to enrich people's lives, but to service the military field, so, I think it is very suitable for the application in the military, enterprises, companies, departments and other areas like that. Although it can be applied to the daily life of ordinary people, it still has limitations. As the nuclear weapon, action is huge, but people must find a way to control it, or just opened a Pandora's box, the devil will be released. So, the most important is how we using the Internet in our life, rather than the Internet itself. if we know what we need clearly and how to take advantage of internet responsibly. I am sure it will affect our modern life in a positive way and make our life more wonderful and splendid.

正方四辩：

Ladies and Gentlemen, Good morning!

We are so happy and lucky, for we live inthe information age with rapidly developed technology. And the Internet is a sign of the times. We are sure that the Internet must do more good than harm!

First of all, the Internethas brought us great benefits. As our partners have said, the Internet can accelerate the information query, narrow the world, and make the communication of people more convenient. Despite of shopping online, learning online，and message delivery, even the debate today, we’ve collected a lot of information on Internet. The Internethas opened for us a convenient way, enriched our life, andacceleratedthe progress of our society.

Secondly, everything has two sides, so does the Internet. As the defenders stated, The Internet has some drawbacks while it brings us convenience. But the harm of Internet, strictly speaking, is the wrong of people. Some people usethe benefits of Internet to commit a crime, spread the bad information, while other people use the net unhealthily, indulging in Internet game, wasting too much time in Internet. But all of these are not wrong for Internet itself, but for the people who use it. And It is just like a knife, initially created in order to solve some problems in life, but someone use it to murder, while the knife is not wrong in itself.

Thirdly, the good of Internet must be more thanitsharm.If not, perhaps the Internet has died out in its development. If Internet does more harm than good,it must be disgusted by people. Could the number of people in our country using Internet will be more than one hundred million? If Internetcan do more harm than good, sosmart as the United

States, will it vote heavily in the construction of theInternet?

Finally, the harm of the Internetcan be completely avoided. As long as we strengthen the network protection, many security problems can be avoided;and if don't loss prevention and alert for some small profits in the Internet,we can reducethe chance of being deceived. At the same time, we have to control the time of being online to keep health, the relevant departments should also strengthen the management of the Internet, control the spreading of harmful information, so that the Internetruns in a healthy environment.

As Lu Xun had said, when the windows open,In not only the fresh air, but also the flies and mosquitoes. Let's expand the good of Internet, reduce its harm, and make the Internet be our good teacher and friend! Thank you!
