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.

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.

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,
