英语演讲稿：中学生该不该上网？

　　as everyone knows, people can get much information through the internet. meanwhile, people are also clearly aware of its disadvantages, but some children don’t realize they sometimes make friends with bad people online.

　　in my opinion, people can use the internet to make friends, download useful materials and go shopping online. it’s really very helpful. however, there are also many disadvantages about the internet. if you can’t use it correctly, it may be harmful to you. in junior middle school, i was once crazy about playing online games and i couldn’t control myself. as a result, my study results were getting from bad to worse. besides, if you believe whatever your friends say online, you will be cheated by them some day, i think.

　　as a student, we should spend more time on studying and less time on the internet. of course, if we can control our time of surfing the internet, we surely can use it after school.
