That means in nowadays society, we have already can not live without the Internet. It became important part in our daily life. If we can use it quiet well, then it can also be the good tool in learning English. From this class, I hope I can learn those skills of using computer to surf the Internet through many ways to get any information I want and to assist students in learning foreign language. Besides, I consider this blog is my own space that I can share my own opinions and teaching experiences in any time. Everyone also can give me their comments and suggestions. That can help me to improve my way of teaching because I want to be better. All above are my goal in the future. I will let my goal come true.
