VI. Read the pasage and answer the questions
	The language of the Internet is English. “World, Wide, Web: Three English Words” was the name of an article by Michael Specter in the New York Times a few years ago. The article went on to say: “If we want to take full advantage of the Internet, we should learn English”
	In general, it is not difficult to learn to use Internet services. Although Internet services are rather easy to use, we will have considerable difficulties if we are not familiar with English. In fact, knowledge of English is one of the most important aspects that helps us use the Internet. Learning to use a new Internet service may take a few hours, a few days, or some weeks, but it takes years to learn a language so that we can use it fluently and confidently. Of course, when we know some English, we can learn more just by using it on the Internet. But at least our English should be good enough to understand commonly used words and to know that to do on the Internet.
Which language is the language of the Internet? 
What should we do to take full advantage of the Internet? 
How long does it take us to use a language fluently and confidently? 
Can we use Internet well if we don’t know English? No, we can’t
