The Internet is becoming more and more popular in China, where 123 million users were counted by the end of June, second in the world only to the United States.
The fast growth of Internet has become a spotlight in China"s information and communications industries, said Vice Minister of Ministry of Information Industry Jiang Yaoping on Thursday.
Jiang spoke at a national meeting on Internet that the country"s increasing netizens prompted the rapid development of Internet related technologies in China.
The number of broadband users reached 77 million and there are currently 788000 websites in the country, according to Jiang.
Despite its second place in the world list, Internet penetration is actually relatively weak per capita in the country of 1.3 billion people.
Jiang said Internet has played an increasingly important role in promoting China"s economic development and improving people"s life quality.

The Popularity of Internet in China

According to the article, we know that China has a large number of netizens, which is only after the U.S. However, with the population of 1.3 billion, the penetration of the Internet is still not strong enough. But I believe it"s a matter of time for China to have the No. 1 netizens.
The popularity of Internet in China has many reasons. Firstly, Internet is more convenient to access, and the price is much lower than that years ago. The computer has come into most families in China. Secondly, the fast spread of tons of information on the Internet attracts both young people and senior people. Thirdly, the development of the related technology, such as the mobile phone, also contributes to the increase of Chinese Internet users. Last but not least, more and more companies, governments, and organizations around the world are using Internet to deal with their business and affairs.
Of course, the popularity of Internet also caused several problems, such as the indulgence in the online games. But we cannot deny the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. There"s no doubt that the trend will continue. [解析] 本篇文章的主题主要是网络时代的普及以及其带来的影响。在具体的写作中首先要对上面材料中提到的观点进行总结,并且表述自己认为网络流行的原因。文章可以不仅仅局限于此材料,也可以提及网络带来的危害,最后总结全文重申观点。
