The computer makes doing schoolwork easier for me than it was for my mom and dad. For example, when writing book reports and stories, I use Microsoft Word instead of a pen and paper. That way, after my teacher checks my work, I can go back and correct the mistakes without having to rewrite the whole thing. And Microsoft Word has a spell check! I use it all the time.

　　For English class, we are reading The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton. As pre-reading homework, my English teacher asked us to do some research on the Internet. I tried Google first, and finally found a wonderful article on Time. com.

　　For geography homework on the United States, I used Yahoo to learn about the Mississippi River. I needed to find out how deep the river is, how its widths and depths are different, what states it runs through, and what kinds of fish live in it. I used the information to show how the geography of a country influences its economy(影响经济). For example, the number of fish caught in it and the tourists it attracts directly affect local people’s jobs and incomes.

　　I never go to the library to do research. It takes too much time. Since I live in New York City and both my parents work, getting to the library isn’t always easy. For a big research project, I used to stay at the library to read books or magazines that I needed. Now being able to find the information at home makes everything a lot easier and simpler(更简单). Online dictionaries and encyclopedias (百科全书) also save time.
