In the past, without the widespread presence of the Internet, people made use of printed materials for information. However, the Internet apparently wires in every corner of the world by now. Hence, most information now is referenced from the Internet, which I am totally in favor of. This essay will explore the reasons for my choice.

To begin with, searching for information from the Internet is less time-consuming than from books and articles. It is because of the introduction of searching engines, which allow the exploration of millions of data. All users have to do is to type down the questions that they feel dubious, and all sorts of answers emerge at the click of a button. For example, when an Internet user asks for "How to say hello in English", the searching engine on the Internet will reply with thousands answers on the dot. Compared to the printed one, it is far faster. On using books, readers have to look up the content and spend time looking for the pages. For this reason, it would take at least several minutes to do the book-searching procedures.

Secondly, the Internet can provide more sufficient answers than the other can. The Internet is dominated by billions of people. Among these people, there are possibly thousands of experts coming from different fields. So, when someone proposes a question, it can be answered by different experts. Consequently, the response to the question may possibly never get inaccurate. Meanwhile, the author who writes a book, whose authority on their subject might be profound, can make a mistake. But, since he authorizes the book by himself, the mistake will surely be overlooked. A classic case in point for this is the recently published result from the findings from Harvard University. It has pointed out clearly that nearly 75% of the book contains some erroneous details, while the Internet only publishes 20% false information. Finally, the finding constitutes a conclusion that the reliability of the Internet overwhelms that of the printed material.

In the final analysis, the Internet is a worthier source of reference for researching than the other one. Therefore, we should appreciate the essence of the Internet for researching purpose because the Internet are not sure to be here to stay.

- However, the Internet apparently wires in every corner of the world by now. => is ultilized ( wire là ngoại động từ, nghĩa của nó cũng k phù hợp trong trường hợp này) 

To begin with, (không academic) searching for information from the Internet is less time-consuming than from books and articles => is more transient than...

It is because of the introduction of searching engines, which allow the exploration of millions of data.=> bỏ dấu ',' 

 All users have to do is to type down the questions that they feel dubious, => What all users have to do is..

with thousands answers => with thousands of answers  on the dot . => immediately (vì on the dot là thành ngữ, k mang tính formal cho essay) 

So, when someone proposes a question, it can be answered by different experts. => không dùng 'so' nối hai câu khác nhau trong bài viết essay. => therefore, tương tự cũng k dùng but nối hai câu khác nhau

Book lovers believe that reading habit is beneficial for their imagination as well as language skills. I have recently read a book called 'The Salmon', written by Ahn Do Hyun. This book has suceeded in araising my excitement for its unique plot. The central character in the story is quite different - the only completely silver salmon in a shoal of fish whose darker colored backs. Silver Salmon wants to break away from the confines and conformity of the shoal and achieve something on his own. The tale promotes individualism superior to the communal approach. Besides, it teaches us about circle of life, the need to care for environment and that the easy way is not necessarily the best way. This book reminds me of a bedtime story, one to be shared from generation to generation.
