Realization of meaning
T: Before we start
working with the text, I suggest you should work with the table. Write down the
information (phrases, word combinations) you already know about Internet
addiction in the first column and what you want to find out. You may use
the dictionaries on the table. Firstly, do it on your own, then peep into your
neighbour’s notes. 3 minutes for you.
Let’s discuss the
results. (writing down the ideas on the blackboard)
Internet addiction (addict, to be addicted
to the Internet) = online/Net obsession
NEW VOCABULARY.
T: Read aloud some new words after me. (the words in
bold in the text)
And now take these texts
and while reading fill in the third column “have found out”. 8 minutes for you.
Start working on your own and then discuss the results with your partner.
Internet
Addiction (article)
Last week, in a private rehabilitation
clinic outside Edinburgh, Leo Edwards, a
sixteen-year-old schoolboy, was going through severe
withdrawal symptoms. His body often shook violently and uncontrollably,
and at mealtimes he regularly threw cups and plates around
the dining room. The boy's addiction was not connected with alcohol,
drugs, gambling or food. His problem was 'Net obsession'— an
over-dependency on the Internet.
An international group of
psychologists has found out that anyone who surfs the Internet
for long periods is ill and needs medical treatment. According
to their report, Internet addicts should be treated as alcoholics,
drug addicts, gamblers and people with eating disorders.
Leo Edwards is not an only case. Russell
Hopkins, aged fifteen, from Gateshead in north-east England, is a typical online
addict.
Every day after school, and after dinner
until three or four in the morning, you can find him in his room surfing the
Net or playing computer games. By the end of the day he spends more than six
hours online. Of course, his parents are extremely worried. Firstly, his
school work suffers, but Russell's addiction has also effected his
social life and his free-time activities. For example, he has just
dropped out of his school's basketball team to spend more time at his
computer. Instead of spending a good time out with his friends, he spends it indoors
surfing the Internet.
Russell has recently joined an
Internet online support group. Dr Ann Hoffman, who has an online support
group, says, "People don't realise that spending online for more than
four hours a day causes this serious problems, it is especially serious
for children and teens as they have weak psychological mentality. I
predict that the number of people who join online support groups will have
risen dramatically in three years."
