Speaking exercise

Original

I think the most important part ofĀ theĀ internet, is it can help me know more information about the world. In my life time, there are a lot of things which I don’t know before. Maybe thereĀ was no one to teach me, so I can check out anything on the internet. Because I work in a hospital, theres a lot of disease which I don’t know so I should check out on the internet. When I know a disease which I don’t know before on the internet and then it will show a lot of information about the disease and then I can know all the things about it.
