Understand the web, search effectively and write a clear email.
The internet connects computers around the world; the web is one service that runs on it.
- Distinguish the internet from the web.
- Use search terms effectively.
- Write a polite, clear email.
Internet and Web
The internet is the global network of connected computers. The World Wide Web is the collection of websites accessed through browsers. Email, messaging and video calls also use the internet but are not the web.
Searching Well
Use specific keywords, put a phrase in quotation marks for an exact match, and check more than one source. Prefer official and educational sites.
A good email has a clear subject, a short greeting, one purpose per message, and a polite closing. Proofread before sending.
