Section A: Quick Questions

A — The internet is a global network of networks.

B — One service that runs on the internet

A — Sending an email

A — the internet

B — A web browser

Section B: Match the Pairs

internet → The global network of networks that connects computers around the world

World Wide Web → One service on the internet made of web pages stored on web servers and viewed in a browser

Email, streaming and online games use the internet but are not part of the World Wide Web → internet -> email, streaming, games

A browser asks a web server for a web page across the internet → browser -> internet -> web server

The internet and the World Wide Web are exactly the same thing → The web is only one service that runs on the internet. The internet also carries email, streaming and online games.

If the World Wide Web is down, the whole internet stops working → The internet is the underlying network, so other services like email and games can keep working even if the web has a problem.

D — Web and email are services that use the internet. They are not the internet itself. The line should say 'uses internet'.

A — The internet is the global network of joined networks, not a single website. It should be 'joined networks'.

C — A browser opens a web address (URL) to get a web page. It should be browser.open(url), not url.open(browser).

B — A web server stores web pages such as 'home.html'. Email is a different internet service and is not a web page.

B — A keyboard is hardware, not something that uses the internet. It should be an internet use such as 'email'.
