Research

2. Choose three of the websites to check the information in Exercise 1. Then write notes about two of these things:- her childhood and family background - her studies and travels - her entry into politics- her fight for freedom1) http://www.infoplease.com/biography/var/aungsansuukyi.html 2) http://www.pitara.com/magazine/people/online.asp?story=353) http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aung_San_Suu_Kyi4) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aung_San_Suu_Kyi5) http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/1991/kyi-bio.html CHOICES UPPER INTERMEDIATE

TIPS: It is easier to search using the English version of Google. Look for Google.com in English at the bottom of each Google search page. When you want to find basic information about a person using Google, put their name in quotation marks and add other words:Nelson Mandela + very short/brief biography or Nelson Mandela + quick facts/ information

TIPS: When evaluating websites in English to get information, think about: The level of language. Websites for young people or simplified websites can have more accessible language (e.g. simple Wikipedia). Pictures and photos can also help. The amount of information. Depending on the kind and amount of information you need you should use different types of websites (e.g. for basic information = simple websites). The organisation of the websites. Is it easy to find the contents? Are there summaries of information? Is there a search facility (usually at the top right-hand side of the page)? Reliability. Is the information up to date? Is it from a reliable source (e.g. a well-known encyclopaedia or non-governmental organisation)? Does it give further reference or links?

3. Evaluate the three websites you used. Which of the websites:

was the easiest to understand? had the best information? was best organised? looked the most reliable?CHOICES UPPER INTERMEDIATEONLINE SKILLS
