IMPORTANCE OF ENGLISH

A one-page worksheet to introduce the students to the role of prosody in communication, based around a fun activity that encourages students to express themselves through tone, intonation and gesture.

Prosody is Important

A VPN ("Virtual Private Network") is a tool to hide your IP and browse incognito. It is a networking technology that can connect one or more computers to a private network securely and remotely. This keeps your security and privacy when you are surfing the Internet, allowing you to change your virtual geographic location, regardless of where you are physically located. Anyone who connects to the Internet on a relatively regular basis should have access to a basic understanding of what "VPN" means and how a VPN service works.



There are many reasons why a VPN can be a very useful tool, even for those who use the most basic elements of the Internet world. In this article, we tell you more about the definition of VPN so that you can understand the importance of using a VPN and the relevance it has for your everyday virtual life.



How does a VPN work?



VPN helps people to get access to restricted content, for example, Disney is blocked in some countries: https://www.vpnservice.com/blog/best-vpn-to-watch-disney-plus-from-any-country/



The definition of "VPN" is Virtual Private Network. To understand what a VPN is, you need to know what an IP address is as well. An IP address ("Internet Protocol") is a unique and unrepeatable number that identifies a computer connected to the Internet



The number in your IP address is made up of four number combinations that refer to the country you are in or the type of network you are using (for example "124.28.16.180"). This would be like the zip code on your computer or phone.



An IP address is required to circulate information over the Internet, but unfortunately, it is this IP address that causes your geographic location to be shared with any website you try to access.



That's why VPN is important: VPN providers have servers located in different parts of the world, which makes it possible to redirect the flow of virtual information. This way you can use another IP address from those servers and thus hide your original IP. In other words, a VPN will allow you to navigate incognito. For example, you can unblock Netflix or unblock YouTube.



At the same time, a VPN service encrypts your data traffic, i.e. it applies encryption (such as a password) to the flow of your information. This protects your information and guarantees your virtual anonymity.
