Can you remember a time you weren’t allowed to use the internet?

Yes, I can recall time during my childhood when I wasn't allowed to use the Internet. My parents were quite strict about screen time and believe that too much Internet use could distract me from my studies. For example, they only allowed me to go online for educational purposes, browsing to weekends. These restrictions helped me focus more on my homework and outdoor activities.

× For example, they only allowed me to go online for educational purposes, browsing to weekends.
✓ For example, they only allowed me to go online for educational purposes, browsing on weekends.
The preposition 'to' is incorrect in this context. The correct preposition to indicate time when an activity happens regularly is 'on'. Therefore, 'browsing to weekends' should be corrected to 'browsing on weekends'.
× My parents were quite strict about screen time and believe that too much Internet use could distract me from my studies.
✓ My parents were quite strict about screen time and believed that too much Internet use could distract me from my studies.
The sentence mixes past and present tense incorrectly. Since the first clause is in past tense ('were'), the verb 'believe' should also be in past tense ('believed') to maintain tense consistency.
× I often find myself scrolling through my phone for hours without realizing it, which sometimes effects my productivity.
✓ I often find myself scrolling through my phone for hours without realizing it, which sometimes affects my productivity.
The verb 'effects' is incorrect here; the correct verb is 'affects' which means to influence. 'Effect' as a verb means to bring about, which is not the intended meaning here.
× Without the Internet, I would probably rely on traditional methods of communication and information gathering such as reading books, newspapers, or taking face to face with people.
✓ Without the Internet, I would probably rely on traditional methods of communication and information gathering such as reading books, newspapers, or having face-to-face conversations with people.
The phrase 'taking face to face with people' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'having face-to-face conversations'. Also, 'face-to-face' should be hyphenated as it is a compound adjective.
