INTERNET SAFETY
We’re spending more and more of our lives online We buy things over the internet and chat to friends in chat rooms In fact, many of us live a large part of our lives in cyberspace It’s easy to forget, though, that there are the same kinds of risks there as there are in real life It’s important that all of us learn about internet safety from a young age to protect ourselves
For example, one thing about chatting on the internet is that you often can’t see the person you are chatting with Using video may be getting more common, which means that you can see if the person really is who they say they
Trang 2are Without that, though, it’s very easy for someone to pretend to be someone else Remember that a photograph can come from anywhere and doesn’t prove anything Be very careful who you trust because the teenager who wants to chat and be your friend might not really be a teenager at all
Another thing to be careful of is meeting online friends in real life You should never give your address or telephone number to people in chat rooms Apart from the danger of not being sure who they are, there’s also the danger of other people seeing what you write If you are thinking of meeting an online friend, always get your parents’ permission Ask them to come with you to meet your friend in a public place, such as café
You should also be careful with other information Never send anything important, like a credit card number, in
an email, for example The journey the email takes from one computer to the other seems instant However, it goes through other computers where people could possibly read your email and use that information That can be a very expensive mistake to make
Finally, remember that if something sounds too good to be true, then it probably is Some criminals try to fool people with emails that say you have won a prize It might look exciting, but almost all those messages are false When you reply, they will ask you to send money to get your prize You should always ignore those messages and delete them
Question 1 Why is the internet safety more important now?
A There are more criminals than before B We do more things on the internet now
C People often have fewer friends these days D We often don’t receive the things we buy online Question 2 When you chat with someone on the internet, you are safer if you
A ask for a photograph B only chat to teenager
C use video D pretend to be someone else
Question 3 When you give personal information in a chat room
A your parents don’t need to know B people learn to trust you
C you can meet more people D everyone can see it
Question 4 Putting personal information in an email could mean that you lose
A friends B money C time D your computer
Question 5 When you get an email offering you a prize you should
A pay no attention to it at all B reply to it immediately
C do what it asks you to D ask where to collect it
Câu 13, Read the passages and the questions Then choose A, B, C, or D that you think fits best
MIND YOUR MANNERS!
Do you ever speak with your mouth full of food? Do you forget to cover your mouth with your hand when you sneeze? If you are guilty of these “crimes”, then perhaps you should enrol on an Etiquette an Social skills course This is not just an ordinary course It’s a course in manners You will have lessons in good manners and how to behave in social situations
