Today I thought I’d blog about a question that has been asked many times—how do you stay safe online and avoid bad experiences on the Internet? I’m not an expert, but many years as a blogger have taught me a thing or two.
First of all, there’s the golden rule of the Internet: If you see or read something that makes you feel uncomfortable, leave the site immediately. Don’t post comments or click on anything. Second, protect your privacy.
Do n’t give out your address or phone number. Someone might use the information to steal your identity. Identity theft is a common and serious problem. Third, be polite. Being online is no excuse for being rude, and you don’t want to become a target for a troll or cyberbully.
A troll is a person who posts comments or questions in order to stir up trouble online. Trolls often use several false names so that they can stay on a site. A cyberbully uses the Internet to be mean to others.
Like a troll, a cyberbully will also write something mean but it is usually directed at particular people. He or she may also post embarrassing photos and information about those people. However, the more polite you are, the less likely it is you will be attacked.

Last year, we were having problems in our chat room. Mean comments were being posted by someone we didn’t know. I think he or she was only trying to make trouble.
去年,我们聊天室出了一些问题。有个我们不认识的人发了一些恶意的评论。我觉得这家伙是想捣乱。
Amy-A girl at my school had a very bad experience online. A photo of her had been posted online and she was being made fun of. It seemed like a joke at first, but the girl was very upset.
It was the first day of our winter holiday. All of us were very happy. Why? Because we have one months to do things we love to do.
今天是我们寒假的第一天。我们都很高兴。为什么?因为我们有一个月的时间去做我们喜欢做的事情。
We are free. Although we have some homework. But we can finish them in several days. And the rest time we can make good use of.
我们自由了。尽管我们还有一些家庭作业,但我们可以在几天内完成,剩下的时间我们可以好好利用。
My god! We have been very tired after hard studying. In winter holidays, I want to have full sleep and eat good food in order to replenish myself. Last but not the least, I will have a good rest.
