Think before you post. It’s fun to share photos with your friends, but don’t post photos of yourself that strangers can guess where you took. Check your privacy settings. Make sure that only your friends can see your information or photos.

There are people online who want to steal your personal information. So make sure you don’t share your passwords with anyone. What’s more, choose passwords carefully and change them often.

② There are a lot of great people communicating on the Internet. However, some people online are not so nice. If you receive e-mails from someone you don’t know, think carefully before you reply. And if someone invites you to meet somewhere, tell your parents about it before you make a decision.

Be careful when you open attachments（附件）. Someone you don’t know might send you an e-mail with an attachment that has a computer virus. ③ . A virus can cause all kinds of trouble. It can stop your computer from working. So never open a file or message from someone you don’t know! Be safe by hitting “Delete” instead.
