TASK ONE: Reading "Let's Chat"
Young people today, especially teenagers, are spending more and more of their time meeting new friends online and chatting with them for hours. But is this always a good thing?
Talking to someone you have never met online, with or without a webcam, can be exciting. You can spend hours and hours talking to people who may be on the other side of the world. They can tell you a lot of things about cultures and countries that are new to you. The best thing is that you don't even have to leave your bedroom! You can leam a lot about foreign places just by using your computer!
On the other hand, chatting online with people you don't really know is not always safe. Anyone can enter a chat room, so you can't really know if the person at the other end is being honest with you. Also, some people spend too much time chatting online and they don't go outside and hang out with their friends.
Chatting online can be a nice experience if you are careful. Don't share your personal information with people you don't know and don't forget to spend time with the friends who are near you.
