C. This is a reader’s opinion on the article you have just read. Write a small paragraph stating whether you agree or disagree with him.

This is definitely a step in the right direction but it’s the parents who really need education on the dangers of the Net. Most “grooming” takes place when children are surfing at home. It’s very irresponsible just to let children have PCs in their bedrooms and have no way of monitoring what they are looking at/ I suspect these lessons will have little impact – just as sex education lessons at school have had no impact on reducing teenage pregnancies.

Text A

21St-century love

Women used to drop handkerchiefs as a way of getting men’s attention. And ... men used to pick them up so they had an excuse to talk to women.

That was at the beginning of the last century. Now it’s a completely different world!

E-mails and e-females find love

It doesn’t matter whether you have designer clothes or not, you don’t have to have your hair done and you can meet people 24/7. Shy people or those who wish someone would take time to get to know their personality, welcome online love. But cyberspace can be a dangerous place. American teen Carol was 13 when she met «Frank» in a chatroom, he said he was a 23-year-old student from California. Carol got used to confiding in « Frank» who pestered her to meet up with him. A few months later, she agreed to do it. « Frank» was a sex offender who attacked her.

Carol had a bad experience but it doesn’t have to be like that and to prevent this from happening all you have to do it to follow some simple safety tips:

  • Never give important information about yourself to strangers on the Net and use an e-mail address that ensures nobody has these details.  

  • Be cautious about anyone who asks you to keep any kid of friendship secret.

  • If you do arrange to meet anyone, make sure you stay in a public place.

  • Avoid falling head over heels in love with anyone you’ve never met. You don’t actually know them!

Text B Teens talk about cyberlove

I personally wouldn’t go for online love but my sister did. It was a major drama. She e-mailed him, then phoned him, then ran off with him! After a couple of months they got married. Did I mention that he was Chinese and has never left his country? Well, that’s what I call a « cyber miracle».

I know quite a few girls but if you are shy or live in an area where you don’t know a lot of girls, e-mails dating would be a good thing to do. You don’t have to marry them! You can just flirt a bit.

Tom, 17

I suppose the Internet is quite a good way of getting to know the person before you meet her to go on a date. I use the phone more than the e-mail. To tell the truth, I’m a phonaholic.

Rob, 16

Y ou hear too many scary stories about online dating. Anyway, I’d want to go out with the person properly and get to know him by talking. I know it’s a stereotype but I imagine a real geek when I think of dating online.
