Peter: sure, I am a total internet junkie, I can't survive without
internet.
M: really? What do you usually do online?
P: well, there are a lot of things, like reading news, email, shopping,
etc. but mostly I chat online. You could say I'm addicted to online
chatting.
M: I never chatted online before. What's it like.
P: well, basically it's similar to face-to-face chat, but you type instead
of talk. You should try it at least once.
M: really? Who do you chat with?
P: to people all over the world! I have a lot of net pals. See, the magic
of internet is that it connects people from all over the world. You can chat
with someone thousands of miles away as if they were just next to you. But I
also use it to chat with my brother in India and other friends abroad.
M: that's amazing. I will install an online messenger program when I get
home.
P: well, my suggestion for a newbie like you is that don't get lost in the
cyberspace. You know internet won't do the filtration for you, so you still need
to use your judgement. There are a lot of people on the internet who might try
to take advantage of you.
M: don't worry. |
