Many students want to find friends on the Internet as a way of practising their language skills and learning
more about new cultures. Traditional pen pals were the main source (起源) of such contacts, and students
could write to each other. With the Internet, finding friends has become much easier, and such relationships
are called keypals.
However, careful thinking should be given when finding friends on the Internet:
First, search the Internet for famous services. Look for reviews of such sites to learn more about other
students' experiences. Don't join a service until you have done your research.
Second, check to see if you can use a false name, rather than your real name, to protect your identity.
Never give personal information to anyone, including your home address, phone number and birthday.
Third, stop contacting others if you feel uncomfortable with the topics of conversation. Tell your teachers,
parents, or even the local government if you find that you are in danger.
And finally, try to use the language you are studying in the classroom in your communications with others.
Ask proper questions that will also help you learn about other cultures. Remember that one's personal
experience might be just that: To understand a whole culture, you have to talk to many people, but this will get
you started. Good luck.
