Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
These days, digital technology is a major part of everyday life for all of us, and we use it for almost
everything, from work to school and entertainment. Therefore, with everyone spending so much time
connected to the Internet and using digital devices, it's important that we all understand how to be
responsible digital citizens in the modern world. But what exactly does that mean?
A responsible digital citizen is someone who uses technology in a sensible way and encourages
others to do the same. They are careful about their online behaviour and always try to be as polite as
possible, which helps others to avoid having negative experiences online. Responsible digital citizens
respect other people's privacy, too. They don't post pictures of others or discuss people's personal lives
without their permission because that could harm their online security. In this way, digital citizens help
others to feel safer and more comfortable in the digital world.
Responsible digital citizens are also aware of the potential risks of being online. They understand
that fake websites and online scams try to access people's personal information to hack into their social
media accounts or even bank accounts.
When a digital citizen encounters one of these online scams, they should report it to the cyber police
to stop this behaviour from happening. By doing this, digital citizens play an important role in making
the Internet a safer place for all users. While many of us use digital technology safely, we should
remember that many other people are still at risk. By being responsible digital citizens, we can help
everyone gain the benefits of the digital world without putting themselves or others at risk.
