To keep our children safe from dangerous criminals, these tips might be helpful. First, children should be encouraged always to ask permission from their caregivers before they go anywhere. They should not only tell the caregivers where they will be at all times, but also who will be looking after them. Also, children should never walk or ride their bikes alone. Instead, they should

travel in groups whenever possible. More importantly, children should be taught to stay away from strangers, though they may offer to show them a puppy or give them candy. Children should be taught to say \necessary. Moreover, children should be told that no problem is too big or too small to ask grown-ups. In fact, it is never too late to ask for help, and to keep asking until they get the help they need. Last but not least, we should realize that many child-attack cases involve a family member or family friend, for example, a stepfather, sister's boyfriend, babysitter, neighbor, and so on.

Task 3

It is important to keep your personal information secure. Here are some ways to help you fight identity theft. After all, you don't want someone else to ruin your good credit rating and perhaps keep you from getting the loan you want to get.

The first thing you want to do is to watch how much information you give out on the Internet. For example, never put your credit card number into an email. If you do make purchases online, you need to

be careful. One way to be extra careful is to only use sites that offer a high level of encryption. Another way to be extra careful is to only use one credit card for all of your Internet purchases. Make sure that credit card has a low limit.

Another thing you have to do to help you avoid ID theft is to

destroy all your outgoing mail completely. Some thieves will pick up garbage, search through it, and pull out the credit card offers that you threw away because they were junk mail. Remember that a lot of your information is already there. All a thief has to do is forge your signature and mail the form back with a note that says you've changed your mailing address (to their address).

The third way to avoid identity theft is to make sure that your mailbox is safe. Have a slot in your front door for the mail to fall through. Even though that is not completely safe, it is still much safer than the post box outside your front door. Correct answer

(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11)
