The Internet has become part of teenage life. There's a report on 3,375 students between 10 and 18 years old in seven Chinese cities. It says that 36% of them believe they use the Internet often. While most of them get useful information and use the Internet to help in their studies, some are not using it in a good way. Many are playing online games too much. A few even visit Web sites they should not look at. Bad things can happen if young people spend too much time on the Internet.
In order to help young people use the Internet in a good way, some big cities have started to use a textbook on good Internet habits this term. The textbook uses real examples to teach students all about good ways of using the Internet. It gives useful advice, such as it's good to read news or find helpful information to study. Some students also make online friends. But if you are meeting a friend offline (离线), let your parents know.
Teachers and parents all think the E-book is a very good idea. It will teach students how to be a good person in the online world. It will be a guide for teens using the Internet and keep students away from bad sites.
