Traditional pen pals were the primary source for such contacts, and students could write each other letters. With the Internet, fingding friends has become much easier, and such relationships are called key pals.However, care and consideration should be given when finding friends on the Internet:Search the Internet for reputable（有信誉的）services. Look for reviews of such sites to learn more about other students experiences. Dont join a service until you have done your research.Check to see if you can use a nickname, instead of _, to protect your identity.Never give personal information to anyone, including your home address, phone number, and birthday.Stop contact with others if you feel uncomfortable with the topics of conversation. Again, if you protect your identity, this will be easier to do. Tell your teachers, parents, or even local law enforement if problem arise.Try to use the language you are studying in the classroom in your communication with others.Ask appropriate questions that will also help you learn about other cultures. Remember that someones personal experience might help you to understand a whole culture. You have to talk to many different people, and this will get you started.71.
