1In our modern world, the Internet connects us to the world and offers endless chances to learn.However, it also brings hidden risks and problems.Being wise on the Internet is a must.

2To start with, being wise on the Internet requires users to have good manners online.Thinking about other users online is vital, as words can cause misunderstandings and fights very quickly if used wrongly.When chatting in online groups or in comments, always be nice to others, stay away from mean words, and don't share details about yourself that could be used to hurt you.

3Another key part of being wise on the Internet is keeping your privacy and security safe.The Internet is full of people who want to find weak spots in systems and take important information.To keep safe,use strong, special passwords for all sites, turn on multi-step security checks when you can,and stay away from dodgy websites or links.Regularly bring your software up to date, use a good and trusted virus checker, and use a VPN for extra safety and to hide your information from others.

4Also, finding out about news on the Internet and possible risks is key to safety and security online.Knowing about new Internet scams (骗局) and risks can help you spot danger when surfing online.Look for information from different places, read fair reviews and reports, and compare data to make sure you don't get tricked.

5Lastly, being wise on the Internet means being careful with what you read and write and being responsible for what you read and write.The Internet may have lots of information, but not all of it is trustworthy or accurate.Always think hard about any information you find and check if it's correct and important before passing it on to others.

6In the end, being wise on the Internet covers many different ways to behave online that result in safe, responsible, and nice chats online.By thinking about our manners online, keeping our privacy safe, learning about risks, and checking the information we read and give to others, we can stay safe and help make a nice and helpful place on the Internet.
