FIRST TERM ENGLISH TEST

Read the text carefully then do the following activities

A/Comprehension ( 8pts)

“What would you like to know about cyberbullying?” We posed this question to young people
and received thousands of responses from around the world. We brought together UNICEF
specialists, international cyberbullying and child protection experts, and teamed up with Facebook,
Instagram and Twitter to answer the questions and give their advice on ways to deal with online
bullying. (p1)
Cyberbullying is bullying with the use of digital technologies. It can take place on social
media, messaging platforms, gaming platforms and mobile phones. It is a repeated behaviour,
aimed at scaring, angering or shaming those who are targeted. Examples include: -spreading lies
about or posting embarrassing photos of someone on social media: - sending hurtful messages or
threats via messaging platforms. Impersonating someone and sending mean messages to others on
their behalf. (p2)
Face-to-face bullying and cyberbullying can often happen alongside each other. But
cyberbullying leaves a digital footprint – a record that can prove useful and provide evidence to
help stop the abuse.(p3)
If you are worried about your safety or something that has happened to you online, urgently
speak to an adult you trust. Or visit CHI ‘Child Helpline International’ to find help in your
country.(p4)
