Write a paragraph (150 words) on the following topic:
"How can cyberbullying be prevented?"
Suggested paragraph:
Cyberbullying has become a burning issue in the present-day society, where modern technology has developed at great speed. Thus, something should be done to prevent it to the maximum. First, children should be told and explained carefully about cyberbullying; for example, what cyberbullying is and whether they know anyone who is being bullied. This way, they will become aware of the issue. Second, it is advisable that safe online behaviors be comprehensively taught to children because although a lot of social networking activity seems harmless, there are still unavoidable risks created from the virtual world. Children had better understand the fact that once they post something online, it never disappears from the Internet and they can lose control over it since it can be easily saved and shared or even modified by others. Even deleting it doesn't remove it from the Internet. Therefore, children are advised to think carefully before any personal updates online and only post what they would be comfortable with anyone seeing. Last but not least, children should be taught how to properly respond to cyberbullying. If they respond to cyberbullying, the bullies would feel satisfied and powerful. Then, they ought to keep a record of everything, collect the evidence and join with parents and teachers to figure out the best solution. In conclusion, if each student is equipped with accurate information on cyberbullying, this matter will be resolved someday.

Underline and correct ten mistakes in the following passage. Write the corrections in the space given below.
With Europe facing the more serious flu epidemic in years, the World Health Organization is warning the public, specially the sick and elderly, to do an inoculation now. Health experts warn that this winter’s outbreak could be as severe as the 1989 epidemic, who killed 25,000 people in Britain only. WHO has stressed the importance in vaccination, and several countries are already taking precautions to ensure that those at high-risk categories, such like diabetes and those with heart or lung complaints, are vaccinated. Nearly all previous strains of flu are known to originate in China and the Far East, and whereas in the past, infection spread slowly across the world, in these days of mass air travel, rapid global infection is a great threat. Sweden has reported cases of para-influenza, effecting mainly children, and Danish doctors had recorded 1,500 cases of flu in the past week.
