VIII. Read the article and do the tasks that follow.
Shopping Online
Lots of people enjoy the benefits of online shopping. You don’t have to sit in traffic
jams or wait at bus stops or at train stations. Because online stores are open 24 hours,
seven days a week, you can sit at your computer and shop at your leisure. And you
don’t have to collect your product because they deliver it right to your door.
But shopping online isn’t all great - you need to be very careful when deciding what to
buy and where to buy it. Here are some tips for shopping safely online.
Use a secure connection
The easiest way of making sure the connection is secure is to look for the lock sign in
the address bar. Another is to look at the start of the website address. If this starts with
“https”, there is a secure connection because the letter “s” means “secure”. If you see
‘http’ with no “s”, don’t enter the website or give your personal or bank details. It
could be a false website that is trying to steal your money or personal information.
Use a secure payment method
Only shop on sites that offer secure payment methods, like credit cards and other
payment systems. This gives you protection in a situation where you and the shop
disagree - the shop can’t say you did anything illegal, like using another person’s
credit card to pay. Banks usually contact you if they think something is wrong.
Create a strong password
A strong password is very important. It’s usually a good idea to change your
passwords every few months, just in case someone finds out what they are. Also, try to
use a different password for different online shopping sites: once someone guesses one
password, they can get access to everything you do online.
Check other customers' comments
Always check the seller’s history when using online sites. You can get an idea by
looking at other buyers’ comments. If you are not sure about a product, you can
always send the seller a question and the good sellers will reply fairly quickly.

C. look for a special icon on the screen.
D. look for the word ‘secure’ in the website address.
64. According to the author, why is it important to create a strong password?
A. so only you and the shop know your password.
