Cyber Sense

I always keep things secret when I go online.

I never share the things that should be only mine.

My email and my home address, my phone number and name—These are things only I should know on websites or in games.

And so I use a nonsense name for my net identity. When folks online ask who I am, I say, "I'm Cyber Me." And if I ever think that someone online isn't all that bad, I never ever meet them without telling Mum or Dad.

Listen to the poem and see if you got the stressed words right.
