免費英文講義｜全民英檢初級密碼與個資安全閱讀口說練習

Lesson Overview

This free GEPT Elementary handout helps students practice A2 reading and speaking through password safety, personal information, phishing messages, and two-step verification.

Students read three short passages, learn useful online safety words, practice five dialogs, and give simple safety advice in English.

The material is original classroom content informed by official online safety and password guidance.

Reading 1 閱讀 | A New Password

Ryan is a junior high school student. He uses the same password for his game account, email, and school website. The password is his birthday and his nickname. It is easy for him to remember, but it is not very safe.

One day, Ryan cannot log in to his game account. He sees a message: 'Your password was changed.' Ryan feels nervous. He tells his sister, Ivy. Ivy asks, 'Did you share your password with anyone?' Ryan says, 'No, but my password is very easy.'

Ivy helps Ryan make a new password. She says a strong password should be long and not easy to guess. Ryan makes a passphrase with four words and a number. He also writes it in a safe notebook at home, not on a public computer.

Then Ivy tells him, 'Use different passwords for important accounts.' Ryan changes his email password too. He learns that a password is like a key. If one key opens every door, losing it can be a big problem.

Reading 2 閱讀 | A Strange Message

On Wednesday afternoon, Mia gets a message on her phone. It says, 'Your video app account will close today. Click this link and log in now.' The message looks serious, and the logo looks real. Mia almost clicks the link.

Before she clicks, she remembers her teacher's advice: stop, check, and ask. Mia looks at the address in the link. It has many strange letters. She opens the real app by herself and checks her account. There is no warning in the app.

Mia shows the message to her teacher. The teacher says it may be phishing. A phishing message tries to make people click a bad link or give away passwords. It may say there is a prize, a problem, or an urgent deadline.

Mia deletes the message and tells her classmates, 'Do not click links when you feel scared or rushed. Open the real app or website yourself.' Her classmates thank her because many of them have seen strange messages too.

Reading 3 閱讀 | Two Steps Are Safer

At school, Mr. Chen teaches a short lesson about online privacy. He says, 'Your name, phone number, home address, school name, photos, and birthday are personal information. Think carefully before you post them.'

Mr. Chen also talks about two-step verification. When students log in to an account, they may need a password and a short code from their phone or email. It takes a little more time, but it can make an account much safer.

Kevin says, 'It is annoying to type another code.' Mr. Chen answers, 'I understand, but a code can stop someone who only knows your password.' The students try a role-play. One student is a hacker with a password. Another student has the phone code. The hacker cannot get in.

After class, Kevin turns on two-step verification for his email. He also updates his phone because updates can fix safety problems. Kevin does not become a computer expert in one day, but he starts with small, smart steps.

Teacher Notes

Use the warm-up questions before Reading 1 and ask students to share safe habits without saying real passwords.

Ask students to role-play the dialogs in pairs, then change one detail and practice again.

Use the quiz as a quick review or homework check. Stronger students can write a class online safety poster.
