DIALOGUE READING

Let’s read the dialogue below.
After reading it once, we’ll switch roles.

READ

Nicky:	Hi, Kevin. Have you tried using the new SNS called “XMS”?
Kevin:	Yes, I have. It is the new SNS where people can send messages, call others, and post different things online, right?
Nicky:	Yes, that’s the one. It is so convenient. I posted a picture yesterday and my dad saw it at that very moment even if he’s in Europe.
Kevin:	Wow. That’s cool, but you should be careful in using XMS and any other SNS.
Nicky:	Why? Is there something I should be aware of?
Kevin:	Actually, there is. Just a few hours ago, someone posted something using my sister’s XMS account. She was shocked when she saw it because she hasn’t been using it for about a week now.
Nicky:	Whoa! That’s scary. What is she planning to do?
Kevin:	Well, we told her to change her password and be more careful when using that SNS. You should be more careful in using different SNS, too.
