F Reading: Recognizing main point(s)
Read the text about online trolls and choose the best option to answer the questions.

The Rise of the Troll

Social media has moved many of our conversations online. Of course, we don’t always agree with
each other. Arguments are part of the way we talk. However, for some people they are a form of
entertainment too. In fact, negative attention is all they want. Welcome to the world of the online
troll.

1 How to spot a troll

Annoying posts, negative comments, even fake stories: trolls love making you angry. If you’ve
spent time on social media, you’ve probably already met a troll. They live on message boards,
forums and comments sections. Here is how to spot them.
• They prefer to make rude or personal comments, rather than discuss an issue.
• Trolls like to hide. You’re not going to find much personal information or any pictures.
Look out for fake or recent accounts.
• Is someone posting very frequently? In many different boards? Be careful. You may find
these people reply immediately, but only to disagree.

2 Just a joke?
Everyone knows a class clown – that person who never stops joking and always needs attention.
But do we really need to worry about these people online? Restaurant owner Jasmine Patterson
thinks so: “When I got a few negative reviews, I thought they were from unhappy customers. But
they kept coming. Hundreds every month. Then I realized that most were fake. Stories that
couldn’t be true, like posts from dates when the restaurant was closed.” Jasmine says that the
fake reviews have continued ever since. “It’s like a challenge. A game that they’re trying to win –
who can write the funniest or the worst review possible. But for me, it’s my business. I’ve lost a
lot of money.”

3 Don’t feed the trolls!

We know trolls live everywhere. But what do you do if you meet one?
• Trolls are looking for a response. Most of the time if you don’t give them one, they
become bored and move on. The most important rule is don’t feed them. Don’t reply.
Just ignore them.
• Social networks might have rules to deal with rude or negative behaviour. In those
cases, don’t be afraid to report a troll.

4 Final thoughts
Maybe you don’t agree with stricter rules to control people online. However, one thing is clear.
There are times when the actions of trolls cross into cyberbullying. And one person’s joke can
mean huge problems for another person’s business.

J Writing: Mediation
You have 30 minutes to read the text and write an email. Write 120 words or more.
Imagine that you read this article in a magazine. Your friend has to do some research for an important
essay and asks you for advice. Write an email to your friend and:
 give them some advice on how to use search engines
 suggest some good ways to choose information from websites
 recommend using libraries.

Be a smart searcher!
Do you have an important essay to write for school or college? Are you having problems finding
enough good, reliable information about your subject? Follow our research tips and get top
grades!

1 Use search engines carefully

If you’re searching the internet for information, make sure you choose specific phrases to put into
the search engine. For example, if you want to find information about the history of transport in
London, don’t just search for ‘London’. Search for ‘history of transport’ + ‘London’.

2 Take your time finding sources

When they’re searching the internet, lots of people just look at the first few results from a search.
But the first few results aren’t always the best. Sometimes people pay to put their websites at the
top of search lists. Take some time and look through after the first few pages.

3 Use reliable sources

Check the address of web pages and make sure you understand who has created them. Take your
information from the sites of reliable organizations: museums, charities, governments,
newspapers, etc.

4 Check your sources

If you find some information on a web page, check it across a variety of reliable websites and
make sure that they all give the same information. Don’t use information that only appears on
one website.

5 Don’t forget books!

Using the internet is the easiest way of finding information. But not everything is online. Don’t
forget that a traditional library might contain the perfect book for your research!
